This is an admission from a Mueller surrogate that this investigation is about impeaching the President. As such, it should be wholly under the jurisdiction of the House of Representatives and it should be stopped by them, even if it means passing a bill and having the Senate vote on it.
DOJ and the FBI have no authority to engage in impeachment actions without having been empowered to do so by the House.
This is more evidence that the DOJ/FBI cabal has decreed itself to be a separate branch of government and subject to no control or oversight by any elected official. It’s the end of our Federated Republic if this is allowed to continue.
The presence of an FBI lawyer to represent an FBI official before the HOR is more evidence of their self-proclaimed independence.
“DOJ and the FBI have no authority to engage in impeachment actions without having been empowered to do so by the House.”
That is an excellent point. The FBI agents committed an unconstitutional act by engaging in government activities to impeach the president.
