Exactly, not to mention there are many on the ladder top and bottom that are dirty and may forgo the messsges . I Don’t believe everyone in this admin is a good guy . You can’t bet there are many that are no good ,,
Are you proposing that the FBI should be an executive entity unto itself? One could make an argument for that, especially with the FBI in it's current form.
That form is my concern though. The FBI's charter changed under Obama's 2nd term. Since its inception, it was a law enforcement agency. Their charter changed to that of an intelligence agency. I would argue that change immediately puts the agency at odds with the American people.
In it's current form, I think an argument could be made that the FBI should be a separate entity from the DOJ. However, I would greatly prefer that the FBI return to being a law-enforcement agency under the DoJ.
I don't think it would have to be separate from the DOJ. I think there are too many spies inside and out of the DOJ/FBI that would love to be the hero that thwarted Kash Patel and Donald Trump, and because of that Commissioner Gordon should have a Batphone on his desk so he can contact Batman directly.
It should always be this way.
Why should the head of the FBI have to go through a gatekeeper? That is the opposite of independence and protocols be damned.
"Why should the head of the FBI have to go through a gatekeeper?"
The FBI is part of the DoJ. That's probably the biggest reason.
I know it is. Doesn't change my question.
I think the FBI, if it is functioning properly, is too important to have to go through whatever hoops and bottlenecks a DOJ director might set up.

True but the FBI has the actionable intelligence and the doj should not be a gate keeper of that information. It's more of a timeliness thing.
