This memo again formalized the wall within the FBI and made clear how investigations were to be carried out. Gorelcik did NOT initiate this policy.

Look at page 2 of the memo. She very clearly states that her directive goes "beyond" what the law requires.

Please do not misunderstand - I too feel that Gorelick needs to be removed from the Commission for this, and other reasons.

due thoughm to my experience in this area (Counter-Intelligence) I wanted to make it quite clear that the memo itself is not as unusual as many would believe. Being "overly careful" is not normally a fault, unless and until such carefulness results in the loss of lives (as it did here).

The argument that her sucessors retained the guidelines during the first eight months is disingenious in that, it took her and the previous administration several years to even set these guidlines.
