II. Recommendations For these reasons, and as more fully described in previous chapters, we recommend the following:
1. The Department and the FBI consider developing practice guidance that would assist investigators and prosecutors in identifying the general risks with and alternatives to permitting a witness to attend a voluntary interview of another witness, in particular when the witness is serving as counsel for the other witness.
2. The Department consider making explicit that, except in situations where the law requires or permits disclosure, an investigating agency cannot publicly announce its recommended charging decision prior to consulting with the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, U.S. Attorney, or his or her designee, and cannot proceed without the approval of one of these officials.
3. The Department and the FBI consider adopting a policy addressing the appropriateness of Department employees discussing the conduct of uncharged individuals in public statements.
4. The Department consider providing guidance to agents and prosecutors concerning the taking of overt investigative steps, indictments, public announcements, or other actions that could impact an election.
5. The Office of the Deputy Attorney General consider taking steps to improve the retention and monitoring of text messages Departmentwide.
6. The FBI add a warning banner to all of the FBI’s mobile phones and mobile devices in order to further notify users that they have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
7. The FBI consider (a) assessing whether it has provided adequate training to employees about the proper use of text messages and instant messages, including any related discovery obligations, and (b) providing additional guidance about the allowable uses of FBI devices for any non-governmental purpose, including guidance about the use of FBI devices for political conversations
8. The FBI consider whether (a) it is appropriately educating employees about both its media contact policy and the Department’s ethics rules pertaining to the acceptance of gifts, and (b) its disciplinary provisions and penalties are sufficient to deter such improper conduct.
9. Department ethics officials consider implementing a review of campaign donations when Department employees or their spouses run for public office.
They think we are stupid.
They think we are Democrats......................
On what one? It’s clear the IG report is a joke.
But the comprehensive amnesty bill isn’t—and silence until next week will get it passed into law.
On the amnesty bill.
My congressman is Gaetz, fairly sure he will vote against.
My Senator is Rubio. I’m not going to waste even a single second of my life attempting to speak to him.
My President is Trump. He ran against shit like this.
If he signs it into law, I expect he will be removed from office before his first term.
There’s the rope, boys and girls, and there’s plenty of it for everyone. Take care.
They’ve teed it up to be passed as early as Monday and Breitbart is just about the only outlet to cover it—despite the full text being released today.
It is a monstrosity and without the Trump admin having pushed back on it—indeed, Steven Miller this week announced they’d support the mushiest version of it—it will likely pass with enough support to be veto-proof.
This will be the undoing of the Trump admin and the nation, and nobody is paying any attention to it:
Oh, many of us are paying attention, screaming even, but no one is listening. Too many people, even here on FR, will defend and vote for these people come November because they are Republican, because a Democrat may win. So, with guaranteed votes, these politicians can do whatever they want without accountability. I just hope someone reminds Trump that illegal aliens, immigration, and deporting them is what got him elected. His base won’t forget if he breaks his promise.
