Webster was a US Attorney General... I think I am going to take his word on the importance of maintaining political independence of the FBI...
Some interesting commentary from former federal (SDNY) prosecutor Andrew McCarthy on the FBI and independence. From his recent book Ball of Collusion:
Quote:
…[James] Comey was ostentatiously disdainful of politics--the personification of progressive theory that the Justice Department and FBI should be so insulated from their political superiors...that they effectively become an independent, unaccountable fourth branch of government...
The FBI defied the Constitution's grant to the people's representative of the power to monitor the activities....of agencies such as the FBI, which Congress created, regulates by law, and funds with taxpayer dollars....
Under Comey's direction, the FBI decided not to inform Congress about the Crossfire Hurricane probe....(p.216)
McCarthy goes on to describe how Rep. Elise Stefanik (R,NY) took Comey apart over this issue in a house intel committee hearing.
In short, if Webster wants an independent FBI, he needs to run a constitutional amendment, and create an additional branch of government. Good luck with that.

at 95, he should be worried about lasting until Easter.
Andrew McCabe, former Dep. Director and acting director for a short time of the FBI, says a similar thing about the need for FBI independence in his book.
Unfortunately for Webster, Comey, and McCabe, the US Constitution says otherwise. The question becomes: are they really that ignorant, or are they dissimulating?

100% they know it would require a constitutional amendment.
They are lying because the amount of money and power that an American Praetorian guard could wield is intoxicating.

John Brennan yep I’m just saying because you are saying fbi boys got credibility
