GOP senator to FBI: 'Someone's got to be fired'
2019-12-12
[The Hill] Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) told Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz that "someone’s got to be fired" within FBI leadership based on his inspector general report, which found widespread fault with how the FBI handled its investigation of President Trump's 2016 campaign.

"After about 15 percent of the way through [the report] it made me want to heave, after about 25 percent of the way through I thought I’d dropped acid, it’s surreal," Kennedy said.

Asked by Kennedy how many people involved in the investigation were still working for the FBI, Horowitz responded "the higher level people, as you know, have changed over in the last year ‐ a lot of people at the upper levels," but "some of the agents are still there."

Asked for details on who was still at the FBI, Horowitz responded "I would encourage you to speak to the FBI about that."

"I think we will," Kennedy responded.

#6  I thought they already picked some low level flunky lawyer to take one for the team.

#5   The entire chain involved in this should serve serious jail time if not charges of Treason.

Their criminal acts do not meet the constitutional definition of treason. However, sedition and malfeasance are a different matter.

#2  No, not some scapegoat who will only be hired in some think tank or media. The entire chain involved in this should serve serious jail time if not charges of Treason.
