After 40 years of very careful study, I would like to see the following changes:
FBI Director nominees SELECTED and Director Approved by the U.S. Senate. Congress may offer up nominees. President has NO firing or hiring authority over ANYONE in the FBI. Director of FBI has a FIVE YEAR term.
Congress or Senate may appoint ad hoc Special Investigator AND his senior staff for any Congressional, Senatorial, OR Internal FBI investigation.
The Director, SOLELY, has hiring and firing authority, subject to legal review by the U. S. Judicial system. However, I recommend the Director have a committee from the FBI to sanction hiring and firing.
The U.S. Attorney General may continue to task the FBI.
The FBI then becomes the Senior Investigative Authority for ALL other U.S. Government activities. Appropriate liaisons continue with other entities: Secret Service, CIA, U.S. Marshals, etc.
Do you like this? Not like it? If not, how would you change?
