As I mentioned we also now have someone like Nunes who isn't even shy about his willingness to let his politics influence his decision making. We have a House Intelligence Committee that released a memo including classified information that was shared by the FBI that they did not consult the FBI on when they decided to release it.

 

Unfortunately both sides have fallen off their pedestals. As I said this may change the precedent moving forward but that doesn't change the fact that up until now it has been perfectly reasonable and within their limits for the FBI/DoJ to decide in certain circumstances to withhold information. Congress gave them that ability and unfortunately the person who has to decide what information to withhold has to be someone on the DoJ/FBI side since it would defeat the purpose if you share it for the purposes of deciding if you should share it.

 

As I said at the beginning though - Didn't Nunes go and have a private meeting and he has cooled off a bit since? (https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/nunes-seems-to-back-off-threats-after-department-of-justice - Just a quick google)

 

I don't disagree that there probably should be some oversight without exceptions, but that wasn't how Congress set up their statute. They have up until now allowed the DoJ/FBI to decide, in rare circumstances, to not share information. People without access to the classified information can determine when it qualifies (for obvious reasons based on logic), so that has to be an internal decision. If they don't like that, they can set a new precedent (and presumably change that statute?) but in this case the FBI and DoJ is acting APPROPRIATELY based on current statutes that set forth how they share information.

The difference being that Nunes is elected and accountable to the voters of his district.  The likes of Rosenstein, Strzrok, Mueller, etc., seem to act as if they are accountable to no one.  This seemed to have accelerated under the last administration with both the DOJ, and the IRS, not to mention EPA, etc.  I am amazed so many folks appear to be blind as to how once respected agencies have been used as political tools by an administration.  Now we have the potential that the FBI had a mole inside a political campaign.  I do not care if it was the Trump campaign, that is just wrong regardless, but I suppose since so many of those driving in the left ditch ignore their own side actually (with proof) colluding with the Russians while condemning the other side just for a potential allegation.
