I think this goes back to this idea that the FBI is "independent", that I don't really understand what it is supposed to mean.  They are part of the Executive Branch and as such, they are answerable to the President.  I guess J. Edgar Hoover started this idea that they are special and independent.  He used it as a political weapon.  Maybe it is time to abolish the FBI and recreate a new agency that understands it works for the President.
