Book excerpt: The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is appointed by the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The statutory basis for the present nomination and confirmation process was developed in 1968 and 1976, and has been used since the death of J.Edgar Hoover in 1972. Over this time, five nominations have been confirmed and two have been withdrawn by the President before confirmation. The position of FBI Director has a fixed 10-year term, and the officeholder may not be reappointed. There are no statutory conditions on the President's authority to remove the FBI Director. The current FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller III, was confirmed by the Senate on August 2, 2001, and his term of office is set to expire in September 2011. In May 2011, President Barack Obama announced his intention to seek legislation that would extend Mr. Mueller's term of office for two years. On May 26, 2011, Senator Patrick Leahy introduced S. 1103, a bill that would extend the term of the incumbent Director of the FBI. This report provides some legislative history surrounding the enactment of the 1968 and 1976 amendments to the appointment of the FBI Director, as well as information on the nominees to the FBI Directorship since 1972. It then discusses precedent for lengthening the tenure of an office and the constitutionality of extending the tenure of the Directorship for the current incumbent, and addresses whether it would be necessary for Mr. Mueller to be appointed a second time. Table. This is a print on demand report.
Download or read book Confirmation Hearing on the Nomination of James B Comey Jr to Be Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation written by Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When James Comey, Jr., now under consideration to be the seventh Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, appeared before the Committee on the Judiciary in 2007, he described a dramatic hospital bedside confrontation with senior White House officials who were trying to get an ailing John Ashcroft, who was in the hospital, to reauthorize an NSA surveillance program that the Justice Department had concluded was illegal. As Deputy Attorney General, Mr. Comey showed courage and independence by standing firm against this attempt to circumvent the rule of law. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11th, the FBI has dramatically increased its national security and counterterrorism efforts, but that is a transition that has not been without problems. From National Security Letters to the revelations about the use of PATRIOT Act surveillance authorities, we have not yet struck the right balance between the intelligence-gathering needs of the FBI and the privacy rights of Americans. The FBI must have the tools necessary to help keep us safe from terrorism, but that should not come at the expense of our constitutional rights. During Mr. Comey's tenure as Deputy Attorney General, he approved a legal memo that authorized the use of waterboarding and other techniques long recognized as torture under both domestic and international law. If we learned nothing else from those years following the September 11th attacks, it is that who leads our Nation-at all levels of Government-matters. We need strong, ethical leaders who will steadfastly adhere to the rule of law.

This book was released on 2017-06-17 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rights of all Americans are at stake in the selection of an FBI Director. He has extraordinary power to affect the lives of ordinary Americans. By properly using the investigative powers, the FBI can protect the security of all of us to combat sophisticated crime, espionage and terrorism. But these same powers the FBI has, if they are unchecked, they can undermine our civil liberties, our freedom of speech and association, and the right to privacy. If the FBI leaks information, they can destroy the lives and reputations of people who have not been charged or had a trial. And, worse, such leaking can be used for political intimidation and coercion. By respecting constitutional safeguards for criminal suspects, the FBI can help ensure that persons accused of Federal crimes receive a fair trial and that justice is served. The paramount standard for evaluating a new Director is his demonstrated adherence to the Constitution as the bulwark of liberty and the rule of law. Many in our country have lost some confidence in the Bureau. That is more than just a PR problem, because if you erode public trust, then you erode the ability of the FBI to do its job.

Download or read book October Surprise written by Devlin Barrett and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2016 Election, which altered American political history, was not decided by the Russians or in Ukraine or by Steve Bannon. The event that broke Hillary's blue wall in the Midwest and swung Florida and North Carolina was an October Surprise, and it was wholly a product of the leadership of the FBI. This is the inside story by the reporter closest to its center. In September 2016, Hillary Clinton was the presumptive next president of the US. She had a blue wall of states leaning her way in the Midwest, and was ahead in North Carolina and Florida, with a better than even shot at taking normally Republican Arizona. The US was about to get its first woman president. Yet within two months everything was lost. An already tightening race saw one seismic correction: it came in October when the FBI launched an investigation into the Clinton staff's use of a private server for their emails. Clinton fell 3-4 percent in the polls instantly, and her campaign never had time to rebut the investigation or rebuild her momentum so close to election day. The FBI cost her the race. October Surprise is a pulsating narrative of an agency seized with righteous certainty that waded into the most important political moment in the life of the nation, and has no idea how to back out with dignity. So it doggedly stands its ground, compounding its error. In a momentous display of self-preservation, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and key Justice Department officials decide to protect their own reputations rather than save the democratic process. Once they make that determination, the race is lost for Clinton, who is helpless in front of their accusation even though she has not intended to commit, let alone actually committed, any crime. A dark true-life thriller with historic consequences set at the most crucial moment in the electoral calendar, October Surprise is a warning, a morality tale and a political and personal tragedy.
