You're empowered to take away somebody's liberty, or in extreme circumstances, somebody's life.
You need to demonstrate that you've had good judgment, not just for the past three years, but for your entire adulthood and even before.
There is an immense amount of power given to FBI agents, and that comes with an immense amount of responsibility.
And so it requires an immense amount of situational judgment and emotional maturity.
A background check is just one of the ways to get at do people possess those qualities.
Thanks for having me.
It's not just Democrats.
There are Republican senators, Pete Ricketts, others saying, look, we understand it was us, but the president should just come out and apologize for it and say, look, this was a mistake.
Sorry if it offended anyone.
Why not?
So I'm going to disappoint you with my initial answer, but trust me, I will get back to a place of similar concern.
The FBI has had a senior election executive for quite some time now, any time there has been a major cycle.
And it's not a particularly nefarious position.
It's simply a very senior ranking intelligence analyst from headquarters who is in charge of coordinating all potential threat streams and crimes that may...
So we're talking about some things like public corruption, attempts to stop people from voting all the way to a potential terrorist attack or foreign interference in the electoral process.
None of that sounds crazy.
In fact, it's the sort of thing you want the FBI to be doing.
I'll confess I'm a little mystified as to the Nevada Secretary of State's comments because, you know, for at least the last few years I was in the FBI, this was a regular occurrence during any election cycle.
The problem, though, is
that everything the FBI has done under this director prior to this message going out undermines the very things that the FBI is supposed to be protecting in this role.
