IJR News — today's news from every sideMarcus Bell Bureaucrats pushing their own agenda instead of following elected leadership is exactly why trust in agencies keeps dropping. Rachel Meyers Anyone running unauthorized operations inside the bureau should face consequences regardless of the target country involved. Dana Whitfield This points to deeper concerns about how federal agencies viewed election integrity behind the scenes. Jared Kim This retraction leaves me questioning how solid the original China tip actually was before they walked it back. Derek Foss Bureaucrats pushing back against policy changes is one thing, but bragging about a shadow government crosses into dangerous territory. Dana Whitfield No one in the bureau should be operating like they answer to no one but themselves. Rachel Meyers The FBI needs a full review to root out anyone treating their role as above the voters and their representatives. Dana Whitfield If true, it raises questions about what other agencies might have similar rogue elements. Derek Foss I hope this leads to a full review of how decisions get made without public input. Chris Dalton Someone openly admitting they operated outside elected control needs to face real accountability, not just headlines. Elena Vasquez I doubt one person could pull off anything like that alone, but the attitude itself deserves a full review. Chris Dalton If she was willing to say she ran a shadow government, any tip she gave on China should have been double checked from the start. Rachel Meyers Anyone boasting about operating outside normal channels at the FBI should face a full investigation and possible firing. Chris Dalton Any suggestion of operating outside normal government channels deserves a full public review by Congress.
