About Investigations Be Logged?","summary_override":"

This bill — the Security from Political Interference in Justice Act of 2019 — seeks 1) to establish the norm of the Dept. of Justice’s (DOJ) independence and 2) increase transparency and accountability in the relationship between the White House and the DOJ relative to ongoing or potential investigations. A breakdown of its various provisions can be found below.

Specifically, this bill would:

Require both the White House and DOJ to log all communications between White House and DOJ officials and staff pertaining to specific cases or investigations that DOJ might undertake. The log would include: 1) the names of participants in the communication, 2) the topics of the communications, and 3) a statement describing the purpose and necessity of the communication.
Require that the logs be disclosed Congress, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) every six months.
Direct OIG and OPR to review the logs and to notify Congress if any of the logged communications are inappropriate from a law enforcement perspective or raise concerns about improper political interference.

Certain top-level contacts are exempt from disclosure to Congress, but such contacts would have to be logged, shared with OIG and OPR, and disclosed in response to a Congressional subpoena. Both the logging and disclosure requirements would remain in place irrespective of the White House and/or DOJ’s internal contacts policies.

Won’t listen to slogans, chanted mantras or generally any kind of marketing spin or “rebranding” crap. I firmly believe that everyone else is entitled to their erroneous opinions. Citizen vigilance and due diligence is price we must pay to live in a thriving, functional democracy.\nI fear that our citizens are too easily swayed by politician’s pablum about “babies”, “jobs” and now, in particular, perceived “enemies”. I fear that a citizenry focused on the “here-and-now” is easily tricked by short term benefits that have negative long-term consequences. I fear that our legislators are more concerned about buffing their constituents than looking out for the long-term welfare of our country- and are way too eager to provide those short-term benefits to the “here-and-now” crowd.\nI fear that honor is generally being sacrificed/replaced by expediency. I hear politicians eloquently argue for one side of an issue and later, when it’s to their benefit, just as eloquently argue for the opposite side. OK, so they are good at arguing- but what is that they actually believe? What is it that they actually stand for? An honorable person has values that persist even when it is not convenient or expedient. An honorable person has a moral compass that stops them from doing something wrong even if it is not illegal. A foul is a foul- even if the referee doesn’t catch you.\nI fear that each of our federal governmental branches have devised or discovered shortcuts which tend to protect them from the checks and balances our founders intended.","twitter_id":null,"facebook_id":null,"youtube_id":null,"google_plus_id":null,"website":null,"slug":"jimk","issue_count":0,"is_following":null,"influence_score":39540,"influence_level":40,"follower_count":1307,"following_count":55,"position_count":491,"id":"9odrQBnb","partner_id":null},{"name":"burrkitty","vote_count":1131,"photos":{"large":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/8mrvqvpm/large_8mrvqvpm-1581212707.jpg","small":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/8mrvqvpm/small_8mrvqvpm-1581212707.jpg","tiny":"https://assets.causes.com/user/avatar/8mrvqvpm/tiny_8mrvqvpm-1581212707.jpg","facebook":"https://graph.facebook.com/724966854372469/picture"},"links":{"following":"/api/users/8mrvqvpm/following","followers":"/api/users/8mrvqvpm/followers"},"about_me":"You may have to confront the risk, the possibility, of your own death.

The Stoics believed that when we’re confronted with our own mortality, and grasp its implications, that can change our perspective on life quite dramatically. Any of us could die at any moment. Life doesn’t go on forever.
