Read Replies (1) | Respond to Wow. Ignorance is legion in this country. To whit: the FBI reports into the DOJ. The DOJ reports to the Attorney General. The Attorney General is a member of the Cabinet of the President. Trump could order Sessions to fire the head of the FBI, which he did. Comey was fired. Trump could order Sessions to start an investigation into Hillary. He has not done so, but friends on this thread believe he will do so in due time. He has the authority under the law and under the powers of the Presidency to do so. I'm not sure why you don't understand that, but you should do more research into how this country works.whitehouse.gov The Cabinet is an advisory body made up of the heads of the 15 executive departments. Appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, the members of the Cabinet are often the President's closest confidants. In addition to running major federal agencies, they play an important role in the Presidential line of succession — after the Vice President, Speaker of the House, and Senate President pro tempore, the line of succession continues with the Cabinet offices in the order in which the departments were created. All the members of the Cabinet take the title Secretary, excepting the head of the Justice Department, who is styled Attorney General. The DOJ is comprised of 40 component organizations , including the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Marshals, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The Attorney General is the head of the DOJ and chief law enforcement officer of the federal government. The Attorney General represents the United States in legal matters, advises the President and the heads of the executive departments of the government, and occasionally appears in person before the Supreme Court.
