And I said I was taking no position on the Strozk texts.


How an experienced FBI agent puts such statements in writing is beyond me. But yeah, actually, I don't really question the decision of the Dept of Justice not to release inflammatory, piecemeal info, out of context when the ultimate finding by the IG was: those statements were wrong and should potentially be disciplined, but such politics did not impact the investigation or its findings. I would leave that call to them, and it looks like their final report was very exhaustive in its scope. I would oppose no transparency, but resisting piecemeal disclosures in a highly politically charged environment is perfectly reasonable.

Similarly, I wouldn't be happy with piecemeal disclosures of the conditions these kids are in. There should be full disclosure.

Congress needs to have full transparency where 1000s of young children in US custody under very difficult circumstances are concerned. Demanding that is simply good governance and isn't impugning the reputation of anyone or any institution. Bear minimum checks and balances under our Constitution.
