Republicans in Washington don’t have the stomach for such a battle—but denying the FBI’s
big money grab next year should be a no-brainer. Rewarding the FBI with a half-billion in tax dollars would not just be a slap in the face to Republican voters but also to every victim of the FBI’s shoddy, unaccountable practices. Will Republicans now find the backbone to partially reign in this rogue agency? Sadly, the answer probably is no.
