As FBI Director, he absolutely had the authority to direct those staffers to do that. He was an OCA, he could do that. This case is garbage on procedure and on substance.

⚡️'Putin's paranoia' — New air defenses appear around Russian president's Valdai residence, analysis shows. The defensive perimeter extends to the Khotilovo military base, which serves as an alternate landing site, and a secret biological laboratory on Lisiy Island, according to RFE/RL.

I hope none of you are using silicon ice trays or baking molds. I bought some ice trays and suddenly I couldn't sleep right, couldn't eat right, and spent most of my time coughing up thick phlegm.
