The FBI has the resources to closely follow and investigate a popular singer, but, doesn't seem to be able to investigate an openly corrupt candidate for high judicial office, nor one for high elective office, nor, be able to apprehend someone who has stolen numerous highly classified national security documents.

OK. very good. I guess they will just march around wearing their little "Junior G-Man" badges and their mommies will be so proud of them.
