investigate misconduct committed byve the attorney general of th united states.ct who is doing the bidding of the president to undermine our intelligence community. and i trust you take that duty seriously. >> i -- i do. and i'd just like to add that, under the law, under the inspector general act, it carves out for my authority, the ability to look at misconduct by department lawyers from the line lawyer all the l way to the top and the attorney general. >> history has also shown us that the inspector general can participate in an investigation of the attorney general. and that, in fact, happened with general gonzales. do you recall that? >> that happened and go it's worth noting that happened after the attorney general said our office was not going to get the case. it was going to go to the office of professional responsibility. and the choice for our office was whether to join that investigation or not.or but that wasn't initiated through us. that's the important point. the law has to change, senator.
