It will be very interesting to learn what disciplinary actions are undertaken by FBI Director Robert Mueller regarding the "undisclosed number of FBI agents" alleged to have cheated on an important mandatory test ("FBI admits cheating on tests," July 29 and TribLIVE.com). If anyone (including high-ranking elected officials or other prominent individuals) even inadvertently makes a simple mistake in responding to a question from an FBI agent, that person will likely be charged with perjury or other crimes and prosecuted. But when an FBI agent commits an illegal act, it is quite rare for the omnipotent, omniscient FBI to file any formal charges against that agent.
