It's hard to believe the Justice Department would even THINK that they should be allowed to investigate their own office in this case.

UNBELIEVABLE!

Aren't there any REAL lawyers in the Justice Department?

Haven't they EVER heard of "Conflict of Interest" before?

How can the government possibly expect to find out exactly why the tapes were destroyed or who exactly told the CIA it was alright to destroy the tapes if the Justice Department is doing the investigation and they are part of the cover up and told the CIA to destroy the tapes?
