<p>The FBI director gets a failing grade from the Justice Department
</p>
<p> Federal Bureau of Investigation Director William Sessions is
called "the Emperor" by the G-men who work for him. A scathing
161-page report by the Justice Department makes clear why.
Sessions, the report says, "systematically abused his security
detail" by dispatching it on errands or bumping it from FBI
planes to make room for his wife Alice. Former Attorney General
William Barr ordered Sessions to pay back taxes for using his
chauffeured limousine for commuting to the office and to refund
nearly $10,000 for a wooden fence installed by the agency around
his house. At a 90-minute Saturday press conference, Sessions
defended his record and blamed the report on "an animus, an
anger, an animosity by Mr. Barr for Mr. Sessions."
