Keep FBI's focus

The Times Picayune

This editorial is about Jim Bernazzani, who was the special agent in charge of the FBI in New Orleans. The author talks about how Mr. Bernazzani’s mission was to root out public corruption and oversee high profile probes in the city. While he is known for his great toughness, he was recently reassigned to the Washington post. This came after he publicly stated interest in running for mayor of New Orleans. The author states that the Hatch Act prohibits any FBI agent from engaging in “partisan political activity.” The author then starts talking about who should replace him and the criteria they should have. This was a very well written article. The author did his research and had facts and interviews to back up his article.

I dont understand about being reassigned to the Washington post. I dont know if the author is talking about the FBI agent or the author himself. It is good that this man Jim wants to stop crime in New Orleans.The author seems knowledabe when he states the criteria the new person is supposed to have.
