Tensions between the House Homeland Security Committee and the FBI escalated Wednesday, with the agencys decision to skip a hearing on the Boston Marathon bombings drawing sharp criticism and questions from the panel.
The FBI has said it cannot participate in public hearings while the bombing case is open, but lawmakers argued that the bureaus failure to cooperate makes conducting oversight more difficult; and some wondered openly if information-sharing among agencies is deteriorating.
I think the FBI has a lot to explain here, said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y. Im not trying to be a Monday-morning quarterback, but the fact that
they have completely stonewalled us here since the Boston bombing, I think is unacceptable.
The hearing joins other high-profile cases in recent weeksincluding those involving the Internal Revenue Service, the National Security Agency, and the Justice Departmentthat have cast doubt on Congresss ability to oversee federal agencies.
