Bad idea..this is how the DOJ, FBI and IRS were used to target political enemies…

Agreed. This sounds like a solution in search of a problem – a typical political response of passing a new law or amending an old one. The GBI cannot keep up with its current duties and work load. Why not hire more GBI personnel and provide them with them better equipment and facilities to perform their current duties and work load?
