Lets the Department of Justice watchdog fully investigate all agency employees.

This bill would remove current limits on the Department of Justice's Inspector General, allowing them to investigate all Department of Justice personnel without previous exceptions. This means the agency's internal watchdog would have full authority to look into any allegations involving agency employees.

What Would Change
