Is the FBI the final authority/

I find it curious and a little scary that when the media questions Hilary's defenders about the outcome of the FBI decision not to press charges, her defenders are adamant that "the decision has already been made" or the" FBI did not have evidence for criminal intent".
You can almost hear the heavy sighs and condescending tones "why can't you leave this alone, we're so tired of repeating this, the decision has been made, how dare you question their decision ..."
But putting politics aside, what irritates me about these defenders is that we should be so gullible, that we should swallow this hook, line, and sinker. That we should believe that the FBI and DOJ is infallible, not capable of being wrong, that we should give them the ultimate respect, sovereignty, all powerful. They give the last word. End of subject. Door closed.
This really isn't about guilt or innocents of Hilary Clinton. This is about insinuating that an institution of fallible humans shouldn't be questioned. That it is the model of reliance.
I can think of historical events where people put all their faith in an institution with disastrous results.
The FBI is made up of human beings who are fallible, capable of being wrong, tempted by bribes, or threatened. Just because the FBI gave it's ruling are we to question it no more? What do you think?

I share your and hundreds of millions of Americans' frustration regarding their fellow Americans' lack of knowledge and saturated in ignorance into obscurity; and then, letting Clinton get away with lie after lie and corruption.
There is One greater and Higher Justice.
