What Are the FBI and Department of Justice?

聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局無(wú)視司法部警告宣布重新調(diào)查希拉里電郵門(mén)

The reopening of an FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's email has raised questions about whether the action could influence the U.S. presidential election.

美國(guó)聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局重新開(kāi)始調(diào)查希拉里·克林頓(Hillary Clinton)的電子郵件,這引發(fā)了人們對(duì)該行動(dòng)是否會(huì)影響美國(guó)總統(tǒng)選舉的質(zhì)疑。

Last week, FBI Director James Comey announced the agency was reviewing a new set of emails recently discovered. The emails could be important to an investigation into Clinton's email practices that was closed earlier this year. Hillary Clinton is the Democratic candidate for president.

上周,聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局局長(zhǎng)詹姆斯·科米(James Comey)宣布該機(jī)構(gòu)正在檢查最近發(fā)現(xiàn)的一系列新的電子郵件。這些電子郵件可能對(duì)今年早些時(shí)候結(jié)束的希拉里電郵門(mén)調(diào)查非常重要。希拉里是民主黨總統(tǒng)候選人。

The FBI director reportedly acted on his own to announce the reopened investigation, after being warned by officials at the U.S. Department of Justice not to. The officials reportedly told Comey that informing Congress about the new material was not in line with department policy.

據(jù)報(bào)道,聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局局長(zhǎng)科米無(wú)視司法部警告自作主張宣布重新開(kāi)始調(diào)查。據(jù)報(bào)道,司法部官員告訴科米,向國(guó)會(huì)通報(bào)這些新材料不符合部門(mén)政策。

The incident raises questions about the relationship between the Justice Department and FBI, and how the two agencies cooperate. The FBI generally conducts investigations for the Justice Department, which is responsible for enforcing the laws and administering justice.

這起事件引發(fā)了人們對(duì)司法部和聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局之間的關(guān)系以及這兩家機(jī)構(gòu)如何合作的質(zhì)疑。聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局一般為司法部進(jìn)行調(diào)查,司法部負(fù)責(zé)執(zhí)法和司法。

Beginnings in 1908

它也是由16家機(jī)構(gòu)組成的美國(guó)情報(bào)部門(mén)的成員之一。這些機(jī)構(gòu)單獨(dú)或合作從事跟美國(guó)外交關(guān)系以及國(guó)家安全有關(guān)的情報(bào)活動(dòng)。

聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局負(fù)責(zé)調(diào)查分配給其探員的具體犯罪。它還向其它執(zhí)法機(jī)構(gòu)提供指紋識(shí)別服務(wù)、實(shí)驗(yàn)室檢查以及培訓(xùn)工作。

The U.S. president appoints a director for the agency. Barack Obama appointed James Comey in 2013. The appointment takes effect if the U.S. Senate confirms it. FBI directors can serve as long as ten years, but no longer.

The FBI website describes the bureau as "an intelligence-driven and threat-focused national security organization with both intelligence and law enforcement responsibilities." Its mission is to "protect the American people and uphold the United States Constitution."

聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局網(wǎng)站稱該局是“一家以情報(bào)為主導(dǎo)、以威脅為著眼點(diǎn)的國(guó)家安全組織,兼具情報(bào)和執(zhí)法責(zé)任。”該機(jī)構(gòu)的使命就是“保護(hù)美國(guó)人民,維護(hù)美國(guó)憲法。”

The Department of Justice website says the main goal of the agency is to "enforce the law and defend the interest of the United States according to the law."
