The FBI has been corrupt in the sense of being politically biased and acting on its bias for years and really reached peak corruption under Obama. But leaving aside the recent stuff, even starting with Hoover (who was a political fanatic in the opposite direction), its tactics have been of dubious constitutionality and even of dubious legality: blackmail, anyone? or perhaps you’d prefer an agent provocateur.
It needs to have its legitimate investigatory duties spun off, say to the DOJ, and its other powers handed over to the US Marshalls or some other established and non-political law enforcement agency.
The FBI has 35,000 employees and almost 9 billion dollars yearly budget...Nothing is going to happen to change that culture, in my opinion.
The campaign contributions of federal employees supposedly went 95% to Hillary Clinton for the 2016 election. Employees of the Department of Justice gave Clinton 97 percent of their donations.
