I disagree. At least some FBI agents have done great things fighting sex trafficking of minors DESPITE the ruling Democrat party’s fondness for molesting children.
Hollywood does glorify this rotten group but that’s about it.
They’re all right-wing extremists./sarc

“The entire FBI needs to be shuttered and all employees of the FBI should be banned from future government employment.”

You realize, do you not?, that you just damned the FBI by faint praise.
Dr. Bret Weinstein has made the same point. (If people who resist unethical orders leave or get pushed out, the only ones left are those who would obey unethical orders.)
A slight correction makes this better:
I truly believe that the vast majority of all government employees work not for the American citizen, but for their own agencies.
The only time I actually caused an outburst of apoplectic anger from a supervisor is when , in response to his question, ‘Just who do you think you work for?’ I told him we all ultimately work for the taxpayers who pay our salaries. The rage was really palpable. When he calmed down a bit he shouted”You GD well better know you work for who signs your annual appraisal, smart ass”
Case in point, immigration and control of our border has a decades long history of abject failure. This has allowed sex and drug trafficking. The FBI cleans up part of that mess. Someone needs to clean up part of that mess. It might as well be local law enforcement where we have a better chance at controlling corruption and uncontrolled abuse of power..
When have you heard anyone at the FBI ever complain about the government caused invasion at our southern border? You haven’t and there is a reason. They fully know if the root of the problem was fixed, they would go from being so-called heroes to not being needed.
Fixing government requires some very basic things. Each government agency, board, and commission needs its function evaluated against the powers enumerated in the constitution. If such a power does not exist, then that entity is eliminated. Then the remaining parts of government need to meet their missions as prescribed by law, and only that. For the life of me I cannot find anywhere in the US Constitution that gives Congress the power to establish the FBI. Perhaps that’s the reason why our nation existed so long before there was the FBI and has declined so much since the formation of the FBI. Note: it’s not solely the FBI’s fault for America’s decline. It is all the massive expansion of government since the early 20th century and the acceleration in growth. It is a progressive, big government mindset.
I want to be very clear. There are no good FBI agents. These whistleblowers are only coming forth after the fact to save their own pathetic asses. They have been complicit in their silence for years.
Save their asses from what? No one is going to be prosecuted except maybe the whistleblowers themselves.
The Stasi.
I agree but current jurisprudence has interpreted the General Welfare Clause, the Commerce Clause and the 14th Amendment to cover virtually any activity or condition in existence. For instance, the Environmental Protection Agency and its enabling act are permitted under the General Welfare Clause.
Why didn’t they come out while Comey was doing this nonsense?
(Folks who want to still have a job after the purge.)

You understand what happens to useful idiots... Now let’s hope enough people in the FBI also realize that - and that we’re running out of time.
