Why aren’t they asking the obvious question: And the fbi and doj, which this Republic went without for well over a century, is authorized by what part of the constitution?
There is no cleaning. They are all bad. It must be eliminated — the republic has no need of a national police force.
How do you clean out something that has become a piece of poop so to speak?
The Democrats fund Big Government Schools.
The Republicans fund Big Government Law Enforcement.
That’s how far we are away from the country the Founders gave us.
Defunding is cleaning it out.
There comes a time when it is cheaper to make a payment on new car rather than fixing the old one.
Burn it down
Burn it to the ground
Burn the ground.
Sell the charcoal.
I would rather eliminate it with many other alphabet agencies. Cleaning it out will just not work in real life. Sounds great on paper. Won’t happen in real life.
RE: Defunding is cleaning it out.
So, how do you proposed to Defund?
Mass layoffs? Cut the budget by 50%? Rename the Bureau (like the Soviet KGB became the Russian FSB )? How?
RE: I would rather eliminate it with many other alphabet agencies.
What happens to the legitimate ongoing investigations when you eliminate it altogether?
What are these legitimate ongoing investigations of which you speak?
Abolish the agency.
Do that by defunding it.
Not as concerned about that over eliminating the corrupt agencies that cannot be reformed in real life. Hand them off to their respective state-level police agencies. Every state has state-level police agencies and also their own versions of state fbi orgs.
Yes. That is the price for getting rid of the 99.9% of cases that are politically motivated.
Plenty of retired LEOs out there who left big-city departments out of disgust at the politicians and their administrations.
Imagine an FBI full of principled, experienced and street-smart agents who don’t really need the money and are willing to tell their bosses to f-off.
It would be fitting to make it go "POOF!!!" by Executive Order as well.
That's defunding, cold turkey.
Clowns In America, too...
RE: Yes. That is the price for getting rid of the 99.9% of cases that are politically motivated.
So, Fentanyl dealers don’t get investigated? Terrorists like the 9/11 plotters are ignored? You’re willing to risk that?
And let’s say your answer is “Yes I am.”. Is there a plan to create another FBI? Or should this be the responsibility of individual states from now on?
Nope. Defund!
Close it down. Let only the most necessary federal policing continue—and hand that over to the US Marshals Service.

A very lovely thought. But how do you achieve this utopia?
RE: Close it down. Let only the most necessary federal policing continue
What are the attributes of the “most necessary Federal policing”?
