If you cannot make the argument that a function of government is best implemented at a local level because you really think that function is important, then you are not a conservative. For instance, you can be very pro education, in fact you can think it is among the most important things for children. You can think it is so important that education should not be interfered with by the federal government and call for the defunding and complete shuttering of the Department of Education, along with the return of complete control at your local school district.

The same thing applies to the FBI. If you really concurrently care about law enforcement and citizens rights, you can call for the complete defunding and shuttering of the FBI, with all law enforcement responsibilities returning to the states and local communities.

Any questions about that? Well, respond with, do you want law enforcement to be local to you or in Washington DC or another place no where near you? Do you want direct control over law enforcement local to you, or some bureaucratic deep state running it? Do you want your local tax dollars to go directly to what your community needs for law enforcement or to have you taxes get washed thru a big machine in Washington and you only see pennies on the dollar in your community.

This has been a non-movable stance in conservatism since Barry Goldwater. America tried it the Democrat and RINO way and failed. We are $32 Trillion in debt and every major federal institution does not work. Every major institution has been politicized and weaponized. So take back control and make things work for your community.

It’s not a difficult argument to make. And for all those crime ridden Democrat cities, they can try all the stuff they dream and talk about without federal interference. They can do it with their own money and maybe quickly realize their crap doesn’t work. Eff’n hang them out to dry.

States responsibility

Drug dealers are probably all working for the FBI. Democrats need their dope and they want children to molest. The FBI serves that constituency.

Until the FBI starts arresting democrats for treason and GUNNING DOWN Antifa and BLM in the street when they riot they get no respect from me. They also need to arrest most of the executive branch including Josef Stolen.

If they don’t do that then disband, fire, terminate and defund them all. And that includes the FBI, CIA, NSA, ATF, ICE.

Burn it down
Burn it to the ground
Burn the ground

.... No matter what terms and semmantics you use ..... This will still translate into ... "Defund the Police and Law Enforcement" to Joe Public via the The Democrat Party Propaganda Machine to be used to the fullest extent this election season.

I agree. It can’t be cleaned up. It can be scrapped and start over or retooled.

Trying to follow the analogy here ... The eggs is the FBI, what is the omelette?

Fire every agent. Revoke pensions of EACH AND EVERY retired agent. Confiscate all their possessions and Impoverish ALL OF THEM. Give them a tent and sleeping bag, then point them to closest homeless encampment and wish them good luck.

They’re not in the Constitution at all. But you knew that.

How do you clean out something that has become a piece of poop so to speak?

The same way you get rid of a foul bowel movement, you wipe wipe wipe...

How long have we been dreaming of reforming the Department of Education, NPR, and PBS?

I say defund totally.

Cut the EPA by 60%, the State Department by 40% and DoD by 15%. Let the survivors know that more funding cuts are possible.

There’s this little entity called the U.S. Marshall service.

FBI has been corrupt from the get-go with Hoover.

Right now there are only two types at the FBI:

a) criminals acting as the Stasi for the regime. These control the agency.

b) opportunists hanging on for a paycheck and pension but who will do what (a) tells them to do.

That's it.

Eliminate it. Fire everyone. Prosecute those deserving of it from field agents to agency heads. Start with a clean slate. Same with many US attorney's offices like SD New York. In the meantime, move the most pressing criminal work to the US Marshalls.

“The inventory shows that 43 empty folders with classified banners were taken from a box or container at the office, along with an additional 28 empty folders labeled as “Return to Staff Secretary” or military aide. Empty folders of that nature were also found in a storage closet.”

What is most disconcerting was the large number of agents used.
