"placing a “sundowning” time on EVERY Federal agency institutionally helps gets rid of their bureaucratic and administrative baggage which ALWAYS evolves, given enough time, to protect pensions, salaries and retirement at the expense of virtually every other priority, including for most, their initial Congressional mandate"

I agree with everything you wrote -- BUT, how do we maintain the (proper) critical functions of those organizations while we "drain the swamp"?

I recommend you read this post of mine from another thread -- that begins to address rebuilding the FBI. That answer isn't complete -- but it begins to address the issues of "Cleansing and Rebuilding" the FBI, with which I'm somewhat familiar.

Of course, major impediments to drastic "axe" action are Civil Service and union barriers to firing "deadwood"...

When we've dumped swampcritter Wray, the top of the FBI will be pretty well "gutted" of swampcritters.

Next, we have to rebuild the functions --- but not by hiring more swampcritters "from within the ranks"-- as we did with Wray.

Any ideas?

Perhaps the first step should be "revisiting" the EO that established Federal Employee Unions. Then audit all of the unions for payoffs/kickbacks to political figures past and present.

(That should really kick over a hornets' nest....)
