Agreed. The FBI is the swamp. Once that monster has been tamed, politicians will watch their step again.

FBI, and the entire DOJ are all from the same chord.

The FBI is just the beginning. There will be no meaningful prosecutions until the DOJ is brought under control.

Nothing is going to open to any of these people in a strictly legal sense, anyway.

They’ve all gotten away with it and the Overton Window continues its inexorable slide towards tyranny.

Nobody is going to "drain" the FBI. Obama forever politicized it. It was the last step. They got the children. They got the media. They got the internet. They got the administrative state. And now they got the FBI. America as we knew it is over.

Hunker down and wait for Christ.

Close the FBI and replace with a fangless group. Cut the CIA and start to fire bureaucrats left and right.

The FBI, yes, but if the DOJ refuses to prosecute corrupt democRats then you’ve only solved half the problem.

Yes, need to replace the top two floors of the FBI at least. Here’s some off the cuff ideas:

Disband the Washington office. There can be a small office in DC but not the HQ. Move them to Kansas.

Take the FBI away from the Justice Dept. If you think about most cities and states the police are independent from the prosecutors. The police do their job, pass the information to the prosecutors and then the prosecutors make their own decisions about the case. Let the FBI focus on investigations they develop internally or by reports of crimes and pass their info on to the DOJ like every other law enforcement agency does. Make them independent.

Then, give the DOJ appointees a fixed term like the FBI director has, so they too so they too can be independent from the politics.

It got politicized before Obama. It was probably always politicized - back when Hoover ran it he toyed with politicians. Hillary, it seems to me, somehow turned the tables when she got her hands on some 1000 FBI files on politicians and other major political players. She probably earned off that information, and also whomever got her those files probably got promoted or fast tracked to higher positions.

Yep!
Step One, Defund the following agencies:

FBI
DOJ
Dept of Energy
Dept of Education
Dept of Gender Equity
Homeland Security
EVERYTHING but what is constitutionally mandated and then trim their budgets to the bone.

After seeing what’s going on in Arizona (amongst others), better starting cleaning house in the entire Judiciary system.

The FBI’s Counter-intelligence unit, which is responsible for Secret/Top-Secret clearance investigations and is the gatekeeper to all Federal employment. Particularly, FBI, Military, CIA, etc employment, and is where the leftists have created a department, within a department which decides who gets a job and who doesn’t by denial/approval of a background investigation. Only through control of this section, will control of the swamp be possible.
