FBI can’t be reformed they have corruption in their DNA. It needs to be dismantled.
This.
The bureaucracy is too big at this point. It needs to be totally dismantled. Unfortunately that will never happen. The FBI will exist in its current form until the great collapse. Then they can be dealt with.
You start solving real problems by opening up the books, putting people with integrity in positions where they can make a difference, and kicking bad people to the curb or put them in jail. The swamp has clearly shown it won't allow that. It won't even allow guilty verdicts within DC juries.
It's not a problem that's too big to fix, but the solution has to be at least as big as the post-9/11 reorganization that resulted in the ODNI and the DHS and it has to effectively address the problem of trying to solve a DC problem with DC judges, DC bureaucrats, DC lawyers and DC juries who all attend the same cocktail parties and put their kids in the same private schools and don't see any of what has been going on as a problem.
Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.JFTR, the FBI is not in the US Constitution. Infiltration by left-wing radicals is certainly part of its being discredited; it would have to be a massive amount of reform before it became an entity feared by the left again, and that certainly isn’t going to happen any time soon.
— Communist goal #35
One first day, have Trump walk over to DOJ and demand the keys! Think about that. “Departments” are part of the executive office - congresses only function is funding.
All furloughed employees - including to secretary must reapply and a team of outside tough procecuters reviews the apps.
Hire Hillary to do one of those famous 1000 box charts she did for goverment takeover of health care.
</sarcasm>
Here’s my one step plan to reform the FBI.
1. Close it.
The FBI is done.
An agency that sends massive teams of men to terrorize Enemies of the Regime, conspires to overthrow the elected President, dreams up entrapment schemes to protect favored politicians, the list is endless - is over with.
No sane Republican is going to let them continue to exist under these conditions, and no contrite “mistakes were made” apologies should be accepted.
They are DONE.
( But don’t worry Deep State lovers. There’s still lotsa Intel gangsters out there “saving our democracy” by destroying it. You can still get a job terrorizing your political enemies. Just say the magic words on your clearance forms! “I voted for the Communists in the last election. It was well intentioned, but I won’t do it again until The Party is in power” )
The reform suggested above is reasonable. I would fire, disbar (likely all lawyers that signed off!) and possibly prosecute everyone who signed off on the political repression actions.
Two more big things
1. Disband the DC based CI unit. It's the source of almost all the ‘political actions’ - for example the ‘Russia Russia dossier’. It was set up to fight the KGB. (There's an old saying which goes something like - you become what you hate!) From the beginning it was allowed to take ‘liberties’ with civil liberty because of who its primary opponents were. Set up a federal CI agency that can only investigate and must go through and meet the standards of the US Attorneys and work with local LEOs to arrest. Basically, like how MI-5 operates they only investigate and must meet crown attorney standards and must use a Scotland Yard ‘special branch’ to arrest.
2. End the “process crime trap!” - known as lying to the FBI! All FBI interviews must be recorded, and copies left with the interviewees. Likewise, any notes taken by the interviewing agent. All must be discoverable by the defendant's attorneys. If not done THE INTERVIEW DID NOT HAPPEN! THEN THE AGENT AND SUPERVISOR ARE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINE, CRIMINAL AND POSSIBLY CIVIL PENALTIES.
Almost all the FBI problems stem from this! Just ask General Flynn!
Welcome to Free Republic.
A good, well thought out post.
Something tells me you have inside information or close contact with the FIBbies. At the very least deep knowledge of the workings.
Unfortunately the bureau has been corrupt from Day One, Hoover made sure of that. It doesn’t need reforming...it needs an enema. A LARGE one.
Your plan sounds like a great opening salvo.
Big time on your #2.
The fact that interviews are NOT recorded, and the agent’s notes are all that result, is insanity in the modern world. We require our street cops to run dash cams and body cams, and fire them if they “malfunction” or fail to get turned on too often. But somehow the Feebs are immune from this basic oversight? Oh heck no!
They just followed orders like good concentration camp guards do.
Befehl ist befehl.
How about dissolve the agency. Prosecute current management and anyone with even a hint of impropriety in the ranks. Hand over all functions to the Marshal Service. The cherry on top would be to invalidate all FBI pensions.
The DOJ “might” be salvageable. I do not believe he FBI is.
The citizens of this country have assumed that we would have a good, moral President.
We don’t.
The citizens of this country have assumed that our good, moral President would appoint someone who is good and moral to be the Director of The FBI.
Wrong on two counts.
People are clever.
They find ways around rules.
We have to demand good, moral people be the leaders of our governments.
Otherwise, it’s everyone for themselves and the Democrats go down when their lackeys figure that out.
Why is lying to an FBI agent a crime?
You forgot POLYGRAPH every single agent and supervisor on the question of partisan corruption.
If the Congress can vote and have all the US Marine embassy guards in the world polygraphed after Moscow Station, they can darn sure polygraph every FBI agent.
Split it in half and have them compete with each other. Monopolies are detrimental to private industry and government agencies.
Move the entire force to Nome, AK. Nice office, land phone, cot, no internet. Go at it.
13?
I need ONE: Fire All of Them!
Excellent list.
14. Remove all funding to the FBI. Then defund the CIA.
15. Increase local police departments 300%.
