How about riffing the entire FBI, and substituting U.S. Marshall Service to police elections, handle security clearances etc.?
Same for CIA. Replace them with the military intel agencies. (I don't know enough to see full ramifications of this, but I know having an American "Secret police" MUST STOP if we are to preserve freedom.
We’ve known about the CIA in the United States and CSIS in Canada forever, and we’ve always known what they do. Many countries have such an agency, ostensibly to gather intelligence overseas and conduct covert operations that advance the interests of their homelands. They also enter into secret agreements with each other to spy on the homelands FOR each other (Five Eyes). Human nature being what it is, it isn’t a surprise that organizations that operate primarily covertly will eventually expand their covert operations to the homeland. They all function under some degree of paranoia and the temptation is just too great. It’s the nature of the job.
My thought has always been, remove “arrest authority” from all executive branch/cabinet ‘police forces’ and limit them to investigation alone.
