The FBI must be abolished. It is designed to ruin the lives of dissidents, and cannot be reformed.

Classic Ron. This looks from his '88 run for president.
Prescient or what? Did anyone here vote for him in '88?
Before or after the CIA?
Trump will have to be very decisive in regards to the DOJ and FBI not to mention the CIA.
Suspensions, removal from jobs emergency powers if needed judges not allowed to allow the Feds to continue to suppress liberties.
Otherwise he will not be able to govern it will be Mr. Trump’s choice whether he really wants to accomplish the task of increasing personal liberty in this country.
The economy will be dealt with I am sure of that no one stands in the way of Liberal Capitalism but...
Ron Paul can say it. Can Rand? Think about it.
Was it in response to Waco?
The federal government shouldn’t have its own police force
Indeed.
The trolls will pounce.
But actions are needed the other side of the election can’t repeat what happened in the first Trump term.
D FBI should be abolished, very crooked government organization.
Rand doesn’t say it because he doesn’t want to frighten suburban moms who fear kidnap /s
His votes tell the story though
I have only heard Vivek say that. Rand now copying Vivek ?
Ron I mean
No friend this is Ron in 1988 I think.
"CLASSIC Ron Paul: The FBI Must Be Abolishedl"
US actually needs a new patriot-run FBI that will do the following. The FBI will investigate only alleged violations of federal laws that are reasonably based on federal government constitutionally enumerated powers, red-flagging laws that are questionable. Also investigate alleged violations of 12th Amendment (12A; electoral vote rules), Section 2 of 14th Amendment (14A), a ballot box fraud penalty, also alleged state violations of Section 1 of that amendment.
Excerpted from 12A:
"The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate [emphasis added];--The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;--The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; ..."
Excerpted from 14A:
"Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Consider the zero tolerance "hair triggers" of Section 2 of 14A.
"is denied to any"
"or in any way abridged,"
"14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced [emphases added] in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
In fact, the Congressional Budget Office needs to publicly sound the alarm within 24 hours whenever Congress passes an appropriations bill that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, an abuse of Congress's repealable 16th Amendment powers.
"16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
"Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time [emphasis added]."
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
