The FIB seems to be the political enforcement arm of our communists in the deep state.

[Fido969]

The FBI has completely failed as a crime fighting organization, they are a bunch of clowns. The only thing they do now is spy on Americans and act as a police force of the Democrat party. They are irredeemable.

[MinorityRepublican]

My proposal is too build the new FBI headquarters in Southside Chicago.

[Bullish]

I'd say the FBI $hit all over themselves with their conniptic reaction to Donald J. Trump. They'll never recover the respect of the American people.

[FreeReign]

And to think, the Dems want to federalize our local police.

[drypowder]

the criminals in charge of the US Government have nothing to fear except the armed US citizens who are patriots. Stands to reason why the DC criminals are initiating a war on the American patriot class, patriots are the DC commies worst enemy and the DC criminals aren’t going to stop until all American patriots are disarmed and in jail. That is the long and the short of what the overthrow of America is all about. No more freedom for anybody outside of the Wealth Club Elite.

...keep the accused behind bars awaiting trials that won’t start until late this year or perhaps even 2022; dozens have been held for months in a D.C. jail that specifically houses January 6 defendants.

American Gulag Archipelago

[McGavin999]

When I read history about the Jews in Germany and the Russian during the revolution, I couldn’t understand why they were so docile. Now I know. They trusted people who were so vile they should never have been trusted.

I don’t want to hear about “the good guys” because if there were really good guys left in these agencies they could never participate in this mockery of justice. I think for those of us who looked up to them, who had faith in them, it’s even harder and our revulsion is greater than those who saw them clearly.

“Republicans need to abandon their longtime, reflexive loyalty to the FBI.”

Are there really still people like that? We all can get stuck in the past, but my goodness.

[43north]

Is that moron sean hannity still claiming that “99% of the FBI rank and file are good, patriotic Americans”?

[PGalt]

I talked to some agents after the 6th. They came to my house. They were courteous and respectful. (thanks JB) not all individuals in the collective are bad, but many could be. Depends on the situation.

[digger48]

Anybody who thinks the FIB has always been incorruptible, hasn’t paid attention to its 113 year history

[ConservativeInPA]

I think if our Founding Fathers saw what the FBI and other TLA security agencies have become that they would say, "I told you so." There were significant arguments made by the Founders about whether to have a standing army. That came from the perspective of what a standing army could do to citizens of the new republic. They had just gone through decades of abuse by the British military prior to the Revolutionary War. At that time, the British military served two purposes. 1.) To wage war and provide defense to the British Empire, and 2.) to act as a spy agency and police force in the British colonies throughout the world.

Interestingly, there are direct lines from parliament's acts to the Bill of Rights. For instance, the Quartering Act goes towards the 3rd Amendment. Have you ever thought about why the 3rd Amendment is number three and not nine or ten? It was that important to our Founders. Our Founders fears were not so much about having soldiers living in our homes and eating our food, but that the soldiers would spy on behalf of government. The information gleaned by soldiers would then be used to prosecute subjects in the colonies. Our Founders followed up with the 4th Amendment because it was that important. The threat wasn't just in our homes, but everywhere we travel.

Think about all the government agencies geared toward collecting "intelligence" on American citizens. (By the way, they are citizens not criminals at that point.) They may not necessarily enter our homes, but there reach is much further than even 50 years ago and certainly more so than at the time of our founding. To our Founders, it was the behavior that revolted them, not the military, per se. It just happened that arguments against this behavior was exemplified by a standing army. If King George sent police to the colonies for the same purpose, they would have been equally loathed and the same arguments would have been made.

Now take a look at the physical make up of the FBI and other agencies. They are not Andy Griffith and Barney Fife with his revolver and one bullet in his pocket. They are paramilitary organizations with weapons, armored vehicles, tanks, aircraft, drones and bombs. They are completely capable of waging war on American citizens. Their disposition is not setup to fight foreign wars. It is to fight a war on American citizens.

The FBI, internal spy agencies and other federal law enforcement agencies have become a standing army, not in the defense of our Republic but an offense to its citizens. They need to be eliminated and never reconstituted. Law enforcement needs to be on the local level.

[joma89]

Agreed. The fbi is just the personal army of the democrat party.

[MachIV]

The FBI use to go after communists.....now......it is run by Communists

[sergeantdave]

And now for something completely different:

The FBI has about 32,000 personnel. Of that number, 2,500 are field agents. The remainder are weenie paper pushers.

[BAN-ONE]

Where have you gone, Eliot Ness?
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you..

[Ransomed]

The FBI budget is around 9 billion with 35,000 or so employees they deign to admit having. Can’t really see anything happening to it at this point. That’s a 9 billion dollar dug in tick. It was probably too late 50+ years ago to do anything about any of the alphabet agencies, which basically function as guardians of the bureaucratic establishment empire in DC.

It’s hard to picture any modern politician getting rid of any alphabet agency or even reducing the budgets in the era of the 24 news cycle in any case.

[eeriegeno]

FBI = gestapo

[RckyRaCoCo]

These alphabet gov. agencies are there to serve and protect...

...the American Bolshevik Revolution from anything/anyone outing them.
