That would literally leave us wide open to military and terrorist threats. It's like living in the bad part of New Orleans, leaving your door wide open, and going to bed.
Both of those agencies need a housecleaning, but just disbanding them is national suicide.
Name 2 genuine foreign terrorist plots the FBI has stopped.
Just 2.

The standard fear-mongering of a deep-state troll. If the CIA has an office that directs narrative-building and propaganda on blogs, you would be a prime candidate.
No offense, but I know some about this.
I have seen US domestic surveillance, which is most likely run by CIA, under the guise of a training operation. It has been expanded to a satellite operation in probably 97% of neighborhoods, where local cells “practice” recruiting informant networks. When I put together my website, I got surveillance moved into the house next door, very quickly.
I can tell you, 100%, zero doubt, there is zero chance this surveillance machine, which I see every day, was not all over the 9/11 hijackers, and knew exactly what they were in the country for, and how to stop it. It actively looks for things that are unusual, and has plenty of resources to throw at anything. I get followed on every grocery trip.
Before all is said and done, America is going find out that the biggest effort our NatSec machinery engaged in with respect to 9/11 was quashing the FBI agents who were spurred to frantic action by James Woods.
Somebody in that machinery at least wanted 9/11, and made sure it happened.
Claims are made that we only know about the attempts were they failed to protect the U.S., but we never hear about their successes. So, they failed twice and they had an incalculable number of successes. So, how can you be sure that they had any success at all?
We have a southern border that is even less effective than a sieve where who knows is entering this country and what their intentions are. In fact, we are not even sure how many have entered illegally. That furthermore, allows in massive quantities of drugs that kill our citizens, and produce 100s of thousands of non productive beings who present nothing more than threats to productive citizens.
We know for certain that they have too much power, with very little oversight or control. But somehow they should continue to operate because we believe, but can't be certain, that they may have stopped some attacks.
Sorry, but I fail to see any logic, let alone critical thinking that even comes close to justifying their existence. I am unable to even ask you to show me some proof that they are needed, because you admittedly know of nothing due to secrecy.
Oh, and Brian Griffin, classification of documents lies with the president, period. I know that Never-Trumpers like yourself are upset by that fact, but that is the fact nonetheless.
