New mission will be persecuting conservative tea party types and returning veterans.

Just wait until the mission creep changes to “political orthodoxy.” /S

Ha, to think congress was worried it was just the NSA spying on them.

Sure we do— DHS is the department of immigration representation and NASA is the department of muzzie outreach.

I thought national security was the job of National Security.

No, their job is to read everybody's e-mails and FaceButt pages and watch porn on the taxpayer's dime..............

My bet is that there is a much more base reason for this — if an agency has “national security” in its mission, it probably has a better chance of getting more taxpayer $$$$$ out of Congress or under some budgetary rules, or perhaps even gets an ability to shield part of its budget from scrutiny.

If the “primary mission” is National Security, then why do we need TWO National Security Agencies, FBI and NSA?
Let’s get rid of the redundant one.

Unfortunately “national security” does not include stopping Chechen bombers.

Instead, in means keeping an eye on those evvviiill conservatives.

No, no, no...the effin’ bee eye are farmers!

They tend large crops of special astroturf terrorists that they specially harvest to hand the propagandist media stories that can be squealed and fawned over.

It also gives government cover for governments endless expansion, expense and greed.

So tell me again who’s in charge of law enforcement now? I can handle my own neighborhood but that leaves the rest of you on your own?

As predicted by The Sopranos. Not enough bandwith to chase Tony’s crew and AQ at the same time.

Hell, we already have the Central Intelligence Agency, State Department Security, Army, Navy and Air Force Security, Dept. of Energy Security, the Defense Intelligence Agency and probably a dozen I’m forgetting.

Well, at least their new primary mission isn’t to make muslims feel good about themselves like NASA’s primary mission.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

Whatever the FIB wants us to think it is now, it was never what was depicted on the TV back when.

You really have to hand it to ol' J. Edgar. He was the face of the FBI and probably 90% of the American people believed every word he said, even if it was an out-and-out lie. E.g., there's no such thing as la Cosa Nostra.

He even had certain members of the Hollywood set licking his faggy boots:
