I’m going to have to call BS on that. Look at so many of their cases, more or less, entrapment. Look at what they did at Ruby Ridge. Look at what they did in Waco. Look at the FBI Crime Lab Scandal. Lets take a recent look at the case of Lavoy Finicum and the coverup by the FBI HRT. Lets take a look at what happened in Garland, Texas and how the agent told the perps to “burn it to the ground”, I believe, and then fled the scene when the shooting started.
They have a long and sordid history, dating back to the beginning with Hoover. You see, they are the ones that have oversight over every other agency. They don’t have anyone watching them. It supposed to be the DOJ, but as we’ve learned they’re in collusion to get what they want.
DHS was never supposed to be an armed, investigative branch of the government. It was supposed to be a clearing house, where representatives from all the federal law enforcement and intel agencies could de-conflict, share information and work together. But, as with anything the feds do, it grew into a behemoth without a clear mandate other than, Homeland Security. Well, now that they are here to stay, might as well make them do more than assist local law enforcement or walk around airports.
There is not one single thing that the FBI does that isn’t already being done by another federal agency. And, those agencies tend to do it better as they have very clear mandates, whereas the FBI has many.
Let the ones that can retire, retire. Let the rest, after the entire agency is defunded, apply for jobs with the other agencies with no preference given. If they don’t want to do that and just want to finish out a few more years to collect their retirement, let them learn Spanish, give them a green uniform and put them on the border.
Long post but: :)
I don’t agree with your assessment about DHS. It was sold to us as a way to coordinate intelligence agencies, but I believe in my heart the real purpose was to install the coming police state.

The FBI, the other Congressional institutions, most of DC has become an empire onto its own. It does not represent USA, e.g., We-The-People, it represents those who control it. I.e., enemies of USConstitution, foreign and domestic.
We have expanded armed SWAT units and armed personnel in non military government to the level that, combined, they outnumber the Marine Corps.
