The Washington, D.C.-based Federal Bureau of Investigation has lost all credibility as a disinterested investigatory agency. Now we learn from a whistleblower that the agency was allegedly investigating moms and dads worried about the teaching of critical race theory in their kids' schools.
In truth, since 2015, the FBI has been constantly in the news - and mostly in a negative and constitutionally disturbing light.
The fired former Director James Comey injected himself into the 2016 political race by constantly editorializing on his ongoing investigation of candidate Hillary Clinton's email leaks.
In a bizarre twist, the public learned later that Comey had allowed Hillary Clinton's own private computer contractor - CrowdStrike - to run the investigation of the hack. The private firm was allowed to keep possession of pertinent hard drives central to the investigation. How odd that CrowdStrike's point man was Shawn Henry, a former high-ranking FBI employee.
During the Robert Mueller special investigation, the FBI implausibly claimed it had no idea how requested information on FBI cell phones had mysteriously disappeared.
It was also under Comey's directorship that the FBI submitted inaccurate requests for warrants to a FISA court. Elements of one affidavit to surveil Trump supporter Carter Page were forged by FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who later pleaded guilty to a felony.
The FBI hired the disreputable ex-British spy Christopher Steele as a contractor, while he was peddling his fantasy - the Clinton-bought dossier - to Obama government officials and the media.

There, I fixed it.
I think that the FBI was better run by Hoover than anyone since.
Hoover was only interested in Hoover.
He did not care who was in the White House as long as he had dirt on them and the leverage to keep them from interfering in wha he wanted to do.
He ran the FBI as his own kingdom. He wanted good press coverage for his kingdom. So, he made sure he got his man.
The Department of Justice, The CIA, The FBI and all other Federal investigative sources should be disband and turned over to the U S Marshall Services.
The agency confiscated his electronic devices on the grounds that he had knowledge of the contents of the allegedly lurid missing diary of Joe Biden's daughter. The FBI - an apparent retrieval service of lost Biden family embarrassments
Why is it that no one in the press ask the question: What Federal crime is the justification for this search warrant?
What interest does the FBI have in this diary?
The possible theft of a diary is at best petty theft. That is at best a misdemeanor at the state level.
Most local police departments would take a complaint and file a report and forget about it.
The FBI spend a hundred thousand dollars staging a SWAT raid and press event, all the while violating the rights of a citizen.
No. Next question.
It’s thoroughly corrupt.
The FBI was doomed the minute they announced J. Edgar Hoover as director. People either forget or do not know what a piece of garbage the sad excuse for a human was.
“There’s no realistic mechanism to get rid of the FBI other than civil war. “
Cut their funding.
“Can the FBI be salvaged?”
No. Fire everyone, implode the buildings, and salt the ground.
Like I’ve been saying - they’re a political goon squad for libtards to attack their opponents using the power of the gov and judicial system.
They’re crooks plain and simple and we all know it.
What should we do with crooks? 🤪
I have posted several times on other links that I believe the FBI should be completely closed down.
Return all enforcement powers to the county sheriffs, Divide the money now paid to the FBI between all of the sheriffs according to a formula devised to fund them fairly according to population, size of county,etc.
Keep the FBI crime lab but appoint a qualified outsider to manage it.
Keep the US Marshals, but never allow them to become another FBI.
This would return law enforcement to the voter.
I mostly agree except the money should be refunded to the taxpayers.
No. Next question.
No. Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to make sure.
No. The FBI was born corrupt, it knows no other way.
The FBI budget is supposedly 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 that knows a bunch of dirty laundry with lots of folks willing to go to the mat to keep it dug in and sucking. 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 in order to keep themselves and their families fed and living well for generations.
It’s hard for me to picture any modern politician getting rid of any alphabet agency or even reducing their budgets in the era of the 24 news cycle and media disaster porn. There’s just too many ways the agency can retaliate.
Freegards
Traitors are a dime a dozen right now.
“There’s no realistic mechanism to get rid of the FBI other than civil war. “
Cut their funding.
There is a way.
Reduce their funding over a five year period to the point that at the end of the five years, the funding is zero.
That gives everyone an opportunity to find a job, the various states to build a locally controlled replacement.
You are correct. My original thinking was to send the money budgeted for the FBI back to the states, but to make the system work without DC corruption, the money must not be allowed to go to DC and then returned.
The money should be funded locally and controlled locally from the word “go”.
That’s realistic?
