The FBI needs to be shuttered along with many other agencies, boards and commissions. That’s the way you reduce the footprint. Say it out load and then do it. It’s not difficult. Give me ten people and two weeks and I’ll cut $3.5 trillion from the budget and next year we start paying down the debt and securing social security.
I can see two elements of the FBI continuing to exist at the end: the science lab-development site in Huntsville, and the terrorism division. Beyond that....you could cut what remains by 90-percent. Whatever that group is...I’d reposition it into Detroit or Memphis. That would convince most of who want to stay...to leave the agency.
