Remember how Hercules cleaned out the Augean stables? He diverted a river to run through it. Washed out everything. EVERYTHING.
The FBI is BEYOND REDEMPTION, too endemically corrupt. Don’t waste the effort of separating the pepper from the fly specks, wash out EVERYTHING. Leave NOTHING, burn it down and build from new.
Otherwise you’ll have fixed exactly NOTHING.
RE: burn it down and build from new.
So, you’re still in favor of a FEDERAL Intelligence Bureau ( whatever you name it ), but built from the ground up?
How about this idea, scrapping the FBI (F as in Federal) altogether and distributing the money to all 50 states to form their own BIs ( Bureau of Investigations ), e.g. , Florida Bureau of Investigations ( Yes, FBI ), NYBI, NJBI, MBI ( Massachusetts ), CBI ( California ), NCBI, ( North Carolina ), SCBI ( South Carolina ), PBI ( Pennsylvania ), etc, etc.
