Of course we should de-fund the FBI and the DOJ

I don't mean zero out their entire budget. In fact, in the first two years of the second Trump administration, they will likely need to continue at the budget that they have when Trump takes office. After the needed reforms, the budget can be reduced because the fat will have been cut out.

Money they are currently spending on investigations into political opponents in the United States, must be redirected into a project to completely reform that incredibly corrupt agency. Here are the guidelines for that re-organization:

1) No more political investigations, ever. Let congress fund its own investigators to investigate the opposing party. Everyone will know that such investigations are entirely political, so there will be no pretense of non-partisan law enforcement.

2) Decentralize command and control by region. Let each district be headed by a U.S. Attorney and a Special Agent in charge. The U.S. Attorneys can be appointed by the president and serve at his or her pleasure, while the SAC's can be appointed for ten years as the FBI director is now. This will prevent mission creep in which the FBI leadership finds some new guise for its political investigations.

No cabinet level Attorney General and no FBI national director. That is way too much power for any two people to have, independent of elected officials.

3) Decentralize command and control by mission. Let there be a director for drug investigations, one for human trafficing, one for gangs, one for smuggling, etc. Let each director have an office in a district closest to the area in which that kind of crime is concentrated with a rank equal to that of the SAC of that disctrict.

Did Trump do any of this in his first term?

Defund the police

LOL
 
Good. You're running for office?
Too old.

In five more years, I'll be yelling for the FBI to get off of my lawn.

My fourth son is my hope, the rest being far too busy making money from their brains, ability, and effort. The fourth one will do the same as soon as he graduates.

It is their future I weap for, since they will remember when the U.S. was free, but be unable or unwilling to take it back.

Another Republican fantasy, like killing Social Security, or doing away with the IRS. Not happening.

Of course not. Even if it were to somehow happen, another agency would fill the vacuum. The government racket is too profitable not to exist.

Wherever there are people working hard to be economically productive, who hire or allow others to carry arm for them so they can produce with both hands, the armed people will realize that they can use their arms to increase their pay. Once that light bulb goes off, a bloated authoritarian government must eventually result.
 
Wray was handpicked by Trump himself.
Another mistake.

Trump knew he had to get rid of Comey. His mistake was not knowing that the entire senior leadership of the FBI was hopelessly politicized during the Obama administration.

The problem with picking a head of the FBI who is not a political activist is where to find an experienced FBI senior leader who is not so corrupted. That's why it needs to be decentralized and taken permenently out of the politically-motivated investigations business.

How much of a budget do you think the FBI should have dedicated to politicized investigations?
