I may not agree on all policy, but shutting down the FBI is the right thing to do.

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy Shut down the FBI. And yes, this is much more practical than it sounds:

The FBI has a ~35,842 person staff. 56% of the bureau that are professional bureaucrats should be fired immediately. Just 44% of FBI employees are special agents & intelligence analysts—these 15,770 specialists should be reassigned to serve under the narrow focus of other federal law enforcement agencies doing the same specialist work.

Reassignments:

US Marshals Service (821 specialists/analysts transferred)

Crimes against children

Department of Defense

Counter-intelligence > Defense Intelligence Agency (4,159 specialists/analysts transferred)

Department of Homeland Security (4,663 specialists/analysts transferred)

National Security
Terrorism

US Secret Service (856 specialists/analysts transferred)

Political corruption

Department of Justice, within a specialized sub-agency rather than a sprawling investigative bureaucracy (2,555 specialists/analysts transferred)

Civil rights
Organized crime
Violent crime
Science & Technology, including crime laboratory analysis across agencies

Department of the Treasury

White collar crime > Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (856 specialists/analysts transferred)

@thendrix The FBI is where a decent amount of CIA/NSA operatives were put.
