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)
