The FBI may have just made the best case for dismantling itself
[American Thinker] I can’t imagine there are really that many Americans left — outside of the FBI — who actually believe the agency is impartial, reverent to blind justice, or even adherent to the limits of their own stated mission, which is to "Protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States[.]"

At this point, those notions would be laughable, especially after what we saw happen at Mar-a-Lago.

To add to all of that, Tucker Carlson recently covered some highly disturbing allegations, from what we’re being told, is an FBI whistleblower. If you missed the segment, watch the clip below:

If this turns out to be true, the FBI will have unknowingly provided two fantastic defenses for the ever-growing argument to splinter the derelict Bureau into a thousand pieces.

"Child sexual abuse material [pornography] investigations" are no longer a ranking concern.

The first, and the most obvious and uncomplicated, is that if this federal law enforcement agency won’t even prioritize the most heinous crimes committed against the most innocent and defenseless, of which child pornography most certainly is, what good is it?

For the 2022 fiscal year, the FBI budget request was well over $10 billion — hilariously, the FBI chooses to write their numbers in the tens of thousands of millions (yes, you read that right), presumably in an effort to mislead any prying citizens; it’s not $10.3 billion, it’s "$10,275.8 million". Aside from the fact the FBI lacks the Constitutional merit to exist (which I will address shortly), one could argue that bringing creators and voyeurs of child pornography to justice is paramount to any other injustice, and deserving of every dollar. If the FBI chooses to disregard the created role of protector, then no doubt they forfeit any legitimacy or usefulness.

Secondly, there is a more nuanced defense that arises from the whistleblower’s statement. According to the gentleman in question, when he was told about the policy change, the higher ups then expressed that any alleged crimes involving "child sexual abuse material", "should be referred to local law enforcement agencies [emphasis added]" — ergo, state-level or lower law enforcement.

#1 Somewhat inaccurate title. I would say the case for dismantlement was made in April 1993.

Like any agency in DC, they have become the political enforcement arm of the DC Swamp now.

It will take a new, fresh group of politicians willing to rewrite the Federal Enforcement Agencies mission rules.

Rules that must follow the US Constitutional Bill Of Rights and CANNOT be steered for political purposes.

#6 So the question is, if you get rid of the FBI do you need some kind of replacement and if so how do you vet the new hires to prevent the bad FBI folks from just changing bad numbers.
