The article titled "The First Deep State Fix: Dismantle the FBI" by Matt Taibbi discusses the idea of dismantling the FBI as a solution to issues related to the "deep state." Taibbi argues that the FBI has become a political tool rather than a neutral law enforcement agency. He suggests that the agency's powers have been misused for political purposes, and proposes that dismantling it could be a step towards addressing these problems. The article explores the history and actions of the FBI that have led to this viewpoint[1].

No one cared when the FBI targeted and infiltrated MLK, Malcolm X, Fred Hampton and other Black Panthers. Now that you see they will target you, too...
Welcome to the revolution!
reply
People dont care until it truly effects them. Other groups have been targeted for long periods of time, unnoticed.
reply
For those who thing the FBI target of Blacks stopped in the 60s, 70s, 80s, or even 90s, check this out.

J Edgar Hoover was the director since inception until he died in 1972.
The agency was different under Hoover and has changed since he died.
James Comey was a step in the wrong direction.
reply
Facts. But are you saying there were no issues between Hoover and Comey?
reply
No
Comey is the biggest narcissist
reply
Bigger than William Webster, who was pre-internet?
reply
To what extent do you think the FBI is corrupt?
reply
All the directors and top officials wanted Hillary to win in 2016.
Something happened to the FBI in the last 20 years. The organization has become too political and the state police for one party.
The FBI raided Mar A Lago in 2022 and falsified pictures of documents in the bathroom.
The FBI investigated the shooter in Las Vegas and shared nothing with the public.
The FBI is supposedly investigating the kid who shot Trump. What have they released so far?
They have become too corrupt and one sided. Too political and too incompetent
reply
It became politicized on the left from what I see, I guess it's just another tool of the deep state, my question was because I don't really have that much information about said agency
thanks for your info.
reply
Sorry. I read your question again
FBI is extremely corrupt
The leadership is bought and paid for
There are some agents who have integrity but they don’t run the agency
reply
Who or who are the visible leaders of the FBI right now?
reply
Wray, McCabe and Comey were awful. Wray is the current director.
Mueller b/c director during or after 9-11.
reply
Its not just the FBI that is corrupt, or else the corruption would be squeezed out of existance. All of the agencies have corruption, that is why it is allowed everywhere. A blind eye towards everything that it entails.
reply
A corrupt agency should be dismantled especially law enforcement
What’s the point otherwise
Everyone does it is not a compelling reason for existence
reply
I realize, but if everyone is corrupt, who will bring them down?
reply
Appoint a special prosecutor
I feel this might be a bit biased. They cant always release the information right away, even though we want it to be. They have to process everything before they publish.
reply
How can you minimize them? defund?
reply
Fire everyone
reply
They are unionized, you cant just fire people.
reply
FBI agents are not unionized. Instead, they are represented by the FBI Agents Association (FBIAA), a non-profit organization that works to advance and safeguard their careers, economic interests, employment conditions, and welfare[1].

That is a union, just not using that word.
reply
Unions are considered non-profit? What a joke
reply
Force everyone to take early retirement
