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.

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

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

https://www.fbi.gov/history/directors

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

Force everyone to take early retirement

Move them to Alaska

reply

Moving to alaska might work.
But they wouldnt get much done over there.
Im sure they would have to stay in one of the 48.

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
