Time to Scrap the FBI

 Joy Pullman has an article at The Federalist that makes the claim that the FBI is far too corrupt to salvage. She thinks we should disband the FBI and start over. However, I don't think it makes sense to start over. There is no way to guarantee that Leftists will not infiltrate whatever new investigators are put in their place. The Marshals have been functioning as Federal law enforcement since 1789. Perhaps some FBI duties could be transferred to the Marshals, but no FBI agents should be transferred with the duties unless they are given deep scrutiny to determine if they have any left leanings, and keep them on probationary status until retirement.

Pullman's article can be found at An FBI So Corrupt It Lets Mass Shooters Rampage Needs To GoShe points out that while the FBI can not be bothered to stop real live terrorists, or mass shooters of which they know, they have been extremely diligent about pursuing the enemies of the Democrats and the Left wing.

The New York Times reported on March 27 that Syrian-born Colorado mass shooter Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa had been on the FBI’s radar before he murdered 10 people in a grocery store.

“The suspect’s identity was previously known to the F.B.I. because he was linked to another individual under investigation by the bureau, according to law enforcement officials,” the Times says. According to a police affidavit, six days before Alissa shot 10 people to death, he purchased a pistol. That would have required him to pass a federal background check also run by the FBI. It seems the FBI is not very good at this “stopping mass shooters” thing.

While the FBI has been failing to stop terrorist attacks by known threats like these, it has conducted numerous political operations on behalf of Democrats. The ones we know about include Crossfire Hurricane‘s use of federal spy power to affect election outcomes and prevent effective governance by elected Republicans. That operation included spying on Fox News.

You can read the whole story at the linked article. It is dismaying, to say the least. It seems the Left has infiltrated every aspect of our government, to the point where one wonders if any of it can be salvaged.
