I don’t want the FBI cleaned up, I want it dismantled.
Their prime directive has always been the surveillance, infiltration and destruction of dissident groups and individuals. As a side gig, they occasionally bust some real criminals to keep up appearances.
Hoover used the FBI as his own intelligence agency gathering blackmail info on every congressman in DC. When he died, his office was raided all his personal files disappeared! Wouldn't it be nice to see those files! FBI has been corrupt from the beginning!
I don't know everything about Hoover, but he's got a lot of quotes I agree with. What he said about communism was spot on. What he said the role of the FBI SHOULD be was spot on.
Hoover was right about Communism but he was basically a hateful old queen. He helped to coverup the JFK assassination and he hated both JFK and RFK.
Hoover was a closet queen that ruled the FBI like it was his private firm. He had so much on the people in DC, they would never replace him as head dog. Just because they say something doesn't mean they do it. He was owned by the mob.
I am hazy on the creation of the FBI... Were they legislatively created? Or are they just another big government agency?
It was created to catch the like of Bonnie and Clyde, Machine Gun Kelly and such. At the time it was created, State police could not cross state lines and pursuit of criminals. If they were running and got to the state line, they were home free. The FBI was given authority to track them down where ever they went.
completely!
oranges
Tell you what, the FBI's pretty big and that sound's a waste of good oranges - we got a food shortage comin' up after all. I'm thinking it needs to be something readily available in the American countryside that people will be happy to donate by the tons. Like crabapples. Or prickly pears.
But after you beat them with the sack of oranges you can squeeze the juice and mix it with liberal tears.. That is sweet Pepe Nectar there!
First of all there's no such thing. Unicorns, fairies, leprechauns, Easter Bunny, good clean federal police agency. They go together.
But it doesn't matter.
Try finding "federal police agency" in the Constitution.
There is a reason the Founders in their near-infinite wisdom did not include any such notion in the document.

States can be sued in court. Happens every day.
Hoover was hyper adamant that the FBI was never supposed to be a police agency.
"Just the minute the FBI begins making recommendations on what should be done with its information, it becomes a Gestapo."
