Just a comment on the mechanism of replacement:---
You need to sequester the current organization during the process. So, the first order of business would be to suspend FBI operations---but not fire anyone. Keep them at their desks under salary. They just can't do anything and they can't make any trouble while under surveillance.
Meanwhile, start building a replacement organization under a Different Name. As the organization gets its management structure in place and staffed, start transferring FBI cases to the new organization, with appropriate DoJ authorization, jurisdiction, and reporting responsibility.
Eventually, all the FBI cases will either be transferred or abandoned. The new organization will be fully operational. As case load is removed, offer the FBI staff opportunity to resign or retire---those who are not indicted for various crimes against individuals or the state. (Hypothetically, there might be a process to allow "white hat" FBI agents to transfer to the new agency, but there is so much corruption, I think they should all be removed from federal employment. A clean break is the right hygiene.) Ultimately, there will be no one left.
This will be a little expensive, keeping the FBI under salary for a while, but I think it is a good investment in keeping the mischief-makers from making mischief. The harm that is Not done is worth the cost to prevent it.
I see your point, but have misgivings. Basically, the IRS and the income tax should be abolished. Hiring a new workforce selected for the willingness to be enforcement muscle does not sound to me like a "replacement" for agents who are willing to take bad orders.

I was thinking the same could be possible with regards to the new lRS hires. They could be replacements for the existing, corrupt agents.
