There is a first time for everything. They are so corrupt that they can’t continue. We, the taxpayers, fund theses agencies and salaries, so we can demand they be defunded and disbanded too.
Well we all hope so, but implicit in dissolving the FBI would most likely also mean dissolving most of the Federal government. Which sounds lovely, but I don't know if it could happen. One way it might happen is this: The states created the federal government, not the other way around. Constitutionally, I think it would be possible for the states to UNDO the federal government too, or perhaps give it a modest budget to exist on and let it thrive or starve on that fixed budget.

You are correct sir. The Congress could dissolve the existing fedgov and return control of the nation to the states, keeping a tiny percentage of fedgov for military, border protection, interstate highways, etc.
I propose abolishing the IRS and income tax; establishing a 1% federal sales tax (consumption tax), to be collected by the states; and the states take over, or obliterate, the rest of the "functions" of the federal govt. Over 90% of it could cease existing tomorrow, and among the citizenry no one would notice. Prove me wrong
Federal agencies are the Undead. In my life I have never seen a fed agency dissolved.
You are correct!! Ronald Reagan told us about that phenomenon years ago.
I don't doubt many if not most fed agencies are merely money laundering structures.
Probably 95% of it could die tomorrow, and nothing bad would happen.
Worse, very few people would even notice.

LET'S DO THIS!!
Yeah, the cat's out of the bag. They've lost all credibility. Not sure how they can be expected to be trusted.
I would take the bet that when President Trump comes back in many agencies are gone in very short order
