The power of the purse has become a figurative act. The bottomless pit of dark money and budgets that's completely outside of Congress' knowledge and control makes Congress' 'power of the purse' a neutered exercise. Withholding FBI funding would create a backdoor for money to come in to fill the void. It's possible the Biden Administration could re-appropriate money from other State Agencies to the FBI. I see this as a real possibility with all the other outrageous acts this regime has done.
very true, however it would also show how corrupt things really are. I can think of a few ways to mitigate this corruption, would just need to be implemented properly.
