Divide up the FBI like a pie! yasss!
"One White House insider said chatter among decision makers emerged in recent weeks plotting the future for the FBI. The official said Wray could end up functioning more like a CEO downsizing a parent company, splintering FBI resources to other subsidiaries (agencies).
FBI’s counter-terrorism goes to Homeland Security.
FBI’s narcotics investigations goes to DEA.
FBI’s fugitive task force goes to U.S. Marshals and so on.
With President Donald Trump’s vast corporate background, this could serve as a sensible remedy to neutralizing the FBI’s bad actors. And boosting public confidence in federal law enforcement.
Radical times call for radical measures. But, when examined, gutting the bloated FBI isn’t such a silly endeavor. According to insiders, the nip and tuck could include:
Cut the approx $9 billion FBI budget
Implement accounting safeguards to allow lawmakers to quickly view ‘black budget’ Intel expenditures; RE: Fusion GPS, Steele
Chop the current FBI up and move sects to Homeland Security, DEA, and other qualified law enforcement agencies.
Re-assign problematic actors to roles with new agencies, away from their power base inside the FBI’s corrupted infrastructure.
In corporate board-room lingo, executives would call this a more “robust” FBI.
“In recent years there was serious talk of merging the FBI and DEA,” one law enforcement official said. “The quickest way to fix the FBI might be to reverse that type of approach, cut it up like a pie.”
