If nothing else, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has shown itself to be both politically malleable AND criminally incompetent.
As a result, it's time to end that agency.
Everyone remotely involved with any effort to attack any campaign and their supervisors needs to be fired.
Anyone remotely involved with dropping the ball on the foreknowledge of the high school shooting in Florida...as the FBI has acknowledged they were... needs to be fired.
The senior leadership of the FBI needs to be fired.
They've shown themselves to be both criminally incompetent in regards to the Florida situation and politically incompetent in allowing themselves to be used as a political tool.
This fish is rotting from the head down and it's time for it to go.
A shocking idea? Not really; it's been done before.
At the close of World War 2, the intelligence agency headed by Gen. William "Wild Bill" Donovan, the Office of Strategic Services, was disbanded and turned into what we know now as the Central Intelligence Agency. The OSS was the object of your basic inter-agency warfare, with various individuals and other agencies in government, including the FBI, wanting to take it over completely...mainly so they could control it. As it was, it was under direct presidential control, so that no one would "filter" the intelligence to "handle" the president... which drove many in other agencies insane since their intel presented to the President and Gen. Donovan's frequently failed to match up.
When the OSS was dissolved, many of their personnel and assets were transferred to the CIA, once it was up and running.
So, that is not to say that the actual crime-fighters, the field agents and the like who are actually doing their job the way it was meant to be would not be kept on.
But it will take more than Florida Governor Rick Scott's demand that the director of the FBI resign to straighten out this now rotten-to-the-core agency.
It will take a complete reorganization and a new identity, since the tarnished name of the FBI now can never be trusted.
What possible way is there for these people to engage in image rehabilitation? They're in a hole so deep they need to have daylight pumped into them.
Things need to change... and quickly. The mere resignation or firing of a few in the upper echelon, particularly those beholden to the past administration, simply isn't enough.
Leveling the FBI and rebuilding it into something we can believe in is the only way.
