I’ve seen many many articles and comments saying that the only solution to the rampant partisan corruption of the FBI is to defund it. Here’s an example of one such article. It’s by Roger Kimball, and the following excerpt is couched in the form of advice to Donald Trump if he manages to get elected in 2024:

Disband the FBI. We should never have allowed a national police force to come into being.

Move the bits of the government you can’t actually destroy to other parts of the country.

Do these things instantly—the day you take office. The deep state will howl. The bureaucrats will oppose you. The lawyers will sue you. Do it anyway. Act first, deal with the consequences later.
