Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sad day for a once competent organization. This is just straight up election interference.
They were never competent; the FBI has always been crooked.
Remember that this is the same organization that tried to blackmail Martin Luther King Jr. into committing suicide.
Before that, they were instrumental in the Red Scare, and before that they were involved in the internment of Japanese Americans during World War 2.
Am I naive for thinking that due their compartmentelization there are good things happening and bad things happening and we can't just abolish the whole thing due to some silos that get away with disgusting things?
To be clear I'm not trying to defend them at all, tying to understand. And I'd err on the side of abolishment personally. But I don't have solid views or reasoning on the matter.
So my question to someone with your perspective is, is there any good they do that is worth preserving somehow? If you could reshape their entire mission, power structure, and oversight personally, is there anything good there that you would keep?
TIA if you spend effort replying.
Any organization that allows inexcusable behavior is fundamentally flawed as an organization even if that behavior is somehow isolated in silos.
The whole point of having an organization is to align all the people in the org so if subgroups of people are doing horrible things then that means (at best) the org was missing the necessary guardrails to prevent that.
As for somehow reforming it; don’t bother. It would be better to restart with new organizations that don’t have the baked in, systemic flaws of the original.
As a whole they are rotten from the beginning like all the other agencies. Hell even the army core of engineers poisoned citizens with radiation on purpose in inner cities.
