I’ve been wondering what exactly the agencies are there for. All that money seems pissed away. They didn’t see 9/11, the BLM protests or 1/6 coming. They must be complicit or incompetent, Why keep them?
They had info on 9/11 but didnt put the pieces together.
The BLM protests… Are protests? Do you want the feds to stop protests? Don’t worry, feds were on the scene doing all kinds of random shit like entrapment and interrogation and whatnot.
They did see Jan 6th coming, but basically chose not to interfere.
Why keep them? Theoretically surveillance can be useful. Its hard to justify understaffing and downsizing. I’d choose complicit. A lot of feds are fascist. They’re smart, unlike cops, but they’re evil just because of pathology or whatever. TBH the kind of person the FBI recruits would likely be even more dangerous if they weren’t agents.
Thinking of this from the prospective of “why have an IT department we don’t need them everything is working”. At least hopefully they have mitigated / prevented similar events you listed and we just never heard about them.
Their literal reason for existing is to protect the country, they had ample warning of 1/6 and did nothing. I would call that a definitive failure, no matter how you try to spin it.
Federal investigators foiled a massive bomb plot brought on by ~20 domestic terrorists who immigrated from another, restless, country and thought that wanton destruction would somehow galvanize support FOR their position on the conflict back home.
Can confirm that OUR feds are worth their (really small) pay.
I’m addressing their 1/6 failure.
Yes I know they’re good at investigating immigrants.
How much is their small pay? The agency that receives hundreds of billions and has never passed an audit, and you think it’s small pay lol

I agree with you on 1/6.
