If it were me, I'd shut the whole damn FBI down and turn over all investigations to an expanded Marshalls service. I'd close the CIA and turn it over to Naval Intelligence. EPA, HHS, DEA, ATF, DOE, education Dept. All of them shut down. All made redundant an no-one with more than 5 years experience could be retained in any other federal agency

I was not too wild about the CIA getting involved in war zones with drones. I'm against it.
I was read an article about the formation of the CIA, the pre-world war II intelligence gathering were handled by military intelligence and state department. that arrangement was fine until world war II when OSS was formed and disbanded later. It was the legacy agency to the CIA. I think it needs to go back to that arrangement.
Marshalls service. I think they need to be left alone. they run the prison system and transfer prisoners, and hunt escapees. one thing they really don't do is investigate crimes like the FBI does and they haven't since the 1800's. I think their functions were transferred to the FBI when it was formed.
when situation calls for, they do act as enforcement officers in town or cities that need enforcers as they used to do in the territories during the 1800's. I don't know if they still do that.
DEA and ATF should be disbanded and their functions transferred to other agencies. functions of the DEA would go to the FDA. ATF functions; tobacco and alcohol goes to FDA or Agriculture dept.; Firearms could go to the U.S. Marshalls or the successor to the FBI or the reformed FBI.
EPA needs to be limited to interstate issues regarding pollution.
HHS & DE should shut down. people have tried shutting down DE for years without success. DPST doesn't want that happened, they have too much fucking to do.
DOE.. not sure about that. Perhaps they can be downsized just to nuclear power regulation.
