The FBI has been a majorly corrupt organization for a long long time, and in my opinion, run by DEEP STATE.

So, yeah, DESTROY the FBI

The FBI is also instrumental in catching dealers and consumers of child pornography, child abductors, and pedophiles in general. Using the GOP's logic that Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is pro-pedophile owing to her allegedly lenient sentences for pedophiles,* I guess the GOP is pro-pedophile.


* A false narrative: her sentencing practices in this regard are in accord with those of any number of Republican (or Republican-appointed) judges.

Anslinger was the worse of the two......
One surprising fact----Hoover fought, strenuously,
against the mass incarceration of The Japanese during WW II.
Literally the lone voice in FDR's administration.
Hoover had already had his shot at destroying the country in 1929.

I would hope he'd spend the rest of his life trying to atone for that.
