Shrink FBI headquarters and eliminate offices without Congress
What the document says“The next conservative Administration should eliminate any offices within the FBI that it has the power to eliminate without any action from Congress.”
The chapter gives the FBI's Office of General Counsel as its example, saying it holds about 300 attorneys, has been involved in what it calls some of the FBI's most damaging recent scandals, and that these attorneys are not necessary in their current capacity because legal advice should come from department attorneys. It separately asks that field offices be emphasized, funded and rewarded while headquarters staff shrinks, saying the department must value badges over bureaucracy.
What the document actually says“The next conservative Administration should eliminate any offices within the FBI that it has the power to eliminate without any action from Congress.”
Close any FBI office that can be closed without asking Congress.
The FBI has many offices at its headquarters. The book says some can be closed by the department alone. It wants those closed.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
