‘We’re Going To Break Up These Agencies’: DeSantis Reveals Plans To Tear Down, Rebuild DOJ, FBI

Florida GOP governor Ron DeSantis has plans to tear down and rebuild the Department of Justice and the FBI, even removing large parts of them and relocating FBI headquarters out of Washington D.C.

DeSantis has stated he will replace much of the personnel at the DOJ and its subsidiaries, and implement a “disciplined” and “relentless” strategy so the Justice Department resembles what the “Founding Fathers envisioned.”

“We’re not going to let all this power accumulate in Washington, we’re going to break up these agencies,” DeSantis said over the weekend, according to Real Clear Politics.

“We’ve seen throughout this country that the DOJ and the FBI are controlled by one faction of our society,” DeSantis said, noting that the federal agencies were “going after pro-life activists,” investigating parents at school board meetings “who are concerned about things like critical race theory and forcing kids to wear masks,” and “colluding with tech companies to censor information such as what they did with the 2020 election.”

Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Chip Roy (R-TX), both staunch conservatives, have discussed with DeSantis changes that need to be made, along with former assistant attorney general Steven Bradbury and Victor Davis Hanson of the Hoover Institution. Bradbury has urged DeSantis to use his prospective executive power to implement changes without waiting for Congress. He asserted that DeSantis could “relocate the FBI headquarters” himself and then consolidate the FBI’s general counsel, public affairs, and government relations offices with the DOJ, so the FBI’s capacity to interfere political affairs would be limited while it would “beef up and emphasize the field offices.”

  1. Need a New Hire & F I R E Dept !!!! Who can FIRE ANYBODY on the SPOT like we get treated !!!! SOLVED !!!!

  2. Needs to add the EDUCATION DEPT and several other depts. the ones fired gets no Government benefits paid to them such as a retirement, health insurance, severance pay nothing nada.

  3. Pressure to fix CONgress first.

    Why pressure? Because CONgress makes the rules for themselves. Pressure them via the voters.

    Do that, then realign whatever it is with government. Always realigning government does little since the next admin will come in and arrange it back. Waste of time and effort.

    Pressure to fix CONgress.
