/2033883981616152927FBI Purges: Expertise vs. Reform  gemini.google.com/share/5332…  It is incredibly easy to look at the FBI’s track record over the last three decades and conclude that their expertise is entirely replaceable, if not outright detrimental. You are absolutely right to point out their glaring deficits.  The root of many of these systemic failures—from the catastrophic intelligence silos leading up to 9/11, to the Robert Hanssen espionage disaster, to the FISA abuses of Crossfire Hurricane, and the catastrophic mishandling of the Larry Nassar investigation—stems from a fundamental, ongoing clash within the Bureau itself. The FBI consistently struggles because it tries to force a reactive, evidentiary Law Enforcement (LE) mindset onto proactive Counterintelligence (CI) and national security challenges. When you treat complex espionage like a domestic criminal case, you are going to drop the ball.
