You make an excellent point, Scott. But the FBI has overreached it's original mission and become a political tool of the very same banksters and oligarchs who have been screwing us over for the last couple of decades. There are plenty of other government agencies to protect Americans from abuse by banks and Wall Street predators. FTC, SEC, CFPB, FFIEC, CSBS, etc. These are all subject to enforcement by Department of Justice (also in dire need of reform, but can't be eliminated).
This begs the question: Have these agencies already been neutered by regulatory capture? I don't know. But there seems to be little point in funding government regulatory and/or law enforcement agencies which no longer protect us.
