They had info on 9/11 but didnt put the pieces together.
The BLM protests… Are protests? Do you want the feds to stop protests? Don’t worry, feds were on the scene doing all kinds of random shit like entrapment and interrogation and whatnot.
They did see Jan 6th coming, but basically chose not to interfere.
Why keep them? Theoretically surveillance can be useful. Its hard to justify understaffing and downsizing. I’d choose complicit. A lot of feds are fascist. They’re smart, unlike cops, but they’re evil just because of pathology or whatever. TBH the kind of person the FBI recruits would likely be even more dangerous if they weren’t agents.
Thinking of this from the prospective of “why have an IT department we don’t need them everything is working”. At least hopefully they have mitigated / prevented similar events you listed and we just never heard about them.
Federal investigators foiled a massive bomb plot brought on by ~20 domestic terrorists who immigrated from another, restless, country and thought that wanton destruction would somehow galvanize support FOR their position on the conflict back home.
Can confirm that OUR feds are worth their (really small) pay.

I agree with you on 1/6.
