Like any Federal agency, the FBI should be limited to interstate crime and stay the hell out of local and state law enforcement. It has always been a great forensics support for the police of the country, and that should continue. Anything else, keep its nose out of it.

Also, no secrets, no “I can’t talk about ongoing cases”, the classic excuse for hiding political aims.

No it hasn't always been a great forensic support for local and state law enforcement. The problems with the crime lab were massive and resulted in the dismissal of hundreds or thousands of local cases.

there was the f.b.i. lab that was caught falsifying evidence to get convictions. People believed the results because they were the f.b.i.
