Something similar seems to have happened to the FBI.

I think all we really need is Military Intelligence and Federal Marshals.

Of what good use is anything further?

My fantasy is that over the next 6 years Trump rolls back 80% of the new laws passed since 1938. Most of them have not been of good use either.

It's a little more complicated than that. There are 17 major "intelligence" agencies, including the ODNI, created by the PATRIOT/IRTPA acts after 9/11.

THe goal was to "break down intelligence sharing silos". In other words, MILINT collections (NSA, DIA, others) were now to be shared with bad state actors within the CIA/State and corrupt non-MIL IC members.

There are intelligence agencies which focus on special areas, many are .MIL not .GOV - NGA, NSA/CSS, DIA, INSCOM, AFOSI, NRO, USCYBERCOM, etc. All of these entities are under military and not Federal bureaucratic control.
