  > The FBI dropped law enforcement from their mission statement several years ago, and now considers their mission to be intelligence work only. That's an interesting claim, but utterly untrue: "The mission of the FBI is to protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners; and to perform these responsibilities in a manner that is responsive to the needs of the public and is faithful to the Constitution of the United States." https://www.justice.gov/jmd/organization-mission-and-functions-manual-federal-bureau-investigation https://www.justice.gov/jmd/organization-mission-and-functio...
