One wonders if the FBI has a right to exist after something like this, or instead should be disbanded and absorbed into other agencies.

It is actually astonishingly high, given the number of employees in aggregate those agencies employ and turnover in a given year. I guarantee you a more pedestrian megacap tech company unrelated to information warfare (say, for instance, AM
