Honestly, I wouldn't be all that surprised if the FBI's response to the massive funding cut they deserve from Congress would simply be to supplement departmental income with illegal activities.
They've already shown they don't give two shits about the law; I'm unsure what's stopping them going all-in at this point.
It's not illegal funding if you make it legal. Kinda like the cops straight steal from drug dealers (and others) and use the funds for whatever they want. It looks to be theft by any normal definition of the term, and it seems scummy, but there's a law that makes it legal.
Or simply using their connections and totally legit law enforcement to bully and harass the politicians back into compliance to return their funding and support.

"We'll sell more guns to the cartels!"
Which is why the FBI needs to be completely disbanded.

They suck up to power like any "law enforcement" agency. They are the goons of the regime, whoever happens to be at the wheel.
Hey now, that's the CIA's bit the FBI will have to find other means of income.
