After the election, Trump needs to fire him, and all of the people immediately below him, and replace him with someone who will actually be transparent with congress. Appoint a special team that is tied in tightly with the Whitehouse. Two or three times a week, they should meet and brief Trump on which declassification or information requests are pending from Congress. Trump will give official direction on what to release/declassify. Not tweets, not sternly worded letters, but official direction written by Whitehouse lawyers. All in writing, so nobody has any excuse to delay or deny the information. Anyone caught doing so gets arrested for insubordination.
This is how you do it. Keep a very tight leash on these people and absolutely crush them if they step even a tiny bit out of line.
The White House FBI files controversy of the Clinton Administration, often referred to as Filegate,[1] arose in June 1996 around improper access in 1993 and 1994 to FBI security-clearance documents. Craig Livingstone, director of the White House's Office of Personnel Security, improperly requested, and received from the FBI, background reports concerning several hundred individuals without asking permission. The revelations provoked a strong political and press reaction because many of the files covered White House employees from previous Republican administrations, including top presidential advisors. Under criticism, Livingstone resigned from his position. Allegations were made that senior White House figures, including First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, may have requested and read the files for political purposes, and that the First Lady had authorized the hiring of the underqualified Livingstone.
Yep, there's almost no saving it. They've become a joke. The idea of an investigative agency "independent" of the executive is unconstitutional in the first place.
In the corporate world there are "reorganizations" to basically fire everyone and have everyone apply under a new "department". They need to do the same with the intelligence agencies from the top down. Re-interview everyone and see how many people rat out each other and clean house.
Like someone else said, there is justice and there is “just us” the alphabet agencies are around to protect their own. Not serve justice.

Blackmail was always the FBI's purpose.

Anyone remember Filegate?
Those are typically referred to as "alphabet agencies".

From a cannon, into a pool of piranhas
Clean out the entire agency. Too corrupt to save at this point. Clean slate or disband
