Isn't the Fbi tracking down jan 6th rioters, investigating Trump, and all the other things? Defunding them I think is an attempt at slowing all the evidence piling up against them.

If the Fbi were working in their favor, they'd be handing money over left and right.

Defunding the FBI won't slow down the Jan 6 investigation at all. They would simply reduce spending in other areas of crime fighting, such as foreign terrorism.
