FBI investigates drugs, kidnappings, serial rapes, serial murders, interstate commercial fraud, domestic seditious activity, and more all the time. None of which is covered in the above quoted provision of US Code.

ETA: OK, the statute mentions that they can sorta help with drug cases. They don't "sorta help" with them, they initiate and lead them.

Congress never created the FBI
: Read notes following 28 U.S.C. § 531 to find that Congress didn't create the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI simply appeared in the Department of Justice -- it is an administratively-created entity, so cannot exceed authority originally vested in the Attorney General or the Department of Justice. Statutory authority vested in the FBI and the Attorney General is found at 28 U.S.C. § 535:
The Attorney General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation may investigate any violation of title 18 involving Government officers and employees...
Administrative creation of the FBI is confirmed in The United States Government Manual, 1996/97 edition, page 349:
"The Federal Bureau of Investigation was established in 1908 by the Attorney General, who directed that Department of Justice investigations be handled by its own staff..."

So
are you saying that the COINTELPRO never happened?

Or that the FBI didn't set up the last few "terror" plots?

The authority of the Attorney General, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is found at 28 U.S.C. § 535, It is reproduced in its entirety below:
§ 535. Investigation of crimes involving Government officers and employees; limitations.
(a) The Attorney General and the Federal Bureau of Investigation may investigate any violation of title 18 involving Government officers and employees --
(1) notwithstanding any other provision of law; and
(2) without limiting the authority to investigate any matter which is conferred on them or on a department or agency of the Government.
(b) Any information, allegation, or complaint received in a department or agency of the executive branch of the Government relating to violations of title 18 involving Government officers and employees shall be expeditiously reported to the Attorney General by the head of the department or agency, unless
(1) the responsibility to perform an investigation with respect thereto is specifically assigned otherwise by another provision of law; or
(2) as to any department or agency of the Government, the Attorney General directs otherwise with respect to a specified class of information, allegation, or complaint.
Justice Harlan, a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States, in one of his more lucid criticisms was written in his dissenting opinion in Downes v. Bidwell (1901), the first of four insular tax cases that provided a conceptual platform for the current de facto (authority in fact, but without law) system that engulfs not only insular possessions of the United States, but State republics party to the Constitution:
The idea prevails with some -- indeed, it found expression in arguments at the bar -- that we have in this country substantially or practically two national governments, one to be maintained under the constitution, with all its restrictions; the other to be maintained by Congress outside and independently of that instrument, by exercising such powers as other nations of the earth are accustomed to exercise. It is one thing to give such a latitudinarian construction to the Constitution as will bring the exercise of power by Congress, upon a particular occasion or upon a particular subject, within its provisions. It is quite a different thing to say that Congress may, if it so elects, proceed outside the Constitution. The glory of our American system of government is that it was created by a written constitution which protects the people against the exercise of arbitrary, unlimited power, and the limits of which instrument may not be passed by the government it created, or by any branch of it, or even by the people who ordained it, except by amendment or change of its provisions

This was changed in 1913 with the Socialist Coup.

What is your point in posting these non nonsensical threads.
The FBI exists. (it shouldn't) and they do far more than they should even if they should exist.

Pretending otherwise will not make them go away.
And you did NOT answer the question
