Today's FBI directors. How did the 10 year limit work out?

I bring this up after watching the movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. It was pretty good. It show the 'closet queer' element without the women undergarment episodes and his lust for pornography.. Clint Eastwood directed so I assume it was fair.

At 24 years of age he ran the 'radicals division.' Did well. It looks like they've come back so the question becomes: Do you need a bad guy to deal with the really bad ones? Chemotherapy is bad but needed to fight cancer. Sheepdogs are not popular with the sheep but when the wolves come around they have to be thankful. Rudy was unpopular with the bad guys and he became America's mayor. Where does that put Trump?

You’ll have to excuse where clickbait articles end up. There is a gross picture of apparently a one eyed baby titled ‘beautiful genetic photos’.

No, the MAY serve ten years. But they do not get a “ten year term”. They serve at the pleasure of the President, but may not EXCEED ten years. They are a mere head of a minor bureau inside the DOJ. They are not independent of the Chief Executive sitting in the White House and serve at his pleasure.

A President can fire and replace him with no reason needed.

Just think of how America tears down it’s icons. Could be statues or the names of towns. All the effort it takes could be better spent. Would this country be better without J Edgar? Was McCarthy right in his assault on communists?

Remember Woody Hayes? After a 6 year effort to get him fired he goes out on the field and punches a Clemson player. Another icon Joe Paterno stuck around too long, perhaps emulating Hoover. Pete Rose got what he deserved. It’s a shame. George Floyd was a waste of human skin. He’s revered. The media controls the narrative. It got us into 2 world wars.

And the sheepdog analogy fails here. The FBI is an undisciplined and uncontrolled Pit Bull that constantly turns on the family and actually attacks on the command of some neighbor who wishes you ill.

This is a nonissue if the FBI is shuttered. Law enforcement is a local responsibility.

The new proposed FBI HQ is slated to be larger than the Kremlin. What does that tell us?

J. Edgar Hoover is the reason FBI directors only serve for 10 years.

The last couple of ones at least should serve MUCH, MUCH longer - in SUPERMAX!
