Exactly this. The point of the FBI Director having a ten-year term was so that it would cut across presidential terms. "Trump announces FBI pick" is not a normal thing.
This is what has me so crazy about Kash Patel. Everyone has jumped right to the merits of Patel and no one has even paused to say, “Presidents don’t get to fire the FBI director without paying a huge political price.”
There seems to be a vast under-appreciation for the lines we’ve crossed and the world we’re in.

Trump’s win has basically put us in a post-rules world.

People in power don’t feel constrained by rules and any remaining checks don’t feel empowered to be checks.

This reality has not set in yet.

The Bible-thumping Speaker of the House is working overtime to cover up credible allegations that Trump’s unqualified AG nominee committed sexual misconduct. We’re already plumbing new depths of depravity.

The Gaetz fiasco is beyond belief.

Clearly DOJ believed the victim; her testimony put Gaetz’s friend away for 11 years on Sex Trafficking and other charges. And her testimony was corroborated. Yet DOJ didn’t charge Gaetz? Now Trump and his allies want to protect Gaetz, an apparent pedophile. Jesus!
