Misty: You didn't answer my question Precious.
Why is an FBI director appointed to a 10 year term?
I know you won't answer, so I'll answer it for you.
NON POLITICAL!
Blah, blah, blah blah. Every president expects political loyalty.
You can repeat that **** a hundred times.
It will not make it any more true.

The FBI director should only be loyal to the Constitution and the rule of law......period.
In 1976, Congress mandated a 10-year term for FBI directors.

The Justice Department later issued guidelines on how the FBI director was to deal with the White House and the president, and how to conduct investigations.

These guidelines have been reaffirmed, revised and reissued by subsequent attorneys general, most recently in 2009.

The guidelines state, for example: “Initial communications between the Department and the White House concerning pending or contemplated criminal investigations or cases will involve only the Attorney General or the Deputy Attorney General.”
 
These rules were intended to ensure the integrity of criminal investigations, avoid political influence and protect both the Justice Department and president.
