J. Edgar Hoover was a reactionary without loyalties to any party or politician; he struck fear in the hearts of presidents of both parties. Kash Patel is a reactionary with boundless loyalty to Donald Trump. Does that make him worse?
Yes, because it broadens his list of potential targets to anyone of either party who opposes Trump. Just imagine the havoc he can wreak at the FBI during the 2028 campaign. He will know that his job depends on it.
