To the editor: J. Edgar Hoover is smiling down on the constructing named after him.
With the confirmation of Kash Patel to direct the FBI, the company can now return to the times when Hoover, its first and longest-serving director, sought retribution in opposition to his enemies, illegally tapped telephones and unfold malicious gossip in opposition to leaders akin to Martin Luther King Jr. and plenty of others.
I concern that we’re about to enter one other age of Joe McCarthy-style hearings to criminalize any American who “is now or has ever been” a Democrat or has criticized the present president, Elon Musk or the spineless members of Congress who refuse to face as much as the administration’s clearly unconstitutional and vindictive orders.
I weep for our nation and the remainder of the world that used to depend on the U.S. as associates.

To the editor: Confirming Patel as FBI director is the equal of awarding the Medal of Honor to Timothy McVeigh.
My sympathies exit to the various courageous and devoted members of the FBI whose careers and lives will probably be destroyed, due to a pack of irresponsible cowards who occur to be United States senators.
