0:59Now PlayingScott MacFarlane examines the norm-shattering removal of Christopher Wray before his 10-year term ended and the installation of loyalist Cash Patel as FBI director, raising questions inside the Bureau about whether the job is still shielded from partisan politics, what happens when future presidents follow this precedent, and how weakening fixed terms for watchdog roles could reshape the entire justice system. #FBI
