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 towards his enemies, illegally tapped telephones and unfold malicious gossip towards leaders similar to Martin Luther King Jr. and lots of others.
I worry 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 numerous courageous and devoted members of the FBI whose careers and lives will likely be destroyed, due to a pack of irresponsible cowards who occur to be United States senators.
