That is historical fact - and COMEY LIED about the reason for that 'ten year' term limit being imposed.
An 'independent law enforcement' agency is damned dangerous,a fact that J. Edgar Hoover proved, in spades.
They must be ANSWERABLE to a higher authority - and in this case, the FBI is directly reportable and controllable by the Department of Justice - who agreed that James Comey should be fired.
So to Comey's assertion that the 'FBI must be independent' .... BULLSHIT.
That is one of the most dangerous things that could happen in this country - and results in GROSS ABUSE of authority - as amply demonstrated during the past eight years of the Reign of Terror by Hussein.Ø - fast and furious, IRS terrorism of conservatives, failure to prosecute ACTUAL voter intimidation, Benghazi, Clinton pay-for-play, and ILLEGAL CRIMINAL SURVEILLANCE of damn near every American Citizen.
Yeah - the FBI was 'independent' ... MY ASS - they were a direct implementation of the POLICE STATE that ran rampant for eight freakin' years.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good ...
