FBI is very much more decentralized, and has fiercely independent regional offices, compared with, say, NSA/CIA.

All the more reason to give each of those fiercely independent offices the right to hack the world (I kid)

Not enough publicly said about how exec maximizes powers, minimizes leg changes because Congress is impossible
