Unlike most office-holders, the director can confine himself on the seventh floor of the FBI building for months at a time, making only rare, carefully controlled appearances on Capitol Hill. Mueller will be faced with the task of fixing the problems that got the FBI into the McVeigh and Hanssen messes, while repairing the bureau's flagging morale...
