This is a farewell address by an outgoing FBI director warning about independence and politicization. Constitutional damage is moderate but limited: rule_of_law (3) for concerns about law enforcement independence, separation (3) for executive-agency relationship tensions, capture (3) for institutional vulnerability signals, election (2) for transition context. However, mechanism is norm_erosion_only with no concrete action, triggering 0.6 modifier. The event scores higher on distraction: Layer 1 shows strong media_friendliness (4) for dramatic farewell framing, moderate outrage_bait (3) for partisan implications. Layer 2 reveals strategic timing (4) during transition, significant mismatch (3) between warning rhetoric and actual damage, pattern_match (3) with resistance narrative. Intentionality indicators include strategic timing, narrative framing, and preemptive positioning (8/15), yielding 0.53 intent_weight. Final B-score (27.89) exceeds A-score (12.36) by 15.53 points, classifying as List B: high-hype event with symbolic warning but limited constitutional mechanism.
