If it ends up that the government doesn't release the evidence because "our methods and the public is too stupid anyway" then we are heading for some incredibly dark times.
One thing people forget to mention about the FBI director 10 year term is that it wasn't put in place in order to have a director serve over a long period of time (somewhat like the SCOTUS) but to prevent somebody from amassing so much information and power that they can blackmail anybody.
That was decades ago, we now have agencies like the NSA who have far more information on people and if we are going to top that off with allowing them to make claims on wrongdoing without having to disclose actual evidence I just don't know such power could be kept in check.
