The entire history of the FBI is about abuse of power and abuse of the Constitution.
John Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895 – May 2, 1972), was an American detective and the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States.
Hoover became a controversial figure as evidence of his secretive abuses of power began to surface.
He was found to have exceeded the jurisdiction of the FBI, and to have used the FBI to harass political dissenters and activists, to amass secret files on political leaders, and to collect evidence using illegal methods.
Hoover consequently amassed a great deal of power and was in a position to intimidate and threaten sitting presidents.
The FBI Honors Hoover by naming tighter HQ after him.
Truman called the FBI the Gestapo.
How queer that the same media that lauds the Watergate investigation (and ignores crooked Hillary’s history in it) doesn’t share the info that Deep Throat is the guy who screwed up the Weather Underground case and is why Bill Ayers admits to being guilty as sin yet free as a bird (allegedly his ‘rights’ were violated in the investigation).
And the same prestitutes who red-bait and say that anyone who does not agree with them in the coverage of the Trump investigation is a Putin loving traitor thought it horrific that the loyalty of card carrying Communists in the USA was questioned in the 40s, 50s, and 60s even though they were coordinating with KGB agents and front groups to plan riots and worse in the US.
They also think it is unkind to question the actions of the FIB while they proclaim that J. Edgar Hoover was a power mad drag queen and still spit daily upon G. Gordon Liddy.
They’ve also had some real distinguished personnel, like Robert Hanssen and Lon Horiuchi.
