That fool, Hoover, started out with dossiers on EVERY Fed pol, every Fed Dept head,the Pres of that time, and EVERY major business and political party leader. That's how he got the FBI started.

I don't claim to know everything but do you think maybe there was somebody pulling his strings? Or, do you think he was corrupt from the start?

Good post.

Another way of looking at it is that a person who has been put in power may be a power-hungry or even power-mad fundamental criminal with absolute no regard for the rights of American citizens, a total despot really, but in some cases your enemy (the Communists) may happen to be his enemy as well. So due to that he may do you a service in that regard, but should he have still been shot after lawful trial and conviction for his various crimes, absolutely yes. Deeds that worked to the good have never balanced against crimes.

Thank you. I hear what you are saying. Maybe the power corrupted him. I honestly couldn't tell you if he was a gay cross dresser or perhaps he was forced to take those pictures. I can only speculate that he had to be a target of powerful communist organizations after his early work.

In the same vein, decoded Soviet messages show that McCarthy was more right than he knew. The Truman administration had been infiltrated by a serious network of communist spies. One result was that China went red. That's what happens when the entrenched bureaucrats "know" what the policy should be better than the elected leaders.
