Hoover spent over 3 decades in charge of the FBI, nominally primarily a crime-fighting agency, but in practice an effective information gathering apparatus to collect information for a variety of purposes. Hoover was an acomplished blackmailer who collected material not only on criminals but also on political dissenters, activists and political leaders.[2]

Hale Boggs“[Edgar] Hoover lied his eyes out to the [Warren] Commission – on Oswald, on Ruby, on their friends, the bullets, the gun, you name it.”Hale Boggs
Harry S. Truman“Dear Bess... We want no Gestapo or secret police. FBI is tending in that direction. They are dabbling in sex-life scandals and plain blackmail... Edgar Hoover would give his right eye to take over, and all congressmen and senators are afraid of him. I'm not and he knows it. If I can prevent [it] there'll be no NKVD or Gestapo in this country. Edgar Hoover's orgnization would make a good start toward a citizen spy system. Not for me.”Harry S. Truman1947
