J. Edgar Hoover is named acting director of the Bureau of Investigation (now the FBI) on May 10, 1924. By the end of the year he was officially promoted to director. This began his 48-year tenure in power, during which time he personally shaped American criminal justice in the 20th century.
Hoover first became involved in law enforcement as a special assistant to the attorney general, overseeing the mass roundups and deportations of suspected communists during the Red Scare abuses of the late 1910s. After taking over the FBI in 1924, Hoover began secretly monitoring any activities that did not conform to his American ideal.
Hoover approved of illegally infiltrating and spying on the American Civil Liberties Union. His spies could be found throughout the government, even in the Supreme Court. He also collected damaging information on the personal lives of civil rights activists, including Martin Luther King, Jr.
While Hoover’s success at legitimate crime fighting was modest, his hold over many powerful people and organizations earned him respect and kept him in power. He was extremely successful at attracting attention and favorable press to the FBI. It wasn’t until after his death in 1972, right before the beginning of the Watergate scandal, that Hoover’s corruption became known.

How fitting, on Mother’s Day, for J.E.H., a momma’s boy if there ever was one.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Like almost every arrogant enforcer of the laws as created by man, in their mind their behavior is believed righteous and just.
In the beginning, maybe it is, and they really are.
Then the allure and addiction to power, even in the supposed fight against the evil they perceive, subsequently corrupts their own integrity, and they become the evil they supposedly work to eliminate, in a multitude of ways.
Snoops, spies, and suspicion.
Even recently, we need only listen to the pompous words of people like McCabe, Comey, and Strzok.
Lust for power, filthy lucre, and a failure to obey the laws and admonitions of a Higher Power lead to the downfall of man.
Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity?
Hardly.
The more things change,
The more they stay the same.
When judgement day comes, and judgement day is coming, some men will reap the punishment they so richly deserve.
Frustrated, with those who use evil for nefarious purposes?
Take solace, and read Psalm 37.
Enter thru the narrow gate, where the majority fail to go.
Keep the Faith, and
Spread the Good News.
Get right with Christ, and let Him worry about administering justice.
Vengeance is Mine, sayeth the Lord.
Alma 24:30
And thus we can plainly discern, that after a people have been once enlightened by the Spirit of God, and have had great knowledge of things pertaining to righteousness, and then have fallen away into sin and transgression, they become more hardened, and thus their state becomes worse than though they had never known these things.
“It wasn’t until after his death in 1972, right before the beginning of the Watergate scandal, that Hoover’s corruption became known.”
Yeah, kinda like nobody knew about Dennis Hastert’s skeletons until he was long gone from the house. Maybe some day we’ll also learn that Barky was gay and Big Mike was a tranny.
The beginning of one of the greatest shit shows on earth.
If there was ever a deserving person to be burned alive at the stake, he would certainly qualify. The stain of his treasonous actions lives on in virtually every FBI agent.
