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.
In 1936, US President Franklin Roosevelt told Hoover that he was interested in "obtaining a broad picture" of communist and fascist movements in USA. Hoover took this as authorization to launch a large programme of surveillance of US citizens it interest, which he was to exploit widely for purposes of blackmail.[2] He was an accomplished and feared blackmailer who collected material not only on criminals but on anyone he deemed might be useful, including political dissenters, activists and political leaders.[3]

Mark Gorton suggests that Edgar Hoover was a key perpetrator of the JFK Assassination and in the subsequent cover-up, writing that "with RFK as attorney general, J Edgar Hoover of the FBI could no longer protect the mob."[4]

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. Truman | 1947 |
