Never been a fan of his and never will but...
Could you imagine what would happen if the orange shithead accused Hoover's FBI of treason for investigating him?

(86,332 posts)I think that, even as messed up as he was, he would have considered -45 too disgustingly filthy for the seat. Though I do agree that he would have loved to have had a puppet in the Oval Office.
He, at least, had some sense of humanity, not much but some... at least.

There is a book called The SS, alibi of a nation Hoover and McCarthy were the alibi of the Republican Red Scare dirty tricks department and nothing has changed since then.
