“Any time I had a rich guy in town, my secretary called her to see if she could go out. She told me that of all the people she had met … the nicest one was Congressman Jerry Ford [R-Mich.]. [FBI Director] J. Edgar Hoover could not find out the happenings when the Warren Commission was investigating the killer of President Kennedy. … J. Edgar Hoover could not find out what they were doing. So, he had this tape where Jerry Ford was having oral sex with Ellen Rometsch. You know, his wife had a serious drug problem back then. … Hoover blackmailed … Ford to tell him what they were doing. That’s the reason I don’t like him. It’s just a misuse of authority.”15

Laws were meant to be broken. Hoover made sure of that.

on my list of Shit I Didn't Ever Want To Know.

The words "Gerald Ford" and "oral Sex" should never appear within a parsec of each other.

Used his position, in more ways than one.

Based on the evidence, it was conspiracy. That means parties unknown got away with assassination.

Gee. I wonder who that might be, with the rich richer than ever off BFEE wars for profit. What was JFK doing different from Dulles brothers?

I love this kind of insider stuff. I'm sure it's even worse today than it was then with the payoffs and corruption. A damn shame the labor leaders don't have as much influence anymore.
