For 48 years, from 1924 to 1972, J. Edgar Hoover served, as first the head of the Bureau of Investigation and then the head of its successor, the FBI. For almost 50 years one man was in control of the nations domestic intelligence gathering and surveillance apparatus. 50 years is a long time to get up to some real shady shit and get up to it J. Edgar did. The nation's "top cop" used his department to gather dirt on everyone, politicians (yes including sitting presidents), entertainers, civil rights leaders, and basically anyone who did anything that didn't fit J. Edgar's idea of America. From the Kennedy assassination, MLK Jr. threats, and chasing anything he thought smelled of communism, we try to cover it all.
