Nixon's Eulogy at Hoover's Funeral

Roxanne Jones: Richard Nixon and J. Edgar Hoover had a long friendship in Washington, where they would socialize with each other. She says the two men were plotting to oust Hoover as director of the FBI before he died. In 1971, Cointel Pro was exposed by anti-war activists who stole reams of files from an FBI field office; this is how it all unraveled. Jones: Both presidents knew that if their secret plan for stepped up domestic espionage was ever revealed, it would be a scandal.
