J. Edgar Hoover - The FBI, the FBI, and the Church Committee

There were always some Hoover haters. They were mostly on the left because he also hated the left. But one of the amazing things about doing this research was the discovery of just how popular and just how widely supported he was for most of his career. He's a hugely popular figure all across the political spectrum. And so that really begins to change in the 60s and then into the early 70s up to the moment of his death.
