One of the high points of my life was to study journalism with Betty Medsger and the rest of the great faculty at San Francisco State between 1986 and 1989.

He was a mafia puppet they had pictures off him dressing as a women and bn gay

[@burgerkillsyou]

I wouldn’t describe him as a puppet. The blackmail basically became a mutual agreement to leave each other alone. It was more of a disgruntled alliance rather than Hoover simply being a puppet. Hoover used the mafia for dirty work all the time.

Proof that the public as formed into government should not entertain fools. Why do we keep having to learn this lesson. Sadly, less obvious fools always have use for the more overt among us.

Hoover is in new Scorcese movie so maybe more theories about him are in that.
