The “Legacy” of J. Edgar Hoover and the Federal Bureau of Investigation

I greatly enjoyed reading today Ryan McMaken’s superb article, End the FBI.

Famed attorney Robert Barnes recently provided an exceptional in-depth retrospective history of FBI deep state corruption, politicalization, and weaponization from its inception to the present. This is an outstanding, must-see presentation before the Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar.

And lastly an Establishment apologia or defense of the conventional narrative on Hoover and the FBI from an implanted deep state adjunct. Mark Tooley is president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy and editor of IRD’s foreign policy and national security journal, Providence: A Journal of Christianity & American Foreign Policy. He worked eight years for the Central Intelligence Agency and is a graduate of Georgetown University. In 1994 he joined IRD to found its United Methodist project (UMAction) and became IRD President in 2009.
