I've been wondering about this lately. Was the FBI ever good? Hoover was head of it when it was founded and led it for half a century or so. Seems like the FBI has always been a piece of shit extortion operation...
Hoover used it to black mail (secret files on anyone and everyone of prominence), but that was after a couple of years of starting. So basically it's been shit just shortly after inception
Member when the FBI was a respected org? I member.
That was a loooong time ago

Can you recommend a book or other source that you liked regarding the history of the FBI?
I vaguely remember....almost a mythical legend at this point
