Oh yes, J. Edgar Hoover was a corrupt son of a bitch. He denied the existence of the mafia for decades. He did so because he was a Mafia man. Just like Mueller and Comey:
It seemed at first, before the Second World War, that Hoover would clamp down on the mob. Then, abruptly, he turned off the pressure. In the 50s, he actively obstructed the Kefauver Committee, which concluded there was indeed "a nationwide crime syndicate known as the Mafia". Not so, said Hoover. When a 1958 report by his own agents also said the Mafia was real, he dismissed it as "baloney". The FBI would take vigorous action only very belatedly, in the 1960s, under pressure from Attorney General Robert Kennedy.
Former officials I interviewed, including three former attorney generals and several former assistant directors of the FBI, were at a loss to explain why Hoover refused to tackle the threat of organised crime. "Hoover's attitude," said Neil Welch, a senior former agent who eventually distinguished himself fighting the Mafia, "was so contrary to reality as to be a reason for great speculation."
Hoover himself, it is now clear, had contacts with organised criminals or their associates in circumstances that made it possible – likely even – that they learned of his sexual proclivities. More than one top mobster claimed the outfit had a hold on Hoover. Meyer Lansky, the syndicate's co-founder, was said to have "pictures of Hoover in some kind of gay situation" and an associate quoted Lansky as claiming, "I fixed that sonofabitch." Carmine Lombardozzi, who was known as "the Italian Meyer Lansky", said: "J Edgar Hoover was in our pocket."

Mueller's ties to Burger
:
Boston Globe noted Robert Mueller’s connection with the [organized crime boss] Whitey Bulger case in an article entitled, “One Lingering Question for fbi Director Robert Mueller.” The Globe said this:
[Mike] Albano [former parole board member who was threatened by two fbi agents for considering parole for the men imprisoned for a crime they did not commit] was appalled that, later that same year, Mueller was appointed fbi Director, because it was Mueller, first as an Assistant U.S. Attorney then as the Acting U.S. Attorney in Boston, who wrote letters to the parole and pardons board throughout the 1980s opposing clemency for the four men framed by fbi lies. Of course, Mueller was also in that position while Whitey Bulger was helping the fbi cart off his criminal competitors even as he buried bodies in shallow graves along the Neponset…

The FBI is and always has been in the thrall of the Mafia. They are literally the Mafia with badges.
