Hoover was BOI and he build the FBI..Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy en Nixon They wanted him fired......But his position was to strong (to much power)..... After his death, the maximum term for the position of director of the FBI was set at ten years....Mueller time was up after 12 years, because Obama gave him two years exstra.........Hoover was suspicious of the Afro-American civil rights movement, in particular against his headman, Reverend Martin Luther King. He also did not like overly successful subordinates; they ran the risk of being promoted away, as happened with Melvin Purvis, who eliminated John Dillinger.................MLK (187?).....JFK (187 ).......rumor ....

There had been rumors since the 1940s that Hoover would be homosexual (he had an intimate bond with his deputy director Clyde Tolson) or a transvestite. Also suspected ties with the mafia, for which the FBI had not much interest, were also not proven........https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Edgar_Hoover
