The world's most dangerous file clerk.

Pretty good, but you failed to include Hoovers attack on Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X. Without Garvey there would be no Malcolm, Martin or Black Panther party. Hoovers attack on Black civil rights were relentless. He also did not destroy the KKK.

I had almost forgotten what unbiased narration was like. Excellent!

[eustacemason]

In my opinion, he was allowed to run his department without any oversight of his own actions

A while back I was looking for a quality channel to fall asleep to. I discovered this one only to be drawn into the stories of each individual. I’ve learned so much and find myself fascinated by people I would’ve deemed boring in my younger days. Thanks again for the hard work and neutral narrative. No biases, no personal opinions. Love the voice, and the intro always gets me a little giddy.

"It's probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in." lmaoooo

Hoover really was the ultimate swamp creature.

You could see the evilness in edgar hoover face besides his hypocrisy.

[danielsantiagourtado]

This channel has the BEST documentaries! Thanks

[michaelfrost]

Hoover was a control freak and a evil lowlife to me.

[manueldavidson]

John Edgar Hoover was such a notorious individual who was responsible for destroying the lives of so many people.

[joanfourie]

What did they think prohibition would do. Hysterical😂

[i.lungsmaras]

Here's waht I learned... America is a place that just doesn't allow FREE-THINKING and FREE-EXPRESSION... They just call it law and order and are rather good at glamourising it!!!

„The two often vacationing together alone.“

I’ve never „vacationed alone“ with a „room mate“. Only with my husband.

[howtomoscow]

When did Hoover start dressing up as a woman?

[arcofspira]

Excited to watch this one, thank you for another enlightening documentary.

[adtiamzon]

🇺🇸😎🤫 J. Edgar Hoover: Interesting. 🤔 Now we know. Thank you for sharing Hoover's life and career.

[ralphsimpson]

Hoover was a Crafty Butcher and a Chutney Ferret. and had the dope on many people.

[ministerofdarkness]

Hoover’s investigation and illegal surveillance of Dr. King should have had him prosecuted.
