“We want no Gestapo or Secret Police. F. B. I. is trending in that direction.” - Harry S Truman)
It is not at all proper for courts to try to make laws or to read law school theories into the law and policy laid down by the Congress.
We want no Gestapo or Secret Police. F.B.I. is tending in that direction. They are dabbling in sex life scandles [sic] and plain blackmail, when they should be catching criminals.
May 12, 1945 | Harry S. Truman
