In February 1962, Hoover told Attorney General Robert Kennedy that Stanley Levison, one of Kings closest advisors, was a secret member of the Communist Party (Hoover, 14 February 1962). In the following months, Hoover deployed agents to find subversive material on King, and Robert Kennedy authorized wiretaps on Kings home and Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) offices in October 1963.
Hoover responded to Kings criticisms of the Bureaus performance in civil rights cases by announcing at a press conference in November 1964, that King was the most notorious liar in the country (Herbers, Dr. King Rebuts Hoover). Surprised by the accusation, King replied that he could only have sympathy for Hoover as he must be under extreme pressure to make such a statement (Herbers, Dr. King Rebuts Hoover). King asked an intermediary to set up a meeting between himself and Hoover to understand what had led to the comment. Andrew Young, a King aide who was present at the meeting, recalled that there was not even an attitude of hostility between the two, but at about this same time, the FBI anonymously sent King a compromising tape recording of him carousing in a Washington, D.C., hotel room, along with an anonymous letter that SCLC staff interpreted as encouraging King to commit suicide to avoid public embarrassment (Senate Select Committee, 167).
Nothing “dubious” about the “allegation”. Levison was one of the CP’s top financiers, providing funding for CP Treasurer William Weiner and taking over Weiner’s position after Weiner’s death. King was also in contact with Hunter “Pitts” O’Dell, a Soviet agent for decades. Far from trying to “make MLK think he was not himself under investigation”, the Kennedys explicitly warned King that he was under investigation and advised him to stay away from these people, and King ignored them. That was in the early 60s, though; at the time this letter was written, prior to his October 1960 arrest, King was actually closer to VP Richard Nixon than he was the Kennedys, which makes his request to visit the USSR more interesting.
So,sort of like Comey meeting with Trump to tell him— he’s not being investigated. Because, of course, Trump was owned by the “Russians” right? Wrong. Because the Leftist Police State that was to empower hitlery had to make it so- it was and is required for their fraud to continue. There are, however, still sealed records that no-one is able to review, that justified the investigation to prevent a race war (the ultimate goal of the Comintern) from occurring.
This has been the point of all who have been trying to stop this cabal of Anti-Constitutional Statist academics (for whom the Poster is a water carrier, resting on laurels of the Anti-Reagan GHWBush and all of his spawn, including the incompetent George W. Bush, who kept us in 18 years of Middle East hell, all on the “advice” of another fraud Colin Powell) and of course... obamaumao, the Mahthah’s Vinyahd MA Marxist the current end of a long list of neo-Statist FDR Socialist proper elite of “owned” house servants— Vernon Jordan (Big Labor racketeer),Val Jarrett( chi-town slumlord and controller of obamaumao, a racist islamofascist of the first order), Henry L. Gates (racist bigot hahvahd prof.), Brooke and others.
