Im old enough to recall when J Edgar would call an agent on the carpet for not wearing a white shirt and taking off his sport/suit coat even in the heat and heat of battle.
“BUT Hoover was gay and a cross dresser”.
Incredible but I’ve even heard a few Freepers repeat that lie. Just a little bit of searching and I found the origin of that. It was a KGB clandestine smear campaign. 💯 fabricated.
The FBI was kicking the American communists ass so hard under Hoover they created that plan. Sent orders to their agents who then disseminated rumors to the useful leftist idiots in the US media.
It was so effective many still believe it.
