I flew to President Johnson's Texas ranch and asked him to help put a stop to it. I think that he did, but such was Hoover's power I cannot be sure that even the president had the courage to do so.

LBJ sure had enough guts to tell Hoover to wiretap Barry Goldwater and 4 years later Richard Nixon.

And I don't buy the crap the Bobby Kennedy was squmeish about tapping King. Bobby Kennedy was a first class prick and would play any dirty trick if it could help him. He was not the "Saint Bobby" the mainstream created.

Bobby Kennedy used the IRS to attack his political enemies list as well. Living in Mass years ago, I met several of his victims.
