Hoover may not have been a closet case or cross dresser but he certainly was not a ladies man, either. Is there really such a thing as an asexual guy? Perhaps. Another asexual guy becoming so close to another asexual guy like Clyde Tolson? If I were a betting man I’d put money on Hoover and Tolson being repressed homosexuals or romantically involved closet cases (and I’m not a communist).
I think you’re pretty close to the truth.
Wow! We have a full stable of fortune tellers today.
