The new FBI chief on Monday ordered all new agents and analysts to visit the national memorial to late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. as a reminder not to repeat the abuses of the U.S. investigative bureau's past.

Why not school them on the dangers of Democrat Administrations?

From an Internet source:

On October 10, 1963, U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy committed what is widely viewed as one of the most ignominious acts in modern American history: he authorized the Federal Bureau of Investigation to begin wiretapping the telephones of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. . . . .

Nixon? you ask? He talked about it and tried but how far did he get beyond composing an enemies list? on the other hand there's FDR, Kennedy, LBJ, Clinton, and Obama.

The Establishment in FDR's days did not go along and eventually stopped:

". . . one of the blackest marks on the record of American jurisprudence. In the legal world, none can recall a case where so many Americans were brought to trial for political persecution and were so arrogantly denied the rights [guaranteed] an American citizen under the Constitution.”
The Great Sedition Trial of 1944.

Do they have them listen to the tapes Hoover made of Dr. King’s bedroom “meetings”?

Maybe they can visit the grave of the kid brother Attorney General who ordered the FBI to wire tap King.

That would be Saint Bobby.

Will the FBI also require them to seek out blonde prostitutes for him too?
