Some time after 1940 have J Edgar Hoover impeached, convicted and removed from office as FBI Director.
If possible have him ruined and jailed too
Any takers?
After 1940, only? Because you might do it pretty early.
Have a reporter notice him apparently giving money to an aide to place a bet on a horse. The horse, a longshot, wins. The reporter investigates & finds the race was fixed, & Hoover has won on fixed races before. Nobody believes Hoover is fixing races...but it's uncovered
Mafioso Frank Costello
is--& Walter Winchell is getting tips from him: tips he's passing on to Hoover.
This is at the same time Hoover is publicly & vociferously denying the existence of the
Mafia...
(BTW, all this is OTL:


it just never came out.

)
Charge him with taking bribes? (Winchell for aiding & abetting?) Or just boot Hoover?
Who replaces Hoover? Anslinger (BuNarcotics)?
