I understand that FDR's first choice for Attorney general did NOT like Hoover. He died - slightly misteriously I think- before taking office.
If Hoover had been sacked as director of the Bureau of Investigation would his talents have still allowed him to be a malevalent influence on America?
Without Hoover's PR would there be anything like the FBI. Would that have hurt America in the spy war both against Hitler and Stalin?
Without Hoover with there have been the anti communist hysteria that America experienced (Noting that European states under far more threat did NOT experience anything resembling "McCarhthyism"?
