Let’s be honest and say that others in political office have done the same thing
MLK was investigated/taped/blackmailed by the FBI *Hoover hated him
Hoover also had secret info on others including the President and Bobby Kennedy
One reason why Hoover was the most feared man in America—
Nixon went after his political opponents and made up stuff to use if there wasn’t anything real
He did that with his first opponent in CA congressional race—Helen Douglas—and never stopped
He instigated the Watergate Burglary to get dirt on Muskie, his Democratic rival...
LBJ had enough dirt on anyone who wouldn’t come along quietly that his threat had meaning
There is nothing new in Trump and Barr using the DOJ to go after political opponents
What is NEW is the brazen nature of their actions, in prime time and w/o any half hearted efforts to act like they aren’t doing it...
That is what makes them more like Facists leaders in other countries, other regimes...the brazenness...
