Cash Pateland Donald TrumpThe FBI candidate said that he wants to dismantle the J. Edgar Hover building, the headquarters of the tangible castle in Washington, and to disperse 7,000 employees working there for offices throughout the country.
Patel can succeed in demolishing the historical building called the name Federal Director of the Federal Investigation Office. It was opened in 1974 and is now coming. An alternative site was already chosen in Maryland. But many critics of the next manager are concerned that Patel is concerned that it may return to the practices of the Hoover era, including unauthorized monitoring operations, the huge collection of personal data, harassment of dissidents, activists, and concerted political enemies.
Hoover held the position of Director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972 – the first 11 years of its former organization, the Bureau of Investigation – and the agency’s prophet from a small and mysterious ministry in the federal government to the frightening and developed security force today. Currently, the FBI budget is $ 10 billion and employ 33,000 workers, including 13,000 private agents and 20,000 support employees.
Hoover became a national hero in the 1930s and forties of the last century, when the FBI seized notorious criminals such as John Delling, Boy Boy Floyd and Kelly fennel, and collected dozens of Nazi spies during World War II.
But his legacy is completely different today. Most historians are now Hoover as racist and racist. He belonged to public white superiority as a law student at George Washington University; Perhaps it was not a coincidence that the FBI remained 99 % of the eggs, all of whom were males until the death of Hoover in 1972. He was severely deprived of his independence, and he served under seven presidents, none of them dared to shoot him – perhaps because they fear what was In his huge files. He collected huge rules of information about the members of the Senate, members of Congress and other public figures, and Saleh Carrey with Franklin Roosevelt and Lindon Johnson, among others, by sharing gossip about their political competitors. Sometimes, he performed secret eavesdropping or monitoring his superiors.
Although Hoover has officially lived a humble salary in a small house in Washington, not far from the place where he was born and grew up, he continued his income with speaking fees and gifts from fans and free travel. With enthusiastic gambles in horse racing, it was rumored that he had tips from the path officials, and perhaps one of the reasons that are considered “soft” in following up the organized crime.
In the fifties of the last century, the Communist Party targeted the United States of America for Special Auditing, and by the end of this decade, an estimated 1500 party members of the party of 10,000 or the like of the informants at the FBI. Historians estimate that the FBI collected files over 10 million Americans; Among them, 20,000 are considered “sabotage” and are subject to detention in the event of an emergency. After the Korean war erupted in 1950, Hoover offered to link up to 10,000 individuals immediately; President Harry Truman felt terrified and rejected the idea.
Hoover’s racism and anti -communist madness resulted in his famous revenge against Dr. Martin Luther King Junior. He was convinced that the Soviet Union was organizing the civil rights movement and that the king was a Communist agent. Obsessed with the destruction of King’s reputation, Hoover is to break the King’s Home and Hotel rooms, and collect the rollers of the tape that document the affairs of the leader outside of marriage. His agents sent death threats to King and contacted him via my phone. Shortly before the assassination of the king in 1968, the FBI sent a package to his wife, Koreita Scott King, who contains tape records of his sexual escape.
Hoover maintained these and other illegal actions, and his reputation remained largely sound until the 1975 legendary listening sessions held by Senator Frank Cherish, a democratic in the state of Idaho. In the wake of the Watergate scandal and the resignation of Richard Nixon, the church committee’s sessions revealed many rogue activities of the FBI and the CIA. Among the most exciting and disturbing results, the many assassinations of the CIA against Cuban leader Fidel Castro were.
After listening to the church, Prosecutor Edward Levy published a new and tougher set of guidelines for the FBI. According to the FBI managers, including William, Weester and Robert Muller, they were closely followed. James Comey, director of the FBI, launched by Trump in 2017, in his office, a letter framed to the Federal Investigation Office asking the cousin on Dr. King. It was called “reminding the office’s ability to make a mistake.”

In an interview with the New York Times, Professor Yale Beverly Gage, the author of the famous 2023 biography “Hoover”Can“The founding director” was “horrific” in Trump’s nomination of Cash Patel. Jag said that she found the most exciting side of fear was to be Patel for Trump. Enemies, “Gig
The clear question here is to what extent Patel wants to go. Will he ignore the agency’s instructions and seek to persecute the citizens whom Trump considers the enemies?
James Komei, director of the FBI, launched a letter of the FBI, asking the phone calls to Dr. King in his office, “reminding the office’s ability to make a mistake.”
In 2023, Patel published a book entitled “Government gangstersThe “FBI described” a tool for monitoring and suppressing American citizens “and” one of their strong and powerful arms in the deep state. To “Democracy” that the FBI used to target conservatives and persecution. At the end of the book, Patel included an attachment to name 50 current or ex -US officials, which he described as “members of the executive branch Deep Stayte.” This list included Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Bill Bar, John Bolton, Christopher Ray, James Kumi And General Mark Millie.
In his first confirmation session on January 30, Patel denied that the list of names was the list of enemies, describing it as “just a radical.”
“I have no interest, no desire, and if it is confirmed, if it is confirmed,” Patel told Sennousers. “There will be no politicization in the FBI. There will be no crowded procedures by any FBI.”
Representative Jimmy Raskin, DMD, a member of the House of Representatives Judicial Committee, was not convinced. He described Patel as a “dangerous choice” with a “strict commitment to the rule of law”, which seemed ready to “oppose silence.”
Under the current law, the Director of the FBI, the prosecutor, is the recently confirmed Bam Bondi. It will be in a position to reduce the new outlet activities.
If Patel has already conducting secret monitoring of innocent American citizens and persecution that Donald Trump’s enemies consider, he will mimic (consciously or otherwise) c. Edgar Hoover. If the United States constitution is followed and adheres to the FBI’s guidance, the dark days of the secret and revenge era will remain in the past.
