what is really interesting here, beside the whole poppy bush in on killing jfk thing, is that apparently hoover was actually a white hat? I know he is often villanized in history. He was head of FBI and tried to protect the mafia (who were also in on killing jfk). So why would he make this memo in the first place, why leave a paper trail.

My theory is he was a good guy, but also gay, was being blackmailed with proof he was gay into being corrupt. But was secretly good and what he did was leave proof that could be used to take down corrupt people after his death, this being an example of that. However, he had files on everyone in DC, which was how he was able to stay in charge of the FBI for so long. I think it was an impasse. The rich, mafia, CIA etc couldn't get rid of him because of his blackmail material on them, and he couldn't get rid of real criminals like poppy and the mafia because they had gay blackmail material on him, so it was a stalemate, till he died. He went along wit hthings like COINTELPRO, but didn't really want to. His files were destroyed by his secretary when he died which is too bad, it might have been a cover story and they weren't destroyed just grabbed up by others and used to blackmail others till this day.

Hoover kept dirt on everyone for blackmail. Presidents, Congress, and judges feared him.

Hoover may be misunderstood. However, he was not a white hat.

I think he kept blackmail material for a good reason tho

You might be right. Intentions are notoriously difficult to interpret.

yeah but we know for a fact he left this memo . . . well maybe we don't and it's fake but it is well sourced. Why leave this memo. Why bother typing it up, why document facts that you want to be covered up, if J Edgar did want them covered up he was dumb to document this, but then if he was dumb why was he so good at other things like blackmailing people . . . who knows for sure. There is also the fact that J Edgar seems to be vilified by the MSM, and guys like Poppy Bush praised. That tells me the reality is the opposite, never trust MSM.

I think that it is most likely legit.
