It's worse than we could ever imagine:

The FBI was established to keep tabs on FDRs friends and enemies. Thru the
LBJ years and before they operated a conference center cum motel in So MD,
complete with bugged rooms, secret passages and 2-way mirrors. New
congressmen invited to power conferences would find themselves the targets
of beautiful groupies who plied them with drink and more then took them to
rooms and screwed their brains out while FBI cameras and recorder rolled.
Thereafter, when FDR or LBJ needed votes on an issue the congressmen would
be reminded of these indiscressions. Did you really think FBI's purpose is
law enforcement? Bwahahaha. If so, you've been watching too many
propaganda movies.
