Yeah that was your JFK/RFK FBI. They were certainly running illegal
wire taps and doing other things against the constitution. Maybe that
was when I started distrusting the government.
There is nothing like seeing a transcript of a phone conversation you
recognize and be identified as "unnamed adolescent" when you are
14-15.
MLK had the same experience.


The FBI was a rogue outfit long before JFK became POTUS.

You are starting to distrust the government, my work is done here ;-)


You're projecting...again.


When you distrust the parts of the government that has the guns (the
military and the FBI) you are distrusting the power of government
because everyone else just gives you lip service. insert white house
intern joke here

I don't think they were targeting innocent people as much earlier but
I agree they always had a hazy understanding of the constitution
through the FDR, Truman and Eisenhower days.
When you look at what they did in the 30s it is disgusting, based on
current thinking.
Warrantless searches, torture and assassination were common.
