I call it generally a dark, malignant corner of intelligence.

Herbert Hoover blackmailed people forever.

I mean, he had files on everybody.

I mean, he had files on Frank Sinatra.

He had files on JFK.

He had files on RFK.

I mean, he had files on just about everybody that he didn't like.

And even people that he liked, he had files on.

So with him, he was blackmailing people for years.

And according to Evelyn Lincoln, who was JFK's secretary, and people dispute this,

But according to her, Kennedy did not want Johnson on the ticket in 1960 when he ran for president.

But Hoover blackmailed him into taking Johnson on.

And was going to expose one of his affairs or something?

JFK had a lot to expose.

Yeah.

Now, some people say that that's true.

Some people say it's not, but it's entirely possible.

Given the dynamics of JFK and given the dynamics of Jagger Hoover, I think it's entirely possible.

He all of a sudden starts to run this credit union that's for lower socioeconomic people in northern Omaha.

He starts living in really expensive homes.
