FBI Secrets: An Agent’s Expose
“There is something addicting about a secret. ... Edgar Hoover (1895-1972)
The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) began as an unnamed investigative force of the Justice Department in 1908, and its responsibilities widened considerably after J. ... Hoover remained the head director of the FBI up until his death on May 2, 1972. During the “Hoover Era” many crimes were committed against the Constitution by FBI agents with orders to do so by Hoover himself. Wes Swearingen served as an FBI agent from 1951 until he retired in 1977. During that period he perpetrated or witnessed numerous violations of law by FBI agents and their operatives, heard revealing statements by other agents about their illegal activities, and read files, which documented violations of the rights of American citizens. The activities of FBI agents and their "informers" include warrant less break-ins, theft, fraud, kidnapping, perjury, fabrication of evidence, suborning of witness perjury, and murder. The targets were political dissidents: anyone FBI agents didnt like. ... Bubbling over with patriotism, Swearingen submitted an application to join the FBI at his mother’s request. ...

Swearingen noted the truth that nothing had ever been mentioned of organized crime in FBI training. ... When the FBI attained warrants for their arrest, the two men fled Chicago. ... Swearingen accepted feeling he was privileged to have been asked, feeling it meant he had been accepted by the Chicago office, the FBI, and his idol, J. ... Swearingen would take place in thousands of black bad jobs during his twenty-five years he spent in the FBI. ...
On Tuesday, May 12, 1970, Swearingen checked into the Los Angeles FBI office. ... Swearingen was given a sabotage case, which was one of the FBI’s highest-priority cases and required a full field investigation and written report to the bureau within two weeks. ... ”
Because of Nolan’s idea of their being no Weathermen, the FBI was set back over six months due to lack investigations.
