Under J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI illegally performed "Black Bag" jobs, breaking
into properties and performing illegal search and photography missions, in violation
of the Constitution. It was ordered illegal in 1972 by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Robert S. Mueller
It's amazing that all these years later, under former President,
George W. Bush and FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller, the FBI still did "Black Bag"
jobs on private residences. Some things never change. Let's hope Obama
discontinues the practice.
William Steele Sessions
Another instance of history repeating itself: FBI Director Robert S. Mueller
misusing the FBI
for political, social and financial gain. Former FBI Director, William Steele Sessions,
abused his post as well and was fired for it.
