However Hoover had a darker side, during his time in his position, on multiple occasions he abused his power. There are reports of him blackmailing politicians, unfairly (and sometimes illegally) persecuting political dissidents (most famously [http://real-life-heroes-and-good-guys.wikia.com/wiki/Martin_Luther_King_Jr. Martin Luther King Jr]). Other cases include falsely framing Ma Barker as a crime boss, to cover up her being killed in a crossfire, with a shootout with the Barker Gang. He also ruined the careers and reputations of several other agents, such as Melvin Purvis so he could claim the credit for the there work himself. There were also other rumors of he himself being blackmailed by the mob.

Some conspiracy theorists speculated that he was involved in the [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy]] or helped cover up the trail of the real killers and have [[Lee Harvey Oswald]] framed for the assassination. However, there is little, if any, hard evidence to back up these theories.

However, one thing is for certain; after Kennedy was shot, Hoover called the President`s brother Robert F. Kennedy. The two men had a long-standing enmity. Hoover said: "The President`s been shot." Before RFK could ask any questions, Hoover put the phone down. There was no element of empathy. RFK later said Hoover had enjoyed telling him.
