Boggs Sees FBI Spying Undermining Liberty
House Democratic Leader Hale Boggs accuses the FBI of secret spying and creeping thought control, urging Hoover's resignation. He cites tapped phones of congressmen and a private line he says was hacked, while DOJ and FBI deny the charges. The debate runs two hours as Boggs cites Hoover’s earlier actions against King and Kissinger. He warns apathy masks a widening surveillance reach over words and thoughts. The excerpt also includes a weather note and an odd fragment about a hoss girl on a leash.
