the FBI also looked the other way as organized crime took down some of our most beloved leaders

[fasttense]

Because J. Edgar Hoover was being blackmailed by them. Organized crime was responsible for the murder of JFK, MLK and Bobby. All the while our FBI did absolutely nothing about the murders. J. Edgar was scared to death that organized crime leaders would reveal his cross dressing secret. I would feel sorry for J. Edgar except that his efforts to keep his sex life secret ended in so much misery for others and this country.
