Not quite. I haven’t read Tim Weiner’s book on the FBI (the one on the CIA was depressing enough) but he mentioned on the Daily Show plug for it, that Hoover broke with Nixon when Nixon asked him to tap not just “suspected radicals” but their friends and families. This is tapping everybody within even more degrees of separation. Oliver Stone’s version of the Snowden story showed the linkages branching way out and all of it under The Eye.
