The FBI has been spying on people waaaaaaaaay before Comey.
Yes, I wish he would release all the MLK files, as nasty as they may be. This is a PC beyond reason political climate, but this revelation, if true, is something that clearly "disqualifies": MLK from any kind of moral authority., laughing over a real time rape. And the FBI just sat there, eavesdropping? I know they sent him a letter telling him he might as well kill himself, what a thing to say to an ordained minister, even if he was a big philanderer, and MLK certainly was. Abernathy, no big liar, said MLK was with two hookers the night before he was shot and that was par for the course for King.
But I'm not so sure about him and the rape cheering - the guy who wrote this is the kind of writer that will say anything to sell a book and he wrote one years ago about King that just about turned him into a saint. Garrow says this but the word of a self-described "democratic socialist" professor doesn't cut it. Those files need to be declassified.
