Why did Lyndon Johnson extend Hoover's tenure beyond the mandatory retirement age?
Lyndon Johnson extended J. Edgar Hoover's tenure as FBI director beyond the mandatory retirement age primarily due to Hoover's significant influence and the political capital he wielded. Johnson valued Hoover's expertise in law enforcement and his ability to maintain stability within the FBI during a tumultuous period in American history, particularly amid civil rights movements and increasing crime rates. Additionally, Hoover's extensive history and established connections made him a key figure in Johnson's administration, despite concerns about his controversial methods and overreach.
