Why did Senator Richard Russell and Allen Dulles have confidence in J. Edgar Hoover (JEH) when Robert Kennedy thought he was “psycho?”
In Arthur Schlesinger’s book, Robert Kennedy And His Times, we see the following comments attributed to Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) regarding the FBI and JEH.

Forty years later Anthony Lewis asked Robert Kennedy whether he thought Hoover a nasty person or truly dangerous. “No”, Kennedy replied. “I think he is dangerous.” (Interview with Anthony Lewis 1964)
“He’s rather a psycho,” he told John Bartlow Martin, “…I think it’s a very dangerous organization…and I think he’s…become senile and rather…frightening.” (Interview with John Bartlow Martin, 4/13/64 as cited in Robert Kennedy And His Times, by Arthur Schlesinger, p. 260; Also covered in Secrecy and Power, by Richard Powers, p. 397)

RFK worked with JEH on a much closer basis (he was his boss) than Senator Russell or Allen Dulles, thus, he had a much better idea of his character and methods. RFK mentioned that JEH constantly sent things to him about him or his family as a reminder that he had access to all the information. This implied to RFK that JEH was saying he could keep it quiet or not based on how he was treated. In other words, he was reminding the Kennedys who was really in charge.
Now, if he was willing to keep things quiet that affected the Kennedys, and perhaps others, based on how he was treated, why is it a stretch to assume he would keep other secrets quiet if he was treated right? This along with his own character flaws made JEH an easy man to control IMO.
Can any WC defender explain why a “dangerous organization” headed by a “psycho” was deciding for us who killed JFK so fast?
I think we again see evidence in this post that calls into question the conclusion of the WC because they were told the outcome before they even started and showed no interest or initiative to find answers and follow leads that did NOT point to the final outcome decided on BEFORE they even begun.
