11. The Take

Pardon my WikiPedia, Esteemed Sir:

... J. Edgar Hoover. Because Hoover knew the pictures (of him engaged sexually with FBI #2 Clyde Tolson) existed, Cohn told Bonanno, Hoover feared being blackmailed. Other organized crime figures have supported that claim (as well as CIA Counter-Espionage Chief James Jesus Angleton)...

The Rosenberg trial brought the 24-year-old Cohn to the attention of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director J. Edgar Hoover. With support from Hoover and Cardinal Spellman, Hearst columnist George Sokolsky convinced Joseph McCarthy to hire Cohn as his chief counsel, choosing him over Robert F. Kennedy.[29][30] Cohn assisted McCarthy with his work for the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, becoming known for his aggressive questioning of suspected Communists. Cohn preferred not to hold hearings in open forums, which went well with McCarthy's preference for holding "executive sessions" and "off-the-record" sessions away from the Capitol to minimize public scrutiny and to question witnesses with relative impunity.[31] Cohn was given free rein in pursuit of many investigations, with McCarthy joining in only for the more publicized sessions.[32]
