We're talking about the US, right? And what, specifically, about J.E. Hoover? We're probably not going to argue that he was a bad guy. Whose presidential nomination or campaign did J.E. Hoover derail? And again, let's stipulate that this was a terrible, autocratic person who abused his decades-long position in office.

Not a presidential campaign, but Hoover was really not keen on MLK and spent a lot of effort attacking the civil rights campaign: http://time.com/3582004/fbi-letter-hoover-mlk/
