Federal Bureau of Investigation
From Xiandos Info
(Redirected from FBI)
The Bureau was renamed the United States Bureau of Investigation on July 1, 1932. One year later on July 1, 1933, it was linked with the Bureau of Prohibition and became known as the Division of Investigation.
In 1935, the bureau was renamed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
After J. Edgar Hoover's death, the FBI imposed a policy limiting the tenure of future FBI directors to a maximum of ten years.

[edit] Interesting FBI arrests
- 2003-11-13: (KATU News) "Bank robbers might have been home grown terrorists"
- Just before sentencing Springmeier told the judge that the government had destroyed his life. (brown)
- Rebuttal To The KATU News Report Regarding My Husband, Fritz Springmeier
- If the Government is trying to ruin my life, they will have to try harder." (blue)
- "The paraphrased statement (brown text) is a fiction that was attributed to the same man--my husband, Fritz Springmeier--by Eric Mason of KATU News (the local CBS affiliate) and John Stevens of International News in their KATU News report. How Mason and Stevens sat together in the courtroom, right behind me, with notebooks and pens in hand and yet bungled so audible a statement is beyond my comprehension. For the purpose of this rebuttal, KATU's statements will be in brown and my response will be in blue."
