What I said was that communist subversion was an actual and legitimate threat. Your attempt to characterize what you think is (or should be) my concern is just whataboutism, as you understand perfectly. Hoover et al didn’t “subvert” in the sense I’m using the term—just wordgames.

Hoover didn't "subvert"? Only if you assume holding up the government as it was then staffed and oriented--as opposed to ideals upon which it was ostensibly based--was the ultimate good. Because COINTELPRO, for example, was a hell of a subversion of principle.
