The reality is it began years earlier, in 1908, under President Theodore Roosevelt. In Teddy Roosevelt, the Secret Service, and the Birth of the FBI, Willard Oliver details the political fight that led to the birth of America's premier law enforcement agency. Roosevelt was concerned about conservation and one issue he wanted enforced were the fraudulent land deals being perpetrated by many people, including some members of Congress. When he began using the Secret Service to investigate these crimes, Congress blocked him from doing so. The end result of this political spat was Roosevelt's creation of the FBI, which heightened the political row between the two branches of government in the final year of Roosevelt's presidency.
The truth of the matter is, the premier law enforcement agency in the United States was actually created because of a political fight between the executive and legislative branches of government. Teddy Roosevelt, the Secret Service, and the Birth of the FBI reveals the true story behind the birth of the FBI and provides some useful insight into an important part of our American history.”
