Long before Edgar Hoover stepped down as FBI Director, Donnie wanted Rhode Granger to take up the post, but was rejected by the then U.S. Attorney General, John Sargent.
And he appointed his own confidant as the FBI Director.
However, John Sargent clearly underestimated Rhode Granger's influence within the FBI, and in less than a year, Rhode Granger had sidelined Sargent's confidant.
During this period, some frictions occurred between the parties, but eventually, they were easily resolved by Rhode Granger.
This situation also led to a continuously tense relationship between Donnie and John Sargent.
Yet both sides had their reservations, so even if frictions occurred, they remained within a manageable scope for both of them.
