Today’s FBI leadership seems to consist of a partnership between Democrat operatives and organized crime.
But I repeat myself.
Empower Oversight filed a FOIA request with the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Office of Inspector General (OIG) regarding a recently published investigative summary, which reported that in 2014, three high-level Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officials spent $2 million in government funds without proper authorization and then falsified official records to conceal their misconduct.
Specifically, a then-Special Agent in Charge (SAC) and two then-Assistant Special Agents in Charge (ASAC) purchased $2 million in “intellectual property related to a classified undercover operation” without authorization and in violation of FBI policy. In furtherance of the purchase, the ASAC’s failed to disclose accurate cash-on-hand figures, and the SAC “deliberately falsified a funding request,” both of which actions also violate FBI policy.
Before the investigation was completed, the SAC and one of the ASACs retired, and the second ASAC resigned.
The DOJ-OIG reported that prosecution of the three high-level FBI officials was declined and that it had provided a classified report to the FBI for whatever action it deemed appropriate.
Empower Oversight is seeking documents that would explain how the FBI’s internal control procedures failed to prevent the unauthorized $2 million purchase, whether the FBI conducted a criminal investigation into the matter, and why the DOJ did not prosecute these three individuals. Given the SAC’s senior level position with significant powers, authorities, and discretion, Empower Oversight also is seeking records that reveal the SAC’s identity and the regional office where the misconduct occurred.
Link fixed, sorry!
Quite the guessing game. “intellectual property related to a classified undercover operation”
Bribes, ostensibly to get someone to talk?
Alternately, with no paper trail, a great way to self-enrich.
whoops, forgot to close the italics. Sorry!
$2 million worth of intellectual property? Related to a classified undercover operation?
That’s Carnivore 2.0.

They busted that link pretty quickly, ehh?
At some point the FBI needs to be investigated by a special prosecutor who answers to neither the DOJ or WH.

Of course no one will be held accountable. We have a completely rogue National Deep State … beyond any oversight, check or balance
I’m sure there is an award for that.
Tell us again how the “rank and file” among the FBI are good and honorable agents.
