there are 33850 people working for the FBI and most all of them are doing their jobs, quite well.
Scandals and the FBI concerning poor judgement, lies, and obfuscation run rampant. You can focus on anything, and find that the truth is often the hardest thing to find in an FBI investigation. Take their interviews for example. They don’t record them. So the only record of what is said during the interview, is the Agent’s notes. Despite the fact that every Police Department with more than one officer has video and audio recording in the interview rooms. The FBI doesn’t want a record. That allows the Agents to adjust the narrative. They’ve been caught many times where the notes of Agents do not even come close to agreeing.
Scientific Analysis? When the FBI begins a Scientific Analysis of a crime scene, you expect the famed FBI Lab to be accurate. But they make the tests up, and report on the results, and the test itself is essentially the equivalent of Alchemy. Lead Matching? Photographic Body Matching when the faces are obscured? Hair Matching? Fiber Matching? All of these were pioneered by the FBI, and all have been utterly discredited.
Even established evidence gathering techniques are screwed up royally by the FBI.
U.S. To Pay $2M For False Terror Arrest
The “suspect” was able to prove he was no where near the Madrid Bombing. He never left the Country, he didn’t leave the state. He had witnesses, including Video, which showed he was in the city. Surveillance video included. But the FBI didn’t believe any of that. They’re too smart to fall for that sort of trick. Their Lab positively matched the Fingerprint. Of course, the Cops in Spain, Interpol, and just about everywhere else knew it was a Terrorist from Morocco. But that isn’t going to dissuade the FBI. They know better.
The FBI lied about the Bundy deal, they screwed up the Cruz Parkland deal, they lie and screw up daily, but are somehow respected. Why? Hollywood. Hollywood makes them out to be brilliant investigators who are always closing in on their man. Sorting through the smoke to find the smoldering embers of truth.
If I was on a Jury, and the Agent of the FBI swore he knew that the Defendant was the bad guy, I’d be doubtful. Because the FBI has a long and continuing history of ignoring laws, rules, standards, and even competence.
