The person have a name and title? Forcing people to click a link for something so obvious is stupid. If they want to read the article that is fine, but most want the red meat.

Complete waste of time. No name, no charges, no nothing. From the report:

The Senior FBI Official retired from the FBI prior to being contacted by the OIG for an interview. When later contacted by the OIG for a voluntary interview, the Senior FBI Official declined to be interviewed. The OIG has the authority to compel testimony from current Department employees upon informing them that their statements will not be used to incriminate them in a criminal proceeding. The OIG does not have the authority to compel or subpoena testimony from former Department employees, including those who retire or resign during the course of an OIG investigation.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE | OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL
INVESTIGATIVE SUMMARY | 21-096
Findings of Misconduct by a Then- Senior FBI Official for Having Numerous Unauthorized Contacts with the
Media, and for Accepting Unauthorized Gifts from Members of the Media
The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated this investigation upon the receipt of
records from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Insider Threat Unit, alleging that a then-Senior FBI Official had
numerous contacts with members of the media between January and November 2016 in violation of FBI policy. This
matter is among the OIG investigations referenced on page 430 of the OIG’s Review of
Allegations Regarding Various Actions by the Department and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) in Advance of the 2016 Election (June 2018;
https://oig.justice.gov/reports/review-various-actions-federal-bureau-investigation-and-department-justiceadvance-2016).
Subsequent to the onset of the investigation, the OIG found indications that the Senior FBI Official received items of
value from members of the media.
The OIG investigation substantiated the allegation that the Senior FBI Official had numerous unauthorized contacts with
the media from 2014 through 2016, in violation of FBI policy. In addition to substantive communications with reporters,
this media contact included unauthorized social engagements outside of FBI Headquarters involving drinks, lunches,
and dinners.
The OIG also found that the Senior FBI Official violated federal regulations and FBI policy when the Senior FBI Official
accepted tickets from members of the media to two black tie dinner events, one valued at $225 and the other valued at
$300, and received transportation to one event from a reporter, all without prior authorization.
The Senior FBI Official retired from the FBI prior to being contacted by the OIG for an interview. When later contacted
by the OIG for a voluntary interview, the Senior FBI Official declined to be interviewed. The OIG has the authority to
compel testimony from current Department employees upon informing them that their statements will not be used to
incriminate them in a criminal proceeding. The OIG does not have the authority to compel or subpoena testimony from

The members of the FBI, “the best of the best”?
Horse crap.
As long as the Clinton crime syndicate continues with NO jail time and the Biden crime family continues with NO jail time then the FBI is horse crap.
The members of the FBI are horse crap.

Any “leaker” in the FIB or ClownsInAmerica might be termed “whistleblowers”. Both should be splintered into a 1000 pieces and scattered into the winds.

Not a bad gig when you can violate FBI regulations, get caught, then retire without consequences to your liberty or your pension.

Yep, retires with full tax payer funded pension despite the fact he violated the terms of his contract with the taxpayers.

What exactly is an “unauthorized contact”?

Does the penalty for an “unauthorized contact” include an “ought not to have done that” reprimand?

They’re all criminals. Sorry, Hannity, but the majority are NOT “honorable”.

Corrupt. Our government is corrupt and I have little to no respect for it. Filthy, crooked, goons.

Yup, blame it on the retired guy. Guess there haven’t been any recently killed that they could pin it on.
