**SNIP**

As early as November 2012, an FBI wiretap request noted that the investigation team’s leader had concerns about the agent. But according to the filing, an FBI “review has not resulted in any formal findings or determinations regarding the credibility of [the agent].”

In early 2013, according to the filing, the agent was no longer involved in the case, but there is no clear explanation as to why.

Still, the filing said there was a “series of outrageous behavior” on the part of the agent that might explain why he was removed.

That behavior included arranging $20,000 or more in donations to local elected officials in 2012, looking into hosting a fundraiser of $250,000 for a senior federal elected officials, and meetings with a “prominent former athlete” in 2012 in order to talk about a hotel deal.

The FBI would not comment on the filing Thursday.

Uh, oh. I smell a fix.

He was TOO productive…? Probably.

“No, man, good job —really good..! We, uh…just want you to, uh….ease off a bit, maybe..? Just because….”

Are the FBI unionized federal employees, too? This would explain a lot regarding this situation.

An alternative explanation: when it started to look like things were going Really Bad for the congressman, they sent in the WORST agent (or a really good sacrificial “fixer”), in order to sabotage any trial.

Thanks Libloather.

Yee should be hanged.
