Ever since the earliest days of the FBI they've made a big deal about the 302s as the be all and end all of any investigation, on par with forensics.

IMHo, that's reason enough to believe the FBI has routinely edited and modified 302s to reflect whatever the case they were working required.

The entire idea of 302s needs to be done away with. Record the interview, and transcribe it, keeping both the transcription and tape. Anything else is just admitting you want to introduce fraud into the process. I know that if I were on a jury, I'd treat a 302 as nothing better than hearsay evidence.
