Top FBI official let romantic relationship ‘disrupt workplace,’ report finds
New York Post ^ | July 24, 2021 | Samuel Chamberlain

A senior FBI official violated the bureau’s policy by failing to report a romantic relationship with a subordinate in a timely manner and by taking part in a personnel decision involving her paramour, the Justice Department’s inspector general found this week.

An executive summary of the report by Michael Horowitz made public Thursday did not name the official. However, The Washington Post, citing current and former law enforcement officials, identified her as Jill Tyson, the assistant director of the bureau’s Office of Congressional Affairs since February 2019.

In addition to the policy violation, Horowitz found that Tyson allowed her relationship to “negatively affect an appropriate and professional superior-subordinate relationship and to disrupt the workplace by interfering with the ability of other FBI employees to complete their work.” FBI Inspector General Michael Horowitz, released a report on July 22, 2021 that an FBI official failed to disclose a relationship with a subordinate.

The report also found that Tyson “participated in a hiring or organizational decision involving the subordinate,” also in violation of FBI policy.

The summary does not suggest that Tyson harassed or mistreated her subordinate. The Washington Post reported that the person was transferred to another part of the bureau after Tyson reported the relationship.

Tyson joined the FBI in 2018 after holding a number of positions in the Justice Department, including deputy assistant attorney general in the Office of Legislative Affairs, chief spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons and special assistant US attorney for Washington, DC prosecuting criminal matters.

In her current position, Tyson manages all FBI interactions with Congress, a job that has brought her in close contact with bureau Director Christopher Wray. The Washington Post reported that Wray “likes and trusts” Tyson

In 1967 an FBI agent gave me a lie detector test at Fort Bragg, NC re: My TS security clearance. I admitted I knew fiends who stole surfboards when we were teens. I got no TS then.

In June 68 I got an ITS (interim) to serve in MACVSOG. The 5th Group CO asked me if had I killed or robbed anyone? No. I got my permanent TS after 90 days on the interim. The FBI was the real deal back then.

assistant director of the bureau’s Office of Congressional Affairs

She thought she was SUPPOSED to be having affairs. So unfair.

“ Jill Tyson, the assistant director of the bureau’s Office of Congressional Affairs….”

She was expected to have affairs with Congressmen, see? Not other agents.

Interfering with the ability of other FBI employees to complete their work.

Office of Congressional AFFAIRS.
And then consider the old meaning of “congress” (sexual congress).
So this agent (for whom Sean Hannity will likely vouch) was just doing her job.
We live in a First World Banana Republic?

“...and to disrupt the workplace by interfering with the ability of other FBI employees to complete their work...”

That’s a good thing!
