"During the course of our investigation, the OIG learned that [special agents] sometimes used photographs of young female support staff employees to pose as minor children or sex workers to entice sexual predators on various social media websites," Horowitz's memorandum said. "These employees were not certified [undercover agents] or [certified online covert employees]."

Yeah, we know what was going on.

The FBI needs to start running Stings on the FBI! The FBI will investigate the FBI and after thousands of 3 martini lunches in 5 star restaurants and weekends in cushy resorts investigative hours will report the FBI has no problems.

Why wouldn’t the FBI just use photos from prostitutes like those solicited by Obama’s Secret Service agents in South America? The taxpayers, through the government, already paid for those services.

There’s no low to low for the FBI to go.
And I was actually foolish enough to respect them in my naive past.
