Washington (CNN) -- An FBI employee shared confidential information with his girlfriend, who was a news reporter, then later threatened to release a sex tape the two had made.

A supervisor watched pornographic videos in his office during work hours while "satisfying himself."

And an employee in a "leadership position" misused a government database to check on two friends who were exotic dancers and allowed them into an FBI office after hours.

These are among confidential summaries of FBI disciplinary reports obtained by CNN, which describe misconduct by agency supervisors, agents and other employees over the last three years.

Read the FBI documents obtained by CNN




-- An employee had "a sexual relationship with a source" over seven months. The punishment was a 40-day suspension.
-- The supervisor who viewed "pornographic movies in the office while sexually satisfying himself" during work hours received a 35-day suspension.
-- The employee in a "leadership position" who misused a "government database to conduct name checks on two friends who were foreign nationals employed as exotic dancers" and "brought the two friends into FBI space after-hours without proper authorization" received a 23-day suspension. The same employee had been previously suspended for misusing a government database.
-- An employee who was drunk "exploited his FBI employment at a strip club," falsely claiming he was "conducting an official investigation." His punishment was a 30-day suspension.
-- And an employee conducted "unauthorized searches on FBI databases" for "information on public celebrities the employee thought were 'hot'" received a 30-day suspension.

Sisters win sex lawsuit vs. dad $2.3 million given for years of abuse
By Howard Prankratz
Denver Post Legal Affairs Writer

Two daughters of former state and federal law enforcement official Edward Rodgers were awarded $2.319,400 yesterday, after a Denver judge and jury found that the women suffered years of abuse at the hands of their father.

The award to Sharon Simone, 45, and Susan Hammond, 44, followed testimony of Rodgers’ four daughters in person or through depositions, describing repeated physical abuse and sexual assaults by their father from 1944 through 1965.

Rodgers, 72, who became a child abuse expert after retiring from the FBI and joining the colorado Springs DA’s office, failed to appear for the trial. But in a deposition taken in March, Rodgers denied ever hitting or sexually abusing his children.

9/10 memento a 'botched' clue in 9/11 puzzle

EXCLUSIVE

Take a close look at the date on this unused ticket to the World Trade Center observation deck: Sept. 10, 2001.

The macabre memento, purchased by Yemeni tobacco smuggler Taha "Saleh" Mutaher less than 24 hours before the Twin Towers went down, suggests that the ex-con knew about the pending 9/11 strikes, former NYPD terrorism cops say.

But Mutaher, who kept the ticket folded in his wallet and had access to flight manuals owned by a relative with whom he lived in Brooklyn, was never charged with terrorist crimes or even grilled by the feds, the ex-cops say.
EVIDENCE: Ex-cops say the feds bungled the link between a Yemeni criminal's 'souvenir' ticket (pictured) and the plot to fell the Twin Towers.

EVIDENCE: Ex-cops say the feds bungled the link between a Yemeni criminal's "souvenir" ticket (pictured) and the plot to fell the Twin Towers.

They're furious about the lapse and want to know why nothing more was done.

"We think he had information that could have been valuable," one said. "We'd like to believe that the feds scooped up guys like Mutaher and took appropriate action. Unfortunately, they didn't do a thing. They were not proactive. They were not even reactive."

The former terrorism investigators -- who busted Mutaher in 2003 but were forced to hand him off to federal ATF agents -- are asking what happened to the Bay Ridge resident in light of last week's news that the FBI has been hunting for three suspects who might have helped the 9/11 plotters but got away.

Mutaher is not one of the three, but drew intense police scrutiny in the aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks.

The 20-something immigrant was nabbed for running untaxed cigarettes to the city, pleaded guilty to contraband trafficking and did eight months in a federal prison in Virginia. He was ordered to pay $347,731 in restitution.

Mutaher was a key player in the multimillion-dollar cigarette scheme, which got the NYPD's attention after the department hastily formed an intelligence unit following 9/11 to identify suspected local collaborators.

The cops soon realized that Arabs dominated the city's tobacco bootlegging industry and they joined forces with the state's top tax investigator, Tom Stanton, who set up a fake cigarette-supply warehouse in Virginia to nail suspects in sting op erations.

They learned that the smugglers sent illicit cash to Hezbollah, and they suspected Hamas and al Qaeda also got funds. The team brought in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to apply pressure on the defendants by using tough federal contraband laws.

Suspicions about Mutaher were fueled by his attachment to the WTC ticket.

"He didn't give a s- -t about anything else," said a member of the NYPD team.

"That's all he wanted was his ticket back. His lawyer kept asking for it."

Two other Yemeni nationals who lived with him were also busted, including the relative who had two flight manuals.

Virginia prosecutor Dave Schiller put away Mutaher and told investigators he would be deported when released from prison in 2004, but the cops never learned what became of him.

They're convinced the feds fumbled the ball.

"He should have been looked at a lot more carefully," said a detective.

"They should have found out everything before he was turned loose. They had no clue."

Federal officials were no more forthcoming with The Post when asked about Mutaher.

They claimed they could not learn his current location, immigration status or history.

"I don't have any information about him," said immigration-enforcement flack Cori Bassett.

Prosecutors say failure to inform didn't affect Seda verdict
FBI agent's error in not disclosing that husband of witness was paid informant was 'harmless,' they say

February 19, 2011

By Mark Freeman
Mail Tribune

An FBI agent's failure to disclose that a witness in Pete Seda's money-laundering and tax-cheat trial was married to a paid informant should not earn Seda a new trial, federal attorneys argued Friday.

Prosecutors filed their response to defense arguments that Seda's September conviction should be tossed out in part because the prosecution team failed to disclose — until after the trial — the $14,500 in cash paid between 2004 and 2006 to the now-dead Richard Cabral for information on Seda and other Ashland-area Muslims, records show.

FBI: Web-based Services Hurting Wiretapping Efforts

By Grant Gross, IDG News

Web-based e-mail, social-networking and peer-to-peer services are frustrating law enforcement wiretapping efforts, a lawyer for the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation told lawmakers Thursday, but she did not offer concrete ideas on how to fix the problem.

President Barack Obama's administration is debating ways to deal with Web-based services not covered by traditional wiretap laws, including incentives for companies to build in surveillance capabilities, said Valerie Caproni, general counsel at the FBI.

Many Internet services are not covered by the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), which requires traditional telecom carriers to allow law enforcement agencies real-time access to communications after a court has issued a wiretap order, she told members of a subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee

CASE CLOSED … what really happened in the 2001 anthrax attacks?

Congressman Rush Holt may be Dr. Bruce Ivins only chance for a deserved posthumous exoneration



******
excerpts from today’s editorial in the Frederick News Post (2/21/11) …

* The FBI’s weak case against Bruce Ivins, the lone suspect in the Amerithrax attacks, was dealt an embarrassing blow with Tuesday’s release of a report by the National Research Council.
* the council’s reports states: “It is not possible to reach a definitive conclusion about the origins of the B. anthracis in the mailings based on the available scientific evidence alone.”
* In other words, despite what the FBI and Justice Department claimed, no one really knows where the anthrax came from that was used in the fatal mailings.
* With the science that underpinned that finding now in doubt, the FBI’s case is in tatters.
* We will probably never conclusively know if Ivins was guilty.
* And that the FBI used shoddy evidence to push him as the suspect, pre-emptively wrapping up the case after Ivins’ suicide in 2008, does not fulfill due process and is an injustice.
* Even worse, if Ivins was not the anthrax mailer, the real killer, or killers, is still on the loose.
