This document discusses the potential bias and misconduct within the FBI and the implications of such actions on due process, particularly in relation to investigations like Crossfire. While it does not directly implicate Epstein or his activities, it raises concerns about the integrity of governmental investigations that could relate to broader issues of corruption and misconduct in high-profile cases, including Epstein's.
- The inspector general concludes that the pervasive bias 'cast a cloud over the FBI investigations to which these employees were assigned.'
- All special-counsel activities—investigations, plea deals, subpoenas, reports, indictments and convictions—are fruit of a poisonous tree, byproducts of a violation of due process.
- The Supreme Court has made clear that when governmental action 'shocks the conscience,' it violates due process.
