A Few Goofy Men
Anon remembers how proud the bureau was to arrest a dangerous anti-semite, a mentally retarded black man, for supposedly bombing a synagogue. When it transpired SAs taking media bows coached the 'tard, bought him a bomb, car and map - the whole sordid saga just faded away with "serious concerns" and "consequences" mentioned darkly.

verily,
FBI standards of framing and blaming have greatly improved since the days of luminous memory when the FBIs legendary, very Special Agent Richard Miller lived in an abandoned hen house in Pasadena. Fighting communism , crime, alcoholism and a weight problem, Miller had 20 years on the job. He was a prodigious embarrassment and reproach to Human Resources staff, shunned by fellow SAs for his powerful, room clearing body odor. Miller was a fuck up.
Miller knew he "wasn't really like that," that he'd been a victim of circumstance, bad luck, and malicious supervisor's performance reports. Miller decided to prove to the world he was the very Special Agent he knew he was, he would redeem his whole disgraceful humiliating career, prove himself a hero, by busting a Russian spy, KGB agent Svetlana Ogorodnikova; known around the office to give blow jobs to any SAs who might want to question her informally about impending Politburo matters.
Miller gave the FBI's Los Angeles office phone directory to Svetlana Ogorodnikova, a real KGB agent, in return for a BJ.
At his trial Miller claimed he was doing an unauthorised cointel op and the phonebook (technically classified) was bait. The story was true. The FBI knew it was true, because they were up on Miller, he was under surveillance the entire time.
The Miller affair was one of the most ludicrous espionage cases in FBI history, it earned Miller his place in numerous online espionage halls of fame:

The Bureau terminated Miller's employment before they arrested him, so that the press release could read "Former FBI special agent R. Miller was charged with spying for the Soviet Union…"
Miller was a Mormon, his supervisor was his Bishop.

No believe it or nein, POLITICO say the Miller case is what made the cult pedovore congressman Adam Schiff a "Russia Hawk."

Only those who know the full idiotic story of Richard Miller how funny the Politico assertion is.
