HOROWITZ (DOJ OIG) REPORT ON CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANTS
We found that ATF officials did not completely and
accurately track information related to foreign national CIs, and as a result we were
unable to determine an accurate total number of ATF-sponsored foreign national
CIs. The inability to efficiently identify these CIs is especially problematic because
these CIs often have criminal histories or are involved with criminal organizations,
and therefore the risks associated with these CIs remaining in the United States
without legal authorization are higher than normal. Nor could ATF provide an
accurate accounting of its foreign national CIs who did not require ATF sponsorship.
ATF’s lack of reliable information related to foreign national CIs prohibited ATF
headquarters from properly managing the CIs and ensuring appropriate
coordination with DHS.

HOROWITZ REPORT ON CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANTS
They are holding the cabal to these standards but they are failing miserably!
Suitability Determination and Review Process
To mitigate the risks involved in using CIs, ATF employs a variety of
evaluation mechanisms aimed at ensuring that information provided by a CI is
reliable and that a CI will not jeopardize an enforcement mission. The ATF CI Order
dictates that ATF’s review process starts with an initial suitability determination,
which includes an assessment of the CI’s background, including occupation; known
relationships with subjects or targets, law enforcement, and public officials; and the
CI’s motivation for becoming an informant. In addition, a CI must sign an
agreement confirming the relationship between ATF and the CI, and ATF requires
the CI to acknowledge the parameters of the relationship with ATF, including that
the CI is not an ATF employee and cannot participate in any unlawful activities
except with ATF’s specific authorization.
The ATF CI Order states that control agents – Special Agents managing CIs –
must review and report on the contributions of each CI every 90 days to ensure
that the CI is necessary for continued use and has not violated conditions of the
agreement. In addition, the ATF CI Order requires that the control agent
semiannually prepare reports detailing each CI’s general background and criminal
history, as well as investigations worked and payments received, to determine
whether a CI should remain active. These semiannual reports are provided to ATF
field division management to approve a CI for continued use. Further, when a CI
has been active for more than 6 consecutive years, the AG Guidelines require the
CI to undergo a formal review process involving ATF senior management and DOJ
officials to examine whether, and under what conditions, the individual should
continue to be utilized as a CI.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
PIC RELATED
Cabal is in a pickle!
Do you think they have all these documents for the 'embedded informant'?
They are SCREWED!
https://oig.justice.gov/reports/2017/a1717.pdf
FROM HOROWITZ REPORT ON CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANTS
"In FY 2015, these payments totaled $4,353,565, the majority of
which were made in the form of subsistence payments, as displayed in Figure 1.
ATF was unable to provide the OIG with the total number of CIs to whom this
$4.35 million was paid.5 "
"5 Later in this report, we discuss our concerns about the unreliability of ATF’s CI data. We
obtained the financial information presented above from ATF’s official financial management system.
It is provided solely for contextual purposes; the figures are unaudited. "
