His name was Miller. Richard Miller. Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Los Angeles.

When the bureau proudly announced the arrest a dangerous anti-semite, at a press conference where they displayed a bomb (safely defused) - the perpetrator turned out to be a mentally retarded black man, who supposedly was caught red handed with a bomb at a synagogue.

When it transpired that the SAs taking media bows had bungled, had coached the 'tard terrorist, helped him build a explosive device, buy a car, read a map, find synagogue – the whole stitch-up saga felt apart and quickly faded away leaving the Bureau's reputation about what it always has been, in desperate need of whitewashing.

Once, FBI 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 to colleagues and constant living reproach to Human Resources staff, shunned by fellow SAs for 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 reviews. Miller decided to prove to the world he was the very Special Agent he knew he was, redeem his whole disgraceful, humiliating career, prove himself a hero, by busting a Russian spy and 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.

synopsis of trials and appeals:

Miller gave the FBI's Los Angeles office phone directory to Svetlana Ogorodnikova, a real KGB agent, in return for a BJ.

At his trials Miller claimed he was doing an unauthorised cointel op and the office phonebook (technically classified) was his 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.

In a final salvo of bullshit , Politico claims the Miller case "made [pedovore representative] Adam Schiff a Russia hawk."
