Read five years of FBI disciplinary reports identifying crimes, misconduct by bureau employeesDig In Anons
The FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility each calendar quarter emails the entire FBI workforce a list of major misconduct cases by bureau employees and what punishment was meted out.
Just the News obtained 13 such reports covering most of the five years between 2017 and 2022. The reports were provided by Steve Friend, an FBI special agent who recently left the bureau after blowing the whistle on alleged civil liberty violations during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot investigation.

Some examples
• One report from April 2017 listed general examples of past FBI misconduct, including one agentdismissedfor admitting to having sexually molested his daughter and granddaughter for years.
• • Another acted "as an agent of a foreign government." One stole drug evidence to feed a heroin addiction, while another employee pulled a gun on a private citizen during an incident of road rage. The female bystander in question was thrown up "against a concrete lane divider, causing temporary loss of consciousness and large contusion."
• Other reports detail an employee who shot and killed his neighbor's dog and another who was driving drunk — with a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit — and killed an 18-year-old in the process. Yet not all of these subjects were said to have served prison time,and some even kept their jobs.
• One employee failed to safeguard their weapon by leaving it in their car, where it was later stolen. In addition to violating various rules about how the firearm should have been secured. The punishment: a3-day suspension and loss of the weapon.
• A supervisory employee "hit his minor child" and was caught only after the child's school "noticed bruises and contacted Child Protective Services." the employee received only a40-day suspensionfor "Assault and Battery."
• One employee "seized two thumb drives and notebook from a fugitive during an arrest." That employee then imaged the thumb drives "without a warrant" and removed a page from the notebook that contained information about another government agent. This resulted in a5-day suspension.
• After sending "a threatening and vile email to his girlfriend's ex-husband," one agent faced a temporary protective order. When a process server attempted to serve the subpoena, the employee threatened to shoot him, then failed to report the incident to his supervisor. Punishment:25-day suspension.
• The following year, the punishments seemed to get lighter as two agents who had separately engaged in an "improper relationship with [a] source," were hitwith 2 and 3-day suspensionsrespectively.
• An employee "admitted engaging in a romantic relationship with an incarcerated felon and sending him money," according to the report. The employee "failed to report contact with the felon," yet only received asuspension of 15 days.
• A similar situation from the fallout of a failed "romantic relationship" caused an employee to remove "certain jointly-owned property from the apartment of Employee's former significant other and damaged other property," the email reported. "Although no criminal charges were filed, Employee was arrested for vandalism and theft." Final verdict:14-day suspension.
•Fourteen dayswas also the price another agent paid for misfiring their gun "in the middle of the night while in a hotel room" before going to sleep and taking no further action.
• In the smallest, yet possibly most surprising, disciplinary decision handed down, an agent was suspended foronly one dayafter sitting for a virtual test about evidence handling that the agent's colleague was supposed to take.
• A40-day suspensionwas handed down to an employee who used the Bureau's official databases to look up information on relatives and friends.
• Another60-day suspensionwas handed down after an employee used their credentials "to intimidate" workers at "a child's day care center and, in a separate matter, to obtain law enforcement information from the local police regarding a friend's suicide."
