We don’t know why the Department of Justice declined to prosecute the supervisory FBI analyst who “knowingly possessed child pornography” in violation of federal law. We don’t know how many images he or she possessed. We don’t know the identity of the child or children who were exploited for the sexual gratification of this FBI supervisory analyst. We don’t know what vile sex acts the child was coerced into performing. We don’t know whether the supervisory FBI analyst supervised cases involving child pornography or whether he or she steered law enforcement away from criminals with similar tendencies. Full Article

How a suicidal pizza man found himself ensnared in an FBI sting
This isn’t a story about the police stings that we are all too familiar with. But...
When I was incarcerated, around 2008-2011, I forget the exact year, but an article was spreading around the prison like wildfire. It said some inspections of the pentagon computers revealed that a considerable percentage of them contained various degrees of CP. We all waited in anticipation for some of the big fish to fall and get a taste of their own medicine, but weeks and months went byand you heard less and less about it until it just vanished into thin air. I have friends that are still there to this day serving unimaginable sentences for CP; seventeen and twenty years. Just another Jeffrey Epstien case where the connected can indulge with impunity, and the rest of us are set up in stings to show the masses how hard the DOJ is working to protect the most innocent among us.
Since FBI, U.S. Atty.’s Office and/or DOJ are not pursuing an indictment, then I believe it incumbant upon these fine public serviants to immediately provide information of the offense to local/State law enforcement agencies. After all, the FBI and the U.S. DOJ (those brave and courageous souls all) now hold particularized knowledge of a STATE CRIME being committed.
I would think that sworn federal law enforcement agents hold a special duty – an over-riding and compelling moral obligation – to immediately report such despicable and vile crimes to their respective local and/or state authorities – if it helps to save just one child.
As you can see from a 2014 case (link below), an FBI employee (in this case, a fingerprint analyst), was indicted and prosecuted for a similar offense. In that case, the prosecution was brought about by the State of West Virginia (but not the U.S. Atty’s. Office or the DOJ – those brave and courageous souls all).
Perhaps it is the same FBI analyst as in the present case. Can we rule that out?
November 29 2014 FBI employee from Greene charged with child pornography
http://www.heraldstandard.com/gcm/news/local_news/fbi-employee-from-greene-charged-with-child-pornography/article_e4f542fe-14c9-5182-8ee9-7d2b24953b0b.html?mode=jqm
A fingerprint examiner with the FBI in Clarksburg, W.Va., was recently arrested on charges of disseminating child pornography from his Greene County home.
The charges were filed by the state Attorney General’s Bureau of Special Investigation — Child Predator Section after an agent was able to download files depicting children in sexual situations from the suspect’s computer through file sharing.
…and that government of cops, by the cops, for the cops…
Why no prosecutions?
The reason is simple. Any lawyer who’d submit discovery requests concerning the modus used to surveil the use of the machine would soon learn the specific software used to do so is owned by private entities and not the government.
Most of the regular people who’ve gotten their charges dropped for CP cases have done so by insisting on that discovery through their lawyers. The cases are dropped precisely because these firms do not want their patented software and underhanded techniques to become understood by the general public, producers of websites nor their potential competitors.
FBI people looking at child porn or teenaged porn. I am sure that has happened but I’m sure many of some are brushed under the rug. Well Tim gave the theory its all about computers but I beg to differ. Why is a thousand dollar question and so cynical and self centered. Law enforcements are above the law of their good book. They don’t even use the right book with their guidance.
Nothing wrong with technology but anything can be used for good or bad. Even a gun or a sling shot. This increase in technology is a bit much or should one go on a computer and find the answer to were this covid-19 came from. Even the human brain will not figure that one out with all this theory and speculation. Computers are not the answer in everything and those men that are playing this harlotry game are just as guilty with this inducement.
Sure we all hate this mess and yes many officials I’m sure have dabbled into teenage sex actrivities but its when they induce it on another that it becomes messy and those ministers or servants of God are just as guilty by using these crafty methods. What if they wanted to induce you into something else just as crafty or should one open their cam or want you to talk dirty to them. So who is doing the reaping and who is doing the sowing? I don’t think that person would want someone coming down to meet them for a game of cards, but in a sense it is a game.
So everyone has sin or is seduced by this nature. Are not we all carnal. I just Janice would trash much of this registry ordeal as it is no good for anyone. And I thought law enforcment were peace makers.
The answer to the question of why this person won’t be prosecuted is pretty well summed up in this paragraph from the press release:
*****
The OIG obtained and forensically examined the SIA’s personal and FBI issued devices. Our
examination identified pornographic images on the SIA’s personal devices, and the OIG took
several steps to determine whether the images represented child pornography, including
providing such images to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. None of the
images were determined to be evidence of child pornography. No pornographic material, or
evidence pertinent to the investigation, was identified on the SIA’s FBI-issued devices. Based
on the SIA’s statements during the security interview, the OIG investigation concluded that the
SIA had knowingly possessed child pornography, in violation of federal law and FBI policy.
*****
Two things of note: 1) though there was pornography on the devices (a conduct violation but not a crime) there were no images on the devices which rose to being CHILD pornography (perhaps they were nudist pictures, which skirt the law), and 2) the only evidence of child pornography possession is from the person himself/herself.
Who on here thinks anyone can get a conviction–or perhaps even an indictment–when there is no physical evidence of a crime and the only evidence available is from the person of interest? The person of interest could 1) invoke the 5th and not testify against himself/herself and/or 2) could say s/he misunderstood what the definition of child pornography is. In short, there’s no “there there” for a prosecutor use. Note, too, that at the end of the document it says the OIG uses “preponderance of the evidence” for decisions, NOT “beyond reasonable doubt.” Those two standards are vastly different. There’s no way the evidence, as presented here, is “beyond a reasonable doubt.”
People in power aren’t subject to our criminal laws. Kellyanne Conway just posted a seminude photo of her 16 year-old daughter on the internet. Don’t look for Kellyanne’s photo on the registry anytime soon.
I haven’t seen the actual photo. What makes it criminal is that it is described as a bathroom shot taken and posted without the 16 year-old’s permission.
