And now we know why the FBI continued to use Steele as an informant.
The FBI’s use of informants has multiple problems, according to a report by the Justice Department’s inspector general (IG) released on Nov. 19. Some of the major issues highlighted by Inspector General Michael Horowitz are delays in properly vetting the informants and a lack of record-keeping when there are problems with them.
“The FBI’s vetting processes for confidential sources, known as validation, did not comply with the attorney general guidelines, particularly with regard to long-term sources,” Horowitz said in a video accompanying the release of the report.
He went on to say that “ineffective management and oversight of confidential sources can result in jeopardizing FBI operations and placing FBI agents, sources, subjects of investigation, and the public in harm’s way.”
