“The FBI has a formal, binding policy that forbids its agents from conducting witness or target interviews with the aid of electronic recording. Instead, a ‘Form 302 report’ becomes the official version of what the interviewee said. A witness deviating from that version risks up to five years imprisonment for making a false statement to a federal official, even not under oath. In this way, it is the FBI, not the witness, who controls the witness’s official story. Through these and myriad other techniques, federal investigators and prosecutors create an alternative reality that favors their own institutional interests, regardless of the truth or of justice.”
