Harvey Silverglate

I always agree, almost always agree to the interview.

But I bring a tape recorder.

And I say, all right, I'm going to tape this.

And they say, well, by regulation, we're not allowed to do the interview if it's taped.

The record is the 302.

The agent is taking notes.

I say, well, I have a policy too.

My policy is to never allow a client to be interviewed unless it's recorded.

So it's unfortunate, but we're going to have to end this meeting.

And the agents get up and leave.

And I've never seen a Form 302 that I consider to be accurate.

The agents write down what they believe.

Wish you had said, rather than what you said, it is a wholly corrupt organization that has not gotten any better since Hoover died.

Correct.

It's not financial corruption.

It is corruption of the mission.

And I think it should be abolished

And if we need a federal investigative agency, it should be a new name, a new culture, wholly new members, a new director.

And it's impossible to reform the FBI.

It's that kind of process.
