It appears that the FBI was involved in a cover-up related to the Foley DiddleGate Scandal. The CNN report on this is available here.
According to the FBI, when Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) gave the Bureau Foley's e-mails last July, they were "redacted" and did not include the name of the victim. The FBI claims that these omissions "hampered" its investigation.
Melanie Sloan, CREW's executive director, flat out says in the CNN piece that the FBI is lying, and that she sent -- immediately after she received them herself -- unredacted copies of the e-mails to three different FBI squads, including the cyber squad (this was confirmed by government sources).
Sloan actually named one of the special agents who received copies from her. CNN did not reveal the name, but did attempt to contact her. The agent did not return CNN's calls.
