302’s have historically been used to manufacture fabricated evidence in politically sensitive cases, including General Michael Flynn’s case. Similar to a police incident report, the process is prone to both unintentional inaccuracies and intentional misrepresentation.
The 302 is a combination of an agent’s recollection of what was said and incorporating any notes taken. Some of these are identical, or nearly identical, to documents previously available in the public domain, while some reveal information that we had not yet seen.Īmong the documents are numerous FBI ‘302’ forms used to summarize interviews conducted during the course of an active investigation. Pages 86-142 are the newly released documents the FBI found to be related to Seth Rich. The 142 pages are hosted within two PDFs that we’ve combined here (page numbers throughout this article correspond with that upload). Here we examine these documents in detail. The release followed attorney Ty Clevenger’s lawsuit after his client’s FOIA request had been denied. We reported in July on documents hosted at the FBI records vault related to murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich.
