Former FBI official questioned on role in abuse of intelligence-gathering tools
By Ellen Nakashima, Monday, February 4, 4:22 PM
A senior Republican lawmaker is probing allegations that the former general counsel of the FBI bore greater responsibility for abuses of surveillance authorities than previously known.
The former official, Valerie E. Caproni, left the FBI in 2011 and has been nominated by President Obama to a be a judge in the Southern District of New York.
As general counsel, Caproni and her office had legal oversight over the bureau’s use of intelligence-gathering tools called national security letters, or NSLs, and exigent letters, both of which were used to obtain phone call and e-mail records of U.S. citizens and residents without a court sign-off.
In a series of often critical reports from 2007 to 2010, the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General pointed out lapses in the bureau’s use of these tools. The reports show that FBI agents over a three-year period ending in 2005 served more than 140,000 national security letters on companies without retaining evidence that the data collection was legal, without ensuring that the data was relevant to government needs and without correctly reporting efforts to Congress.
The bureau’s use of exigent letters — which are supposed to be used only in emergencies and followed up by documentation of an underlying investigation — also sidestepped rules in 2002 and 2006, according to the inspector general.

FBI General Counsel Valerie Caproni Illegally Usurped The Authority Of The NTSB To Allow The FBI To Subvert The TWA Flight 800 Investigation
TWA Flight 800
By Jack Cashill and James Sanders

In August 2003, a former U.S. attorney in the Clinton administration, Valerie Caproni, was appointed to the top legal job within the Federal Bureau of Investigation – that of general counsel. As such, she provides legal advice to the director and other FBI officials and, among other duties, coordinates the defense of civil actions filed against the United States for the official acts of FBI employees.
"This is the coolest job in the world," the 5-foot-tall Caproni recently told Robert Vosper, author of a 4,000-word profile on Caproni in the Corporate Legal Times titled, "The Chosen One." "I can be doing national security stuff in the morning, a Patriot Act issue after lunch and an employment problem in the afternoon."
Caproni, however, has a clouded legal past that provides an unfortunate study in how the national security apparatus can function if placed in the wrong hands. Working in the Clinton Justice Department, Caproni did not need the Patriot Act to go awry.
The co-author of this article, James Sanders, learned about Caproni early in his investigation into the crash of TWA Flight 800. Within days of the crash, it was she who illegally took the investigation away from the National Transportation Safety Board and gave it to the FBI.
Jack Cashill and James Sanders have worked tirelessly to make certain that the terrorist attack which murdered all 230 passengers aboard TWA Flight 800 in 1996, has not been allowed to remain buried by the FBI, which not only obstructed justice in this case, but may well have also knowingly aided and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated this horrific crime.
