Records obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley revealed that from 2004 to 2020, 665 FBI employees quit their jobs after an investigation for sexual misconduct, but before they could be disciplined, and that embattled FBI Director Christopher Wray’s “zero tolerance” policy did not apply to senior officials.
“665 FBI employees, including 45 [Senior Executive Service (SES)]-level employees have retired or resigned following an FBI or [Justice Department Office of Inspector General (OIG)] investigation into alleged misconduct, but prior to [the Office of Professional Responsibility’s (OPR)] issuance of a final disciplinary letter,” between 2004 and December 23, 2020, according to one document produced by the Justice Department’s Office of Disciplinary Appeals and titled “Retirements and Resignations During Unwelcome Sexual Conduct Adjudications.”
The number of FBI employees and officials who resigned due to sexual misconduct allegations could be much higher. “The data doesn’t include resignations or retirements that occurred prior to the initiation of or during an ongoing misconduct investigation, so the actual number of employees who departed the FBI following allegations of sexual misconduct could be much higher,” Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans noted.
“The only discernible pattern appears to be that higher-graded employees, especially supervisors, are more likely to have their sexual misconduct case adjudicated under Offense Code 5.22, and therefore subjected to lesser penalties; whereas, lower-graded employees are seemingly more likely to be adjudicated under Offense Code 5.20, and have a statistically greater likelihood of being dismissed for their sexual misconduct,” reports a second Justice Department document titled “Inconsistent Adjudication of Non-Consensual Sexual Misconduct.”
“This may give the appearance the FBI is not holding its supervisors accountable for unwelcome sexual conduct,” it reads.
“Simply put, these two documents show a systemic failure within the Justice Department and FBI to protect female employees from sexual harassment and sexual misconduct in the workplace and a failure to sufficiently punish employees for that same misconduct. FBI employees should not have to suffer under daily abuse and misconduct by their colleagues and supervisors. Congress has an obligation to perform an objective and independent review of the Justice Department’s and FBI’s failures and determine the accuracy of the data contained in the documents so that the American people know and understand what, if any, changes have been made to solve these significant problems,” Grassley wrote in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Director Wray.
