1. Context for this otherwise puzzling post:

An FBI 302 is shorthand for a document that memorializes an interview with a witness. It contains, among other things, a narrative of the substance of the interview (I had to look it up).

5. Also: While 302s can be informative

They're typically not used in court without verifying the contents, because they are "raw" data. Anybody can say anything and get it put on a 302. It's up to the agent taking down the info to then vet it.

This is why you don't go by 302s, for anything, without having them backed up. If the feds verify the claims, then they do a more formal and (far!) more thorough interview to nail down the details.

I don't know what the status is on this particular 302, but if it hasn't been vetted, then it's worthless in court. All it takes is one feebie getting on the stand and saying, "We attempted to verify the claims on that 302, and found not evidence to support it."

And then that 302 exhibit is worthless, if not damning to the defendant's case.

I suspect that this is a dirty move by a hack attorney who thinks he's more clever than he is. That's why I smell Rhodes as being part of releasing it.
