The FBI is denying claims that it directed an Edison Police Department in New Jersey to investigate opponents of its chief, Thomas Bryan, the Star-Ledger reports.
Union officials made the allegations, saying police were helping the FBI investigate Bryan’s critics and political opponents.
An FBI spokeswoman told the Star-Ledger that the FBI “does not task other individuals to conduct investigations on our behalf.”
The comments follow a two-part Start-Ledger series on serious internal problems at the police department.
Even I don’t belieev those silly claims. If the FBI needs the Edison PD to investigate people, they’ve sunk lower than anyone could imagine. Just doesn’t happen. My experience is that the Bureau rarely has much good to say about even other federal agenciy investigations, much less some podunk city PD.
