Former CA agent helped a man tied to organized crime learn if his associates were under investigation
...
A former FBI agent in Northern California who handled national security issues was convicted Tuesday of accepting at least $150,000 in gifts and cash bribes to provide confidential information to a man with organized crime ties, prosecutors said.
Babak Broumand, 56, of Lafayette, was found guilty in Los Angeles of conspiracy, bribery of a public official and monetary transactions in property derived from unlawful activity, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement.
He could face 15 to 45 years in federal prison when he is sentenced in January.
Broumand, who joined the FBI in 1999, worked until 2018 in the bureau's San Francisco office, where he was responsible for national security investigations, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said from 2015 to 2018, Broumand accepted "cash, checks, private jet flights, a Ducati motorcycle, hotel stays, escorts, meals, and other items of value" in return for searching law enforcement databases to help a self-proclaimed lawyer and his criminal associates learn if they were under investigation and avoid prosecution.
...
Court documents refer to the lawyer only as "E.S." but his name was Edgar Sargsyan, who earlier pleaded guilty to bribing Broumand and another federal agent and testified at his trial.
...
Sargsyan has admitted making a fortune by stealing identities, making credit card charges and taking out bank loans in their names, and while he falsely claimed to be an attorney he acknowledged actually paying a friend to take the bar exam under his name

So true.

Huh. why would Russia have wanted a Clinton presidency?
That’s disgusting, but true.
“ He could face 15 to 45 years in federal prison when he is sentenced in January.”
He could but in actuality will get a verbal warning not to do it again and a large pay raise with that promotion.
What kind of FBI agent is named Babak?
Hunter no
The Biden crime family did not need to pay off anyone. The Director is happy to scuttle any and all thoughts about investigating the Big Man. Demented Joe thinks he is sane, sad.
“Reset” anyone?
I’d rather the FBI be kicked out of Florida and any other state that wants them out. If you watch the TV shows about FBI in the big cities...it basically shows them overtaking all the crime investigations. This is for our local and state LE to handle, not the FBI and not the feds. The FBI has no real business within the states. And if they do go into a state, I think they should have to inform the state heads of their purpose and who sent them.
Former CA agent helped a man tied to organized crime.
Hell that covers 90% of D.C. only the selected get charged.
Why wouldn’t they?
Uranium.

Thanks. I’ll note that the Soviet embassy in San Francisco was an espionage center for infiltrating the California Democratic Party during the Cold War. I assume the Chicoms replicated that tactic.
