Freeh's announcement followed complaints by Jewell's lawyers that during questioning the FBI tried to trick Jewell into waiving his Miranda rights to have an attorney present. Jewell's attorneys say two agents told Jewell they wanted him to help them make an FBI training film and suggested he sign the waiver of his rights in the mock training video. Georgetown University's Paul Rothstein says that kind of trickery is unacceptable. The FBI internal probe will decide that. Former FBI agent William Hinshaw concedes that the agency is far from perfect, but believes the investigation will deliver justice.
People there strive for perfection and they are very intolerant of people who stray over the lines.
