The former chief of the FBI Milwaukee office — believed to have encouraged perjury and then lied to investigators — is worthless as a witness and dishonors an agency that places a premium on integrity, according to bureau veterans and law enforcement experts.
But Teresa Carlson remains a high-ranking FBI official in Washington, D.C., and the agency won’t say whether she has been demoted, suspended or disciplined in any way.
A Justice Department report issued last week concluded that Carlson, then special agent in charge of the Milwaukee office, instructed a subordinate to commit perjury in the case of a wounded veteran who wanted to become an agent. Carlson then likely lied to investigators from the Inspector General’s Office and the FBI as well as federal prosecutors, the report says.
