You are an attorney, Dawn. Is it not considered, in your line of work, that a claim that an FBI report is fake or otherwise unreliable, is an extraordinary claim? What are the obligations (burden of proof) of the party who makes such a claim?
Tom: Fortunately in my work I have never had to deal with the FBI. I practice in several areas, and in my criminal defense work it is the local police not the FBI. I have considered the FBI 100% unreliable since the WCR. In 1992 a friend of mine had discovered massive and serious corruption the legal system of a county north of us. He wanted to call the FBI. I convinced him otherwise while at his lake house on Lake Travis. Sadly I never learned what he had uncovered as before he could tell me he died of a heart attack while we were in the water. He was 47. So no I assume ANYTHING connected with this case by the FBI inherently UNreliable. I think only LNs think otherwise.

ps So burden's of proof on FBI reports never come up in my work, thank God.
