Audio files and transcripts of FBI informant Val Broeksmit meeting with and speaking to FBI agents, Congressional staffers and people from the New York Times. A heavily redacted portion of his FBI file has been released through the Freedom of Information Act.
- The Val vs Andrew Dowling PT1 DKO’d file was corrupt in the original Zip file I was sent by Rocco Castoro, and is provided as-is.
- The NYT audio files were too large to upload to GitHub, so they were split evenly by time. The original versions were uploaded as podcasts.
- In some places, uninterrupted speech do not have the speaker individually marked. In those places, the beginning and end are marked.
- In most places, the identities of feds are treated interchangeably. Aside from phone calls with a single participant and excerptions for clarity, little effort is made on a line-by-line basis to track which fed is speaking or to note that they speak with more than one voice.
- Some interviews covered by copyright (such as podcasts) are only present in [audio excerpts](/tree/main/audio excerpts/Other) in order to comply with Fair Use et al.
- The original transcripts were created using Whisper. These are useful for searching, but contain numerous errors. These versions are being provided as-is and for reference only.
- Kofbico PY2 and other transcripts were manually corrected using oTranscribe. However, I am not a transcriber and these versions may still contain errors.
- (Partially completed) The corrected transcripts will then have been edited to be more readable. i.e. combining multiple lines from a single speaker into one paragraph, etc.
- (In-progress) Post-mortem of Val Broeksmit's life, relationship with the FBI, The New York Times, and some of his claims.
