Why is lead FBI agent in botched Ted Stevens case still employed?
Amanda Coyne, Tony Hopfinger | Jun 06, 2012
In late spring 2008, FBI agent Mary Beth Kepner was in the throes of building a case against the late Ted Stevens, then one of the nation's most powerful senators.
The case hinged on whether Stevens lied on his Senate disclosure forms about work he'd gotten done to his cabin in Girdwood, a ski town south of Anchorage, Alaska's largest city. Some of that work had been done by his friend Bill Allen, the head of VECO Corp., then the largest oilfield services company in the state.
Kepner speculated Allen bribed Stevens by remodeling the senator's house when talking to a reporter in spring 2008. But "What was the quid pro quo?" she asked.
In the end, federal prosecutors wouldn't find one. Rather, they'd allude to special favors Stevens did for Allen and VECO in return for the company's remodeling of his cabin when they successfully prosecuted him in fall 2008 for failing to disclose the renovations on his Senate forms.
Yet Kepner's insistence in making a case against Stevens, even if the facts didn't all line up in her favor, coupled with federal prosecutors cutting corners, ultimately led to the judge in the case tossing the guilty verdicts against "Uncle Ted," as Alaskans called him before he died in a 2010 plane crash.
Now, for the first time, Alaskans have a better idea of just what Kepner and her prosecutor cohorts were up to when they conducted their case against Stevens.
An internal report released publicly by the Justice Department in late May outlines transgressions on Kepner's part, ranging from not documenting interviews to hiding evidence from Stevens' legal team.

Team 4: Lead FBI Agent In Wecht Case Promoted
July 27, 2007
It was two weeks ago that Orsini's checkered personnel file at the FBI
was unsealed at federal court, revealing a five-day suspension in 1998
for signing other agents' names on evidence reports involving seized
drugs and money.In 2001, the FBI demoted Orsini, suspended him for 30
days without pay, placed him on 12 months probation and ordered him to
undergo mandatory sensitivity training.
In that discipline report, the FBI found that Orsini, over the years,
had failed to follow search guidelines, falsified official documents,
engaged in an improper relationship with a female subordinate FBI agent
whom he gave a pet collar as a gag Christmas gift, threatened physical
assault of a subordinate and damaged government property by punching
holes in walls and throwing chairs.
The discipline report also said Orsini "made unprofessional and
insensitive remarks on numerous occasions concerning sexual
orientation," including once with a bullhorn when he called on all
homosexuals to come out of their offices.Aas a supervisory agent, Orsini
can make up to $117,000 a year.
