One of the USJD's troubleshooters engaged in "egregious misconduct,"
including improperly using his position to obtain a visa for a Russian
with whom he was having an "intimate" relationship and then lying
about it to investigators, according to a department report. The report
finds veteran official Robert Bratt's conduct was only part of a pattern of
serious security failures within the same unit, including leaving highly
classified documents unsecured on desks, sending classified information
by email over an unsecured computer system and distributing secret
documents to outside contractors and others that did not have clearance
to receive them.
