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.

As-is

  • 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.

Transcription process

  1. 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.
  2. Kofbico PY2 and other transcripts were manually corrected using oTranscribe. However, I am not a transcriber and these versions may still contain errors.
  3. (In progress) 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.
  4. (Pending) Post-mortem of Val Broeksmit's life, relationship with the FBI, The New York Times, and some of his claims.
