It is this Agent's opinion that [REDACTED b6/b7C] fabricated this information in an effort to have [REDACTED b6/b7C] [REDACTED b7D] and that no invest- igation should be conducted in this matter. [REDACTED b7C] was vague and evasive and at times gave conflicting descriptions. He admits to [REDACTED b6/b7C] [REDACTED b7D] and admits that his motive in coming to the FBI was to have the FBI interfere in a state court matter.

It is recommended that no action be taken.
