In September, Horowitz found that bureau investigators had allowed employees with dubious polygraph results
今年9月，（司法部監察長）霍洛維茨發現，FBI調查人員曾允許測謊結果存在可疑之處的員工
to keep their top-secret clearances for months or even years, posing "potential risks to U.S. national security."
繼續保留他們的絕密許可長達數月甚至數年，對“美國國家安全構成了潛在的風險”。
In one instance, an FBI IT specialist with top-secret security clearance failed four polygraph tests
其中一次，一名擁有最高機密安全許可的FBI IT專家四次測謊都未通過，
and admitted to having created a fictitious Facebook account to communicate with a foreign national,
后來他承認自己曾注冊過一個假的Facebook賬號來與外國人交流，
but received no disciplinary action for that.
卻沒有因此受到紀律處分。
In late 2016, Horowitz found that the FBI was getting information it shouldn't have had access to
2016年末，霍洛維茨又發現，聯邦調查局正在獲取他們不應該獲取的資料，
when it used controversial parts of the Patriot Act to obtain business records in terrorism and counterintelligence cases.
利用《愛國者法案》中有爭議的條款獲取恐怖主義和反情報案件相關的商業記錄。
Just as troubling are recent FBI missteps not yet under the IG's microscope. not yet
調查局最近犯下的，還沒被明察秋毫的監察長發現的那些失誤同樣令人不安。
At 2:31 p.m. on Jan.5, the FBI's round-the-clock tip center in West Virginia received a chilling phone call.
1月5日下午2:31，聯邦調查局位于西弗吉尼亞州的全天候舉報中心接到了一個令人毛骨悚然的電話。
The caller gave her name and said she was close to the family of an 18-year-old in Parkland, Fla., named Nikolas Cruz.
打電話的人報了她的名字，說她與佛羅里達州帕克蘭一位名為尼古拉·克魯茲的18歲青少年的家人關系密切。
Over 13 minutes, she said Cruz had posted photos of rifles he owned and animals he mutilated and that he wanted "to kill people."
在13分鐘的通話中，她說克魯茲曾經上傳過他擁有的步槍和被他肢解的動物的照片，還說他想“殺人”。
She listed his Instagram accounts and suggested the FBI check for itself,
她給出了克魯茲的IG賬號，并建議FBI自己查一下，
saying she was worried about the thought of his "getting into a school and just shooting the place up,"
還說她很擔心克魯茲“要去一所學校，然后把整個學校射它個底朝天”的這個想法，
according to a transcript of the call.
通話記錄顯示。
The FBI specialist checked Cruz's name against a database
聯邦調查局的專家根據數據庫檢索克魯茲這個名字，
and found that another tipster had reported 3.5 months earlier
發現3.5個月前還曾有一名舉報者舉報說，
that a "Nikolas Cruz" posted a comment on his YouTube channel saying, "I'm going to be a professional school shooter."
一位名叫“尼古拉斯·克魯茲”的男子在他的YouTube頻道上發表評論說：“我要成為一名職業校園槍手?！?/div>
But neither tip was passed on to the FBI field agents in Miami or local officials in Parkland.
但這兩次的舉報信息都沒有被轉達給邁阿密的一線FBI特工或帕克蘭的當地官員。
After Cruz allegedly killed 17 people with an AR-15 rifle at his old school just six weeks later,
僅僅6周后，據傳，克魯茲就在他的母校用AR-15步槍殺害了17個人，
the bureau admitted that it had dropped the ball and ordered a full review.
該局承認自己犯了錯誤，下令進行全面調查。
”You look at this and say, ‘You've got to be kidding me,'" says Anderson, the former FBI official.
“看到這種情況，你肯定會覺得，‘肯定是在跟我開玩笑，’”前聯邦調查局官員安德森說。
The Parkland shooting was only the latest in a string of devastating misses.
聯邦調查局最近接連出現了極為嚴重的失職，帕克蘭槍擊案不過是最新的一起。
After Omar Mateen shot and killed 49 people at the nightclub Pulse in Orlando in June 2016,
2016年6月，奧馬爾·馬廷在奧蘭多夜店“脈動”開槍打死49人后，
the FBI said it had investigated him twice before on terrorism suspicions,
聯邦調查局表示，案發前他們就已經就恐怖主義嫌疑對他進行過兩次調查，
but shut the inquiries for lack of evidence.
但他們最終因為缺乏證據而停止了調查。
