Rodriguez claims that after he produced additional damning evidence of a possible Foster murder coverup, he became a target and was investigated internally. Mark Tuohey, past President of the D.C. Bar who served as deputy counsel to Starr, thwarted Rodriguez's efforts. Rodriguez was threatened by FBI investigators and others to "back off" and "back down." Rodriguez stated the result of the investigation was pre-determined by Fiske, and Starr held to the same determination.<ref>https://youtu.be/V34XC56LFFY</ref>

The motivation for a coverup among FBI investigators evidently is careerism, a desire to get along with one's professional colleagues and suck up to the boss who is capable of handing out rewards and promotions. Having ruled prematurely, based on the US Park Police's inept investigation, that "no criminal activity" occurred, to avoid embarrassment the FBI was determined to stick by its story throughout the two subsequent Independent Counsel investigations.
