On the other hand...[edit]

From Gizmodo, Homeland Security Admits It Tried to Manufacture Fake Terrorists for Trump, which links to the official report which has this to say about Murphy:

This review also examined the command and workforce climate at I&A. It found that Mr. Murphy created a toxic atmosphere at I&A as a result of his demeaning, dismissive and degrading treatment of I&A employees, and that many employees, to include senior personnel, continue to fear retaliation if he is reinstated.

On page 5, if you're interested. And on page 6:

Mr. Murphy did attempt to controvert the raw intelligence collection process by directing collectors and analysts use a problematic term in intelligence reports which could have adversely colored finished intelligence products over time. [...] [T]he review uncovered the practice of using Operational Background Reports (OBRs, colloquially “baseball cards”) to create dossiers on USPERs arrested by federal authorities in Portland. Significant irregularities apparently existed regarding this practice given the collection, retention and potential dissemination of USPI regarding persons arrested for offenses seemingly unrelated to homeland security
