FBI FILES

99 pages of FBI files. The FBI files are composed of 35 pages of memos and 50 pages of clippings of newspaper, magazine, and online website articles. The memos chiefly cover an investigation concenring allegations of death threats and a protection extortion scheme by individauls linked to the Jewish Defense League (JDL), aganist Tupac Shakur and rapper Eric Wright, AKA Eazy-E. The clippings from before and after the death of Tupac Shakur cover his music carrer, commentary about his life, rivalery with Sean "Puffy" Combs, legal troubles, and his murder. The clippings that the FBI chose to keep copies of are important, because they contain information the buraeu feels is important for someone to be briefed on, who is new to the case.
