Closed loop: Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) → CACI International → Robert J. Wittman → Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

Involved entities

Inference logic

1. Edge A→B: Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) → CACI International (relationship: funding-type, "2024: $33,525 total ($23,525 individuals + $10,000 PAC). Defense contractor benefiting from Armed Services Committee oversight.").
2. Edge B→C: CACI International → Robert J. Wittman (relationship: authority-type, "As Vice Chair of House Armed Services Committee, Wittman oversees defense and national security matters that involve FBI jurisdiction; also his district includes federal employees at Langley AFB and other installations.").
3. Edge C→A: Robert J. Wittman → Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) (relationship: benefit-type, "FBI's ITSSS-2 contract vehicle worth $8 billion is available for use by all DOJ components; CACI International previously held DOJ contracts and may be eligible under this vehicle, though no direct FBI contract found in public databases.").
Each edge is independently documented in the connections table (IDs 11491, 17372, 16936). Together they form a directed cycle: money flows from A, authority flows through B, benefit returns to A. This is the structural definition of a closed conflict-of-interest loop.

Questions this raises

Each question can be commissioned at the matching investigation tier.

• SEED — $5 What is the timeline of these three relationships — does Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)'s support of CACI International predate CACI International's authority over Robert J. Wittman?
• SKETCH — $20 What is the dollar value flowing on each edge over the past five years?
• SKETCH — $20 Are there public records of CACI International recusing from any decision involving Robert J. Wittman?
• DOSSIER — $75 Map every contract, grant, or appointment between the three entities since the loop closed.
