Amen, and THANK YOU, Vernon Jones!
DOJ Again Refuses To Charge FBI Agents In Case Of Convicted Sex Offender Larry Nassar
After allegations of Nassar’s abuse were first reported to the FBI Indianapolis Field Office by the president of USA Gymnastics in 2015, local field agents failed to respond “with the utmost seriousness and urgency that the allegations deserved and required,” a 2021 report by the DOJ’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) found.
Further, the report found that two FBI officials lied during their interviews to cover up or minimize their errors. One of the agents also made a false statement to the media in 2017 and 2018 about how his office handled the Nassar case.
That agent also violated the FBI’s conflict of interest policy by discussing a possible job with the U.S. Olympic Committee while he was involved with the Nassar investigation.
The OIG noted the seriousness of the former agents lying during the investigation into their conduct in the years after the events but said there wasn’t enough to bring a federal criminal case.
“We will continue to learn from what occurred in this matter, and undertake efforts to keep victims at the center of our work and to ensure that they are heard, respected, and treated fairly throughout the process, as they deserve,” the DOJ statement reads.
We need the type of security they seem to have at school BOARD meetings at the actual schools.— Daniel Horowitz (@RMConservative) May 27, 2022
I am so sorry that Vernon Jones left the governor’s race.
