Op-Ed: DOJ Documents Show Jaw-Dropping Truth on Child Sex Abuse Across Country
If there is one thing we learned during the Trump administration, it is that in Washington, D.C., things often are not what they appear to be — particularly at the highly politicized Department of Justice.
When federal prosecutors leak stories to their pals in the establishment media, they often are pursuing their own agenda more than our best interests. Americans need to learn to look skeptically behind these headlines to discern what that agenda may be. As a case in point, consider a matter that my organization, Public Advocate, has been pursuing for the past two years.
Federal Prosecutors Begin Investigating Catholic Church
On Oct. 18, 2018, The Associated Press reported that “[f]ederal prosecutors have opened an investigation of child sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests in Pennsylvania, using subpoenas to demand secret files and testimony from high-ranking leaders in what victims’ advocates say is the first such probe ever launched by the U.S. Justice Department.”
This federal announcement was quite astonishing because, as the story noted, “investigations into sexual abuse by clergy members have historically been handled exclusively by state and local authorities.”

For some reason, your post sparked a memory about something I read during the Jerry Sandusky investigation. Remember how Joe Paterno died like two months after that all came to light? I remember someone on this board saying, “Joe knew too much and this goes much deeper and much HIGHER than Sandusky.”
