The four star gymnasts testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday about the Nassar case
The hearing examines why the FBI failed to investigate USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar sooner
A damning report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz in July found the bureau made a series of failures in its handling of allegations
It was first alerted to the abuse in 2015 but failed to bring charges leaving Nassar to abuse dozens more victims over the next 13 months, the report found
It emerged Tuesday the FBI fired agent Michael Langeman last week
Langeman worked as a supervisory special agent in the FBI's Indianapolis office and interviewed Maroney when she came forward with allegations in 2015

Is that 3 years time served nowadays?
What I question is why the parents that knew this was happening all along didn’t take things further? Was their money exchanged along the way?
I have a problem with this being aired on most of the news networks showing the apparent victims but those who didn’t act on the reports are basically left unknown within the FBI. Should they not face their accusers?
When Dems get caught all they do is apologize....it’s their get out of jail free card every time.
gonna squeeze every last drop out of this story....geez
It was heartbreaking, but utterly thrilling too! These Olympians were taking on the mighty, vaunted FBI in a way that I have never seen! Raisman and Maroney were utterly fierce, naming names, calling bs. on the slow-walking going on. Calling for indictments! Nassar wasn’t the only one publicly shamed.
The FBI and US Gymnastics were actively stringing the parents and victims along during the fake investigation, encouraging them to not discuss the case with each other.
I hate to be old fashioned about it, but the FBI is not a national police force.
These are crimes committed in Indiana and Michigan. Indiana and Michigan have police, prosecutors, courts, and prisons.
What does this have to do with the FBI, or with Congress?
The girls did seize the public forum to state their case. Indeed, it was powerful.
Nassar’s abuse crossed multiple jurisdictions and state lines.
The focus is beyond Nassar — it’s the criminal slow walk and cover-up.
Well I had an instance when my son was in school with a teacher giving my sons bad grades. He finally copied a paper and submitted it from an A grade student given prior and she still failed him.
I didn’t just go to the school Guidance office with the evidence but to the Principal and Superintendent as well with favorable results.
I admit this was an entirely different happening but my point is Parents don’t go far enough ....and every parent should know there’s a system in place always to protect those accused so you have to go further.
The FBI was originally involved because Nassar was the USA Gymnastics national team doctor through four Olympic cycles. Then USA Gymnastics and the FBI worked together in the cover up, permitting Nassar to continue his sexual predatory activities for years.
Which is why they reported the abuse to the US Gymnastics association and the FBI. The FBI agents did nothing until months later after the evil doctor was being prosecuted for his deviant criminal behavior.
It was reported today that the FBI agent who spoke with one of the young gymnasts didn't bother to even write up the 302 from the call until 17 months later.
So much for the 302 being contemporaneous notes. According to the testimony of the young victim at the Senate hearing the FBI agent falsified his report of their conversation.
The FBI agents who did nothing should have their pensions garnished to pay damages to the victims.
Nassar reportedly convinced the girls that internal massage was needed to resolve athletic muscle issues. Rape under the pretense of being a doctor.
When do we defund the FBI? What an evil Un-Americans agency.
Jay Abbott, the leading FBI agent on the investigation was angling for a cushy position upon retirement. Steve Penny, the CEO of USA Gymnastics, wanted to have it all come out well. They chatted in a bar over beers about this.
WHY didnt she just QUIT and go with another coach
??? I guess I dont understand.
The parents were mislead, and when they did complain reportedly employees at the University where Nassar worked, local police, the USA Gymnastics management, and apparently now even the FBI ignored their efforts.
There is not much left to the parents at that point other than sending over a couple of goons with crowbars. And I don't think anyone wants our nation to descend into that kind of third world society.
The FBI's own inspector general found problems.
The utter lack of effort by law enforcement officials when presented with direct witness testimony of child rape from multiple victims is shocking.
It is time for new senior management at the FBI, and a thorough review of their role in society and the conduct of their employees.
Nassar wasn't a coach. He was apparently the official team doctor of the United States Olympic Gymnastics Team. So Nassar went to the Olympics as an official representative of the USA where he continued his sexual assaults on our team.
