If you have followed the sensational journalistic work of Sara Ganim regarding the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case, you realize we have no reason to trust the people of Pennsylvania to properly investigate the possible cover-up that allowed Sandusky to allegedly prey on kids for nearly two decades.

The Feds are probably even more homo-friendly that the sick administration of PSU. I’d rather trust Corbett.
Now that we have a grand jury finding that Sandusky transported a minor to Texas, this is a federal matter and a special prosecutor should be appointed.
Yeah, there ain’t nothing that isn’t under the purview of the federal government. We ought to just abolish the states.
Whitlock is a racist who lied about Rush. For all of those conservative 10th amendment proponents, where is the federal jurisdiction in this case?
the psu da disapeared in 2005.. does mr. paterno know anything about why the da’s hd got destroyed?
The idea might be to borrow prosecutors from another state, possibly Utah or Idaho.
No! Keep the Feds out. This is something that the state should and can handle. (Otherwise, why do we have states?) You cannot tell me that there are no honest LEO at the state level that want to clean up this mess.
Yea, I am sure he did it. /sar
I would recommend everyone read the full article at the link. His general point is that a "president" who appears annually on ESPN to fill out an NCAA basketball tournament bracket, and has used his position to publicly weigh in on such essential topics as the Lebron James free agency charade, can surely get his head out of his @ss and get the proper legal authorities involved in an investigation of Penn State.
I would add that I'm usually dead-set against Federal involvement in state criminal matters, but there is a very interesting twist to this case that hasn't received a lot of attention. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett -- through no real fault of his own -- is now in an untenable position where he serves on Penn State's board of trustees but cannot effectively represent the interests of the school (and the state) in this matter. He had previously served as the Attorney General of Pennsylvania, so he and a number of his key staff and appointees were privy to the criminal investigation into Sandusky and others from their previous positions. They cannot divulge any of that information because they must protect the confidentiality of the grand jury proceedings.
Everything I've read has indicated that Corbett has gone to heroic efforts to walk this fine line between fulfilling his obligations as governor and respecting his legal/ethical constraints as a former prosecutor, but I think there is an inherent conflict of interests at work here.
The scandal at PSU involves more than the Athletic Department. They also covered up the Michael Mann scam. I don’t trust Obama’s Feds to unveil that.
......several questions demand answers: (1) Who granted Sandusky emeritus status after he retired in 1998? (2) Did Spanier and the Trustees approve his tenure? (3) Sandusky’s tenure gave him the keys to the locker room...and free rein to commit atrocities on young young boys in the PS showers........
It’s a mistake not to connect ex-PS Pres Graham Spanier and Sandusky. These are two very calculated predators——they did not operate in a vacuum. They were very calculated in everything they did.
NOTE Graham Spanier was fired from the PS president’s job........but he and his wife are still on the PS payroll as profs. Hmmmmmm.....looks like ol’ Graham used “leverage” to stay on the payroll. Betcha wife-swappin’ gay lovin’ Graham has some mighty interesting stories to tell.
Ex-PS president Graham Spanier’s activities at Penn State (see more below) answers the one question on everyone’s mind——how did Sandusky got free rein in the PS showers with young boys? Did Spanier participate, as well? He certainly had an obsession with pederasty and moved hell and high water to give gay sex a foothold in PS.
MUST READ REFERENCE Paterno is getting the most attention, but FREEPER PA BOOKENDS posted this WRT Graham Spanier, the President – who was also fired.
Spanier’s degrees are in sociology with a chosen emphasis on human sexuality – wife swapping, adolescent sex, etc. Spanier asserted he wanted to make PSU the most LGBT-friendly school in the country. Spanier’s sponsorship gave Penn State the first gay fraternity in the nation. Under Spanier’s leadership, Penn State sponsored “the Tent of Consent” - all about gay sex, as well as C*ntfest (shocker).
Now, shortly after his arrival, Spanier tried to get rid of the legendary Paterno. Why? The football program was bringing in tons of money. Paterno was (and remained) one of the LOWEST paid college coaches in the country. M/M Paterno donated millions to the University. Spanier lost the battle, but one has to ask: why was Spanier so eager to get rid of Joe??
It becomes clearer and clearer why Spanier was out to ditch Paterno-—Spanier had to remove any and all obstacles in his path to solidifying Penn State as a protected pedophilia haven for Sandusky (and whoever else was involved in these heinous activities).
Now isn’t that interesting-——Spanier was approved for the president’s job DESPITE recommendations against it by those who knew of his push to normalize homosexuality. Those who voted to approve Spanier should also be investigated——they are in deep, deep doo-doo. What did Spanier offer for a vote to approve him for the job?
Yeah, the football fanatics are out of hand, but we “need obama and holder” to investigate? Really?
Let’s just say that a gay friendly justice department might not do a very good job with this case.......
I sincerely hope it goes no further than that, the man's life will never be the same.
But if Pennsylvania is looking for a prosecutor who has a track record of prosecuting public officials without any hesitation about putting them in prison, and without mincing words and being nice about it, they should just get the governor right across the river in New Jersey involved.
Texas is already investigating, or at least, that’s what I heard last night on local news. Today on ESPN, they said that number of victims that have come forward has climbed in to double digits.
I don’t know that I would trust Holder or his department to do a proper investigation and prosecution. This all just... sickens me.
Thanks to Jason Whitlock for Real Apology to Rush Limbaugh
I think Rush Limbaugh really likes Jason, too.
I agree. And when you add in the possible incident in Texas, along with the Pennsylvania D.A. who mysteriously disappeared, it looks to me like a conspiracy that goes way beyond football.
