WASHINGTON -- The FBI made numerous serious errors in investigating allegations against former USA Gymnastics national team doctor Larry Nassar and didn't treat the case with the "utmost seriousness," the Justice Department's inspector general said Wednesday.
The long-awaited watchdog report raises serious questions about how the Justice Department and the FBI handled the case and highlights serious missteps at the FBI between the time the allegations were first reported until Nassar's arrest.
The inspector general's investigation was spurred by allegations that the FBI failed to promptly address complaints made in 2015 against Nassar. USA Gymnastics contacted the FBI about the allegations in July 2015, but it took months before the agency opened a formal investigation.
At least 40 girls and women said they were molested over a 14-month period while the FBI was aware of other sexual abuse allegations involving Nassar. Officials at USA Gymnastics also contacted FBI officials in Los Angeles in May 2016 after eight months of inactivity from agents in Indianapolis.
The inspector general's office found that "despite the extraordinarily serious nature" of the allegations against Nassar, FBI officials in Indianapolis did not respond with the "utmost seriousness and urgency that they deserved and required."
When they did respond, the report said, FBI officials made "numerous and fundamental errors" and violated bureau policies.

Like I have said before the FBI has a pretty decent crime lab and their fingerprint and DNA database is impressive, but that’s about it as far as investigating is concerned. However, more and more states have modernized their own crime labs without having to go through the expense of sending their evidence to FBI headquarters.
is he democRAT?
Another democrat pervert to coverup for
Sorry to say, the FBI is no longer a serious organization. The leadership has become an eager and willing arm of the Democrat Party.
Asterisk mine.
I hope this gets more attention, but I doubt it.
Media love the FBI, because they are on the same political page.
Would be nice if this could be enough to defund and disband the Horrible FBI.
An agency that I once respected so much and now hate.
Biden is a pedophile, took showers with his 12 year daughter, stole an election. His son also a pedophile and took bribes for himself and father. FBI looking the other way.
Former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar sexually assaulted, abused, and traumatized hundreds of young women. Senior FBI officials knew about the abuse and at first, did little to stop it, according to a new Department of Justice report released Wednesday.Former Indianapolis Field Office Special Agent in Charge (SAC) W. Jay Abbott was named as one of the FBI agents who lied, violated FBI policy, and exercised extremely poor judgment.
