The Department of Justice has agreed to a $138.7 million settlement with victims of sports physician Larry Nassar who accused the FBI of failing to adequately investigate the convicted sex abuser.

“Flawed” is being charitable.

From what I have read the FBI purposefully enabled Nassar and intimidated his victims with threats of Federal prosecution if they said anything about Nassar’s crimes.

Leading me to wonder what connections Nassar had in the Federal government that he was important enough that someone wanted to protect him.

Rather unfortunate use of the word “probe”.

Good reply.

I posted recently FBI but after further consideration, being affiliated with the Olympic team-I’m going with CIA currently.

There is more and more that I understand less and less each day. WHY was the FBI involved in this to begin with?

The FBI is corrupt and grotesquely incompetent, according to a judge.

Who am I to disagree?
