An absolutely damning Inspector General investigation of FBI conduct in the rape and sexual assault of U.S. Gymnasts reveals how FBI agents facilitated Nassar’s sex crimes by taking no action despite numerous witness statements to them.
Worse yet, the FBI never reported the sexual assaults to local law enforcement… and to top it off, the FBI agents lied during the investigation of their conduct, and the DOJ under AG Bill Barr refused to prosecute the FBI liars.
The entire IG report [Must Read pdf Here] reveals layer-upon-layer of FBI wrongdoing, misconduct and false statements in an effort to cover-up their activity when the internal investigation of their conduct began. This report is a total condemnation of the FBI rank and file. It really is quite stunning.
IG Report Excerpt – […] “The OIG found that, despite the extraordinarily serious nature of the allegations and the possibility that Nassar’s conduct could be continuing, senior officials in the FBI Indianapolis Field Office failed to respond to the Nassar allegations with the utmost seriousness and urgency that they deserved and required, made numerous and fundamental errors when they did respond to them, and violated multiple FBI policies.
The Indianapolis Field Office did not undertake any investigative activity until September 2nd, five weeks after the meeting with USA Gymnastics—when they telephonically interviewed one of the three athletes. Further, FBI Indianapolis never interviewed the other two gymnasts who they were told were available to meet with FBI investigators.
This absence of any serious investigative activity was compounded when the Indianapolis Field Office did not transfer the matter to the FBI office (the Lansing Resident Agency), where venue most likely would have existed had evidence been developed to support the potential federal crimes being considered, even though the Indianapolis office had been advised to do so by the USAO and had told USA Gymnastics that the transfer had occurred.
Additionally, the Indianapolis office did not notify state or local authorities of the sexual assault allegations even though it questioned whether there was federal jurisdiction to pursue them. As a result, the Lansing Resident Agency did not learn of the Nassar allegations until over a year after they were first reported to the FBI and then learned of them only from the MSUPD.
Moreover, the FBI conducted no investigative activity in the matter for more than 8 months following the September 2015 interview. During that period of time, as alleged and detailed in numerous civil complaints, Nassar’s sexual assaults continued.” (read full report)
Do not overlook this part:
The FBI responded to the IG report with this statement:
FBI Response to IG – “As the Inspector General made clear in today’s report, this should not have happened. The FBI will never lose sight of the harm that Nassar’s abuse caused. The actions and inactions of certain FBI employees described in the report are inexcusable and a discredit to this organization. The FBI has taken affirmative steps to ensure and has confirmed that those responsible for the misconduct and breach of trust no longer work FBI matters.
Prior to today, the FBI initiated improvements to make sure that serious allegations, such as these, are promptly shared with our law enforcement partners and within the FBI. As a continuation of these efforts, the FBI is fully committed to implementing all of the recommendations made by the Inspector General.
We will take all necessary steps to ensure that the failures of the employees outlined in the report do not happen again.” (link)
Who was Governor of Indiana, during this when the “Indianapolis Field Office”….surely the Governor was aware?
Putz…I mean Pence?
Sounds like JUDAS-pence has maybe collected more than 30 pieces of silver.
do you possibly mean the one who never has dinner or any kind of meeting with a woman not his wife where there are not other people present?
It would be interesting to hear Greg Garrison’s take on this situation . . .
he prosecuted Mike Tyson . . . and I would say, persecuted Mike Tyson . . .
he took over the radio show Mike Pence had when Mike Pence became governor . . .
seemed like it was really important to get Greg Garrison on your side in the 2016 Presidential race . . . in April 2016, Mike Pence endorsed Ted Cruz . . .
but of course, later became VP nominee for Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump . . .
I thought Pence looked so nervous and diminished on Greg Garrison’s show when he visited . . . it was on tv but I haven’t found it yet (on youtube)
did Greg Garrison know anything about this situation with the FBI and these girls put in harm’s way?
Amazing how the dots always connect evil to evil.
Why would the Governor of Indiana keep up on FBI field investigations — assuming that the FBI would be willing to keep the governor informed?
The FBI is Federal. See the first letter in the initialism. The FBI doesn’t work for Governors. Governors have neither authority nor responsibility to keep up with the innumerable FBI investigations in their states.
I do not know how you can not come to the conclusion that the US Federal government is not just a pedophile sex crimes organization. Top to bottom.
I also think this is nothing new and it has been going on longer than anyone with basic human respect would believe.
All government agencies are nothing more the controlled criminal organizations
Exactly. The U.S. Mafia.
EXACTLY! 1000 LIKES.
These are only the issues we are aware of. For every 1 we learn of there must be 100 others we no nothing about.
what the hell as our country turned into?
~~ We’re a hubristic, Godless, insouciantly ignorant people with an “entertainment-ONLY-at-any-cost” death-style, who continue to pay for our own indoctrination, and who worship this Wage-Debt sy$tem of enslavement, on our way to the poor-house….

There was a reason why Sandusky was able to hold onto his job after one of his assistants saw him engaging in “horseplay” with a child in the University locker room showers.
The assistant was shut up when he tried to report what he saw.
Organized crime has always provided illegal “services”… liquor, drugs, prostitution, murder. And they are in our government
Don’t be silly. I CHEER our primary Deep State Law Enforcement Agency for PROTECTING the interests of the USA. You see, it would have been embarrassing to our Institutions … the Olympics, the NCAA, our colleges if this case were to come to light. So, it was in the best interest of the USA to hush this up. Our “Institutions” were saved!
So what if a few more girls got diddled. Meh. They probably enjoyed it … Right?
/EXTREME sarc.
How is my sarcastic explanation any different than every single Illegal Deep State action taken against PDJT and his Associates (which are STILL playing out today)? It was all for the “good” of the country … Right? Yes, these people are SICK and need to be summarily FIRED.
And … demonRAT voters do not care that their politicians & alphabet agencies are corrupt, filthy, immoral, criminals … in fact … the worse they are – the more powerful they are.
The RINO traitors are jealous of RAT privileges and hate having to pretend to be America, loving, conservatives.
Money laundering
Drug running
Gun running
Human trafficking
Graft
It’s a diverse portfolio underwritten by tax revenue.
Add Seth Rich?
The FBI and DOJ have reduced their stature to being primarily prosecutorial tools for the Democrats and their Uniparty allies. Further, it is obvious that the rot permeates down to the most basic rank and file employees. And you know that given their inability to even modestly clean up their act, the nefarious character of each agency is dyed in permanently.
Each agency furthered Nasser’s crime via inaction in light of the facts. That is complicity in predatory behavior. Think about how sick these rank and file, along with their, leadership, collaboratively are. Their inactions define their lack of any redeeming character.
I wonder what it is like to know that you work for America’s version of the Stazi?
The FBI and all the other agencies are there to protect the friends and contributors to the DemoRat party.
Degenerates like Ed Buck:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/ed-bucks-violent-sex-play-recounted-in-first-day-of-death-trial/ar-AAMagC4
and sean hannity wants to be one when he grows up.
That will never happen – the “growing up” part.
And Hannity should never again use the words, deity and FBI rank and file in the same sentence.
I’m sure they’re cool with it just like the Stasi were. Good paying, recession proof job with a lot of side perks working security for The Man.
it has seemed to me to be a downward sinking of the FBI’s stature and credibility since the early days of the Clinton Administration when Hillary Clinton obtained access of FBI files and that was never addressed, rectified . . .
she just kept going from there
We all wonder how can these crimes against nature are allowed to continue.
The fbi and the whole government is rotten to the core there only purpose is to bring down the system and install evil so they can rule over US. Once you understand that everything else makes sense.
Make no mistake they are coming after you.
We need to get to them first.
He said “Hail Hydra” to the FBI and cover up was on
CESSPOOL THAT IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF A FLUSHING! ??
More like a rendering pit than a cesspool.
Must be a democrat
make no mistake, mitch mcconnel and the majority of federal republicans are probly worse.
Weiner laptop, Hunter laptop, Nassar, that compound in New Mexico …
FBI seems to ignore a lot of this sort of activity when it shows up on the radar.
An nobody in Congress ever presses Wray on the matter.
Don’t forget Ed Buck.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/ed-bucks-violent-sex-play-recounted-in-first-day-of-death-trial/ar-AAMagC4
Exactly. This pedophilia, child trafficking is the 1,000 gorilla hiding in the hall closet. None of the federales want that door opened.
Don’t forget they missed the warnings about the Parkland school shooter too.
So, why does it seem that our “Most Respected” American institutions are so flagrantly participating in Americans losing ‘respect and confidence’ for those institutions?
The FBI could not admit that they had rogue, crooked agents while Trump was President. That would have confirmed Trump’s accusations against the Agency. Are we all aware now that every action taken by our Intelligence services and Justice agencies over the last 5 years was aimed at damaging and removing Donald Trump from the office of President? Does anyone think that the worst “Pandemic” in modern world history occurred during the re-election season of the Trump Presidency simply by random fate? By the way, when will the long term research data on “the vaccine” be available to us peons? You do realize that the world population is undergoing the largest research project of all time? Give the vaccine and let’s see how the millions of people respond in the next year or two. Then we will know if it is long term safe or not. By the way, hello to the NSA lackey who is reading this as I type.
thats how the cabal gamed this out. they knew the FBI perps would not be harmed, because it would destroy the credibility of the FBI to all Americans…
So the FBI decided to maintain the illusion of integrity with just the DEM HALF and because the RED HALF is blind no more THE FBI will just target them for submission (white supremacist narrative didnt start until the first outting of an FBI Perp breaking the law)
Summary: FBI had a choice between losing both the Reps and Dems faith in them (by admitting wrong and prosecuting perps); or just losing the faith of the REPS and targeting them for silence later (White supremacist narrative started after this decision).
How much longer is this “sacred cow” going to be allowed to exist?
“When the Lamb opened the Fifth Seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of God’s Word and the testimony they had given about him. They cried out in a loud voice, “Holy and true Master, how long before you judge and take revenge on those living on earth who shed our blood?” A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.” (Apokalypsis 6.9-11)
…soon, very soon.
Until Congress feels the time is right to legalize it.
Then it’s just another cow.
It should be taken to slaughter.
just paving the way for pedo Joe the hair sniffer.
Time to end FBI immunity. Let every citizen be able to file a lawsuit and personally bankrupt the bad FBI agents.
You mean all agents…there are no “good” ones.
During all of this who was the Governor of Indiana? The Governor of Indiana from January 14, 2013 until January 9, 2017 was Mike (Deep State) Pence. Go figure. His Attorney General was Greg Zoeller (AG – 2009-2017) who supported 2017 refugee resettlements in Indiana. These people are all in when it comes to human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of women, especially the very young ones as in these cases. Even for the institutional covering up of those crimes by the now politically weaponized FBI who has a well documented, long list of suppressing and selectively choosing who they protect and destroy.
Very interesting.
”(…) those responsible for the misconduct and breach of trust no longer work FBI matters.”
This floored me! In fact, it tells all.
Whose matters do they work?
And why do all the commenters here have a Google avatar?
I’m just shocked, shocked do you hear? That the grand FBI would stoop to such levels. Let’s face it. Our whole legal system from enforcement to prosecution is one big fake when it comes to the federal government. If someone would drop a bomb on DC the only thing worth grieving is the bomb and a few of the innocents who work there and, my opinion, the word few is over rated.
Power corrupts.
FBI should of never got access to NSA data. And the Capital Police (Currently getting) should never have access to Military Grade Surveillance Tools (because the Capital Police are not FOIA’ble. this move is something big is coming)
This sounds like the perfect reason to fire ALL FBI agents & employees, as well as blacklist them from ever holding another position in anything even remotely related to law enforcement. I keep hearing about “it’s only a few”. Well, it’s past time to uproot the entire criminal organization and make certain none of the bad apples take root anywhere else. Either empower the US Marshalls Service with the powers to pursue federal crimes, or empower local state police agencies with same. I am beyond believing there’s anything salvageable from the FBI other than maybe some choice real estate.
anyone who gets to snoop the NSA database will never be blackmail’able. it will just be insurance policies on each person that indicates they are coming for them.
“insurance policy” is the common phrase of the NSA snoopers, meaning this tool is how the individually stay free of prosecution, and their services can be “rented” frm wealthy people looking to not be prosecuted either( blackmail for insurance)
Corrupt “law enforcement” is a defining characteristic of third world cesspools. Every single element – every single employee associated with the FBI is filthy dirty. There are NO people left in that sewage pit who have any virtue whatsoever. The FBI must be investigated and sued completely out of business.
I suspect the FBI is also financing BLM and Antifa will their dark cash funds. This is how they keep the ‘white domestic threat’ going, they helped create it. This organized corruption inside the fbi has been rotten forever.
Kinda old but belongs in this discussion… remember that Birmingham church that was blown up in the 1960s? The one where all the little girls in the Sunday School were blown up?
The FBI has a lot to be ashamed of
https://www.thedailybeast.com/40-years-for-justice-did-the-fbi-cover-for-the-birmingham-bombers
The entirety of the Federal Government is corrupt…
BURN IT TO THE GROUND……..ALL OF IT.
So now they are biased against rape victims.
Wray responds with more anti-rape-victim bias training.
#SNAFU
This is just another scary data point… Howie Carr documented this behavior in detail involving the Boston FBI office running interference and keeping Whitey Bulger a free man for 20 years. If there are a few “good” rank in file agents out there it’s very few.
It’s all about the Benjamins. He wasn’t going to let a couple of abuse allegations get in the way of a plum job.
This is a common trait driving the corrupt snakes across all institutions in the swamp!
FTA:
“This report is a total condemnation of the FBI rank and file. It really is quite stunning.”
Like I said during the days of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas HS shooting, the Cesar Sayoc farce, and even LONG BEFORE…
THE MISDEEDS OF THE FBI LEADERSHIP DID NOT HAPPEN IN A VACUUM.
For all of those who said “It’s just a FEW political appointees in FBI leadership who are corrupt”… YOU WERE WRONG.
True, “Fish Smells From The Head Down” but left long enough, THE ENTIRE CARCASS ROTS.
And that’s what happened to the FBI.
If there was a contest to see which government agency is the most corrupt the FBI would be a front runner.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the USOC are 2 of the most corrupt organizations in amateur sports (you can add in the UCI and every organization connected to soccer too). The connections between committee members (rich and powerful) and politicians world wide is easy to trace. No surprise that alphabet agencies never seem to find wrongdoing.
If you were familiar with the day to day average FBI misconduct it would probably still surprise you. They’re pretty good at keeping it quiet.
This rot has spread from Californicate to the other regions. It is well known that starting in the late ’90s pedophilia and other sex crimes against minors and students would not be enforced at the state or federal (regional FBI and US Attorneys in CA) level. The unstated reason is because most, not all, of the perpetrators are homosexual. With the infiltration of those govt offices by militant homosexual activists, it was a foregone conclusion that these crimes would not be seriously investigated or prosecuted.
“No longer work FBI matters”?
That’s legal speak.
Does it mean still on government payroll?
Not referred to the Court for lying under oath?
Not reprimanded by Bar Associations?
And what about their names? Why can’t FBI Agents who have committed crimes not be outed publicly?
Does it hurt the Agency more or less if they are outed?
Soooo tired of this and yet know these are really big deals. Without naming and holding them accountable, we are on a very slippery slope.
when I read about this and also about the competition for girls from boys competing as girls, I want to know:
what about Title IX and isn’t there a massive lawsuit in all of this?
The FBI – an agency within the DOJ – is involved in crimes against young girls who SHOULD have all kinds of protections –
a major conflict here where an agency under the DOJ is involved in criminal behavior against these girls as well as Title IX –
where is the NCAA on this as well?
Whatever happened to honor??
These Agents who lied to DOJ and Courts should be held to a higher accountability than a person unfamiliar with the law.
They need to be outed and given an opportunity publicly to state their defense.
America is realizing that the FBI should be ELIMINATED. This crooked and criminal agency took down 2 presidents and no doubt effected many other elections. They have NO TRUST and NO INTEGRITY for anything they do. Its lack of MORAL and VIRTUOUS LEADERSHIP has become legendary. These Cowards are just political puppets probably paid off, threatened and/or indoctrinated into marxist ops.
The FBI “rank and file” were probably participating in the sexual assaults just as they have participated in many terrorist plots.
Time for that entire agency to be disbanded.
Because this happened under Trump’s DoJ, you can bet the media are all getting their story straight about how this is a Trump scandal.
This will sound strange…but at the time there were people running the US Women’s Gymnastics Program who were not popular with the US Government and some of the very rich sponsors as well as media patrons, specifically Marta and Bela Karoly (sp) and several Russian immigrant coaches (and gym owners). There would have been NO successful US Women’s program without them. Once the program gained critical mass, the Karoly’s and Russians had the bad manners of not wanting to step aside for the right sponsors to take control.
This all has me wondering. Yes, there was abuse..no doubt…but this says there was more done to take advantage of the situation to smear those who needed to moved out of the way..
By the way for those throwing a round dates…this scandal goes further back to the Bush II Administration. One of my daughters was in gymnastics so I have had a long interest in this story as a parent. Although many of the same names from the DoJ and FBI attacking President Trump were involved at that early as well.
The original objective of this entire operation was the removal of the Karoly’s as well as certain US and Russian born coaches from the Team USA Women’s Gymnastics Program. A nice way to say thank-you for actually creating a US Women’s Team, now get out of the way while we make money.
Now it is morphing into something else aimed at new objectives:
Removal of loose ends
Removal of now uncooperative SWAMP creatures
Maybe smear President Trump
Diversion from election fraud
Oh, look! Bill Barr again protecting the FBI just as he did for the Ruby Ridge agents.
They do exactly as Obama directs them to do.
Unfortunately as time has gone by we have learned the FBI is an absolute disgrace. They no longer work for the safety of America, and in this case they turned a blind eye to RAPE and SEXUAL ABUSE of children.
You can not stoop any lower than this. APPALLING!!!
“no longer work FBI matters”?? Means they got promoted and no longer do field work.
Chris Ray and the rest of the Stazi goons under him are anti American, sickening trash. Sellout hoodlums with a badge, a virtual dream team for the anarchist gimmydats. Sickening.
Through all the nefarious and sometimes violent against US citizens, missions the FBI have been conducting, not one internal whistle-blower has come forward. All the blathering talk of how fine the rank and file are is nonsense. All the incidents are political in one direction. The agency isn’t just out of control in a random sense, it’s used as a political weapon. There is no doubt these officers would shoot to kill political opponents on a larger scale than the isolated violent incidents we have seen over the past few decades. My concern is will the US military shoot to kill its’ own people if/when its called upon to do so? The air force is shuttling unvetted illegal aliens (are they searched for meth and fentynal for the mule smugglers among them?) into the interior of our nation. The air force ordered personnel not to go public. This is patently illegal and the orders are illegal, yet they are followed. The CRT and allegations of systemic racism in the military is garbage. This is a purge conducted by political commisars to insure political loyalty to the regime. Under the Soviet model, (the Russian communists were far more practical minded than these woke, wimpy modern versions) an actual military officer retained command and was assigned a commisar to insure political purity, and was authorized to execute the military officer on the spot if he became problematic. The Soviets had purged their military of competent officers right before the invasion of Finland, suffered catastrophic losses and almost lost the 2 back to back stages of that war. Followed by the German socialist invasion,taught them that having actual military officers was critical.
The corruption of our military is of massive concern, and unforgivable. It is one of the only valid institutions of our federal government. Most should be disbanded, in fact never created in the first place.
If you still trust the FBI, you’re wrong. And I mean ALL OF THEM. It’s not just the leftist leadership.
My father was an old school homicide detective from the
Bronx who retired in 1984. He would often comment about the FBI that they had all the high tech equipment, all the money, and seemingly all the time in the world to solve crimes. They wouldn’t wrap up a case until they could make a big splash for the media, even though innocent people continued to be unnecessary victims in the interim. The FBI was very parochial about what they knew and didn’t like to share information. Many cops like my father didn’t care who got the credit – they just felt so bad for the victims, especially when children were involved. My guess is that these young gymnasts were inconsequential to these agents.
Maddening ,
It was FBI who started the defund the police departments plopa because they themselves should be !!
Why does the FBI even exist anymore? They have proven themselves to be incompetent, as well as useless. How many lives, especially these young athletes, have they ruined?
Their so-called leadership has been corrupt for years on end. They lie like rugs when they’re dragged to faux Senate committe hearings, and they get away with it. ENOUGH!
When your government is controlled by pedophiles this is what you can expect and it is only going to get worse until patriots and good people of all stripes band together and stop the global Satanic cabal.
If there are no repercussions for the FBI agents who failed to report this to state and local authorities, and no repercussions for the FBI agents who lied about it afterward, then what makes the FBI think this will not happen again in the future? This bureaucratic response is ridiculous. I’ve heard enough. Between all the other scandals and this one (there are dozens of scandals at the FBI, going back decades), it’s obvious that this organization is A) foul, unscrupulous, corrupt, and dishonest; and B) absolutely useless for any worthwhile purpose. It’s time to let this experiment at having a federal police force die a long-overdue death. We won’t miss them. The local and state cops do all the effective criminal work in this country and will do quite well without the politicians and lawyers at the FBI interfering. And by the way, in spite of the public relations work which is the only thing the FBI excels at, they are not a respected LEO organization at all. Police agencies around the world laugh at the FBI. If you want some entertaining reading, read about the scandals in the FBI forensics labs over the years.
Another oversight hearing—yawn.
Dismantle the FBI!!!! It’s corrupt to the core and can’t be fixed!!!
Note about FBI response: no mention of firings.
the problem (S) with corrupt institutionalized disorder is a factor of opportunity cost.
do one thing badly and that exerts a cost to doing other things well.
disorder. chaos…imbalance.
I’ve mentioned this before in several different threads over the years I different circumstances.
when corrupt actors seize control of power, they cannot do the simple things. it becomes a series of failures to do the basics.
this goes to discipline and leadership
we KNOW the DOJ and FBI are broken. at all critical levels they have been consumed with layers of too down aggressive political manipulation..and largely successful at it (on the most negative sense of the meaning of successful!)
at what cost?
the simple and straightforward matters are neglected.
thus, the need to coverup and gloss over them
I’m only surprised the DOJ AG even published the report
because that’s the next unnatural collapse.
when even the oversight and watchers just stop caring.
stage 3 advances
more are joining in a majority that stands in dissent to a corrupt and disordered central government.
the gap narrows because there are no other rational options. .choices are being made based on real hard ship and liberties stolen and promises not kept.
be unafraid.
get right with God…prepare your families. stay frosty.
God Bless America
