Senate Holds Hearing On FBI Handling Of Larry Nassar Investigation

[@josephinebillingslea8599]

The FBI and others involved in the Nasser case should all be stripped of their pay, health insurance, retirement plan and owe these victims of sexual abuse their pay, benefits and retirement benefits as well as health insurance! Put in Leavenworth Prison for the remainder of their lives!

[@mylifeyourpain5333]

all of them should go to prison

[@joy518]

ditto, they too must be charged, they lied, covered up and enabled sexual abuse to continue.

To all these young gymnasts, thank you for ripping open the door to the conspiracy of silence. I am 66 years old, and what you young women have done today is a cosmic blast to the door to the conspiracy of silence. Not only are you the heroes for the future of both girls and boys, but you are a soothing balm to many, many of us in the past. Stay strong.

They were fired so they could discredit them ... after all .. these 2 agents are low level scapegoats ... firing them means the ones who remain won't answer to anything they reveal ... somebody told them not to proceed. Discrediting them in advance protects the real criminals

WHY WHY WHY did the DOJ decline to prosecute FBI agents that failed their duty to these victims? They must answer this.

[@RobertPecore]

The fbi agent that supervised the case resigned before the investigation was completed. Technically, the supervisor didnt break any laws, so the fbi has no recourse. Had he been employed as the investigation completed, he would have been called out.

[@JJSo12345]

@@RobertPecore True…but I’m asking why the DOJ has declined to prosecute these 2 FBI field agents. One agent altered one gymnast’s interview-that is obstruction of justice, in my opinion. Plus, the 2 agent’s response to the gymnast’s allegations was exceedingly slow. See Christopher Wray’s full testimony and questioning.

All these senators asking the panel "What do you think we should do." SERIOUSLY - it's THE SENATORS' JOB to figure it out! Finally at 2:00:53 Senator Ossoff said the right thing, "The burden isn't on you. The burden is on us to make the system better." They told you that the system is broken, but they are no expert in government. So ridiculous how the other people kept asking these women "oh we hear you so what should we do?" Also - Nassar and the system did not fail "women", they failed CHILDREN. The panel kept trying to steer them back to how the abused were children. That is a very important distinction.

This could have been stopped earlier but TEXAS dropped Nassars charges and let him walk! Larry Nassar, the former sports doctor who admitted molesting some of the nation's top gymnasts, had six charges for second-degree sexual assault of a child dropped by the Walker County District. Attorney HUNTSVILLE, Texas - A survivor referred to him as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” Larry Nassar sexually assaulted multiple athletes during his tenure with USA Gymnastics and Michigan State Victims said assaults occurred at the Karolyi Ranch, located deep in the Sam Houston National Forest near Huntsville, Texas.

Children are sexual abused in foster care and nothing is done by this government entity. Nothing is done. This too needs to be addressed

BEYOND< this horror. There are plenty of highly skilled women who would, by a long shot, better serve these female athletes who are already in a pressure cooker of high stress. Highly sophisticated methods which are qualitatively superior and more supportive for athletes are not even welcomed into these high-level physical sports. Why are men chosen? That's question #1? Female Athletes who perform at such a high level deserve the BEST, not the Good old boys club who we know to be the very worst.
