Maggie Nichols Blasts FBI’s Handling of the Nassar Investigation: Why ‘These Individuals Who Chose Not To Do Their Jobs?’

EXCERPT:

NICHOLS: “The OAG report found that senior FBI officials lied to the inspector general, engaged in serious conflicts of interest and tried to cover up one of the biggest child sexual abuse scandals in the history of amateur sports. Both reports uncovered serious and possible criminal misconduct by those at the highest level of the Olympic Committee, our sport and the FBI. Despite these findings of serious and criminal misconduct throughout the FBI, U.S.A.G. and U.S.O.P.C. no accountable has occurred. An important question remains, perhaps the most important question, why? Why would the FBI agents lie to OIG investigators? Why would the FBI not properly document evidence that was received? Why would the FBI agent be interested in the U.S.A.G. presidency? These questions remain unanswered. And the survivors of Larry Nassar have a right to know why their well-being was placed in jeopardy by these individuals who chose not to do their jobs. To date no one from the FBI, the U.S.O.P.C. or U.S.A.G. has faced federal charges other than Larry Nassar. For many hundreds of survivors of Larry Nassar, this hearing is one of our last opportunities to get justice. We ask that you do what is in your power to ensure those that engaged in wrongdoing are held accountable under the law.”
