And thanks to an Inspector General's report, now we know it was even worse at the FBI, with a head agent lying to cover his mismanagement and a money-grubbing conflict of interest.
[W. Jay] Abbott, the former chief of the Indianapolis field office, gave inaccurate information to the media to cover up his office's failures and made false statements to DOJ investigators during two interviews, according to the report. Abbott, who is now retired from the FBI, also exercised "extremely poor judgment" and violated the FBI's conflict-of-interest policies by discussing a possible job at the U.S. Olympic Committee with Penny while his office was investigating the Nassar allegations.
The consequences? When you're a Made Man in The House That J. Edgar Built, there are none.
The federal government declined to prosecute them last year, according to the report.
Equal* Justice Under Law.
The connected protect their own.
But, as Martha Stewart can tell you, don't you dare lie to them.
Can't have the gears of the criminal justice system deformed by falsehood! And prison is necessary to deter others from acting similarly, don't you know?

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
