That's the only way to read the FBI's handling of its purported investigation into the rape of hundreds of girls perpetrated over the course of 18 years.
Falsifying victim statements.
Let that sink in for ten seconds.
Impossible to argue with this:
[Gymnast McKayla] Maroney testified that she was met with silence by an FBI agent after telling the agent of Nassar's "...molestations in extreme detail." She further stated that the FBI falsified her statement, said the agents involved should be indicted, and criticized Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco for not appearing at the hearing. [Gymnast Aly] Raisman testified that the FBI made her feel that the "abuse didn't count" but she felt said it "was like serving innocent children up to a pedophile on a silver platter.”
Institutional corruption and societal distrust are a mutually-reinforcing spiral.
We are just about at fusion levels in that process.
I mentioned on another social media platform that women in charge at the FBI wouldn't be a perfect solution, but I feel safe to say that men in charge should definitely be out. A decade or two. I wouldn't fire them, but slicing up their responsibilities, dropping them to the bottom of the promotion chain and assigning them to scut work would be fine with me. Too many women close to me and others I've known in ministry have been vicimtized. If I was feeling red hot over this news yesterday, I'm sure actual survivors are on the warpath over it. Those unable to follow them need to stay the h*** home on this one.
