In her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the gymnast said the FBI's inaction 'allowed a child molester to go free.'
The recent Department of Justice report also found that FBI officials lied during interviews to cover up their mistakes during the investigation while one agent was actively in talks with gymnastics officials about a job working for the Olympic Committee.
“Deputy General Lisa Monaco couldn’t even bring herself to be here today, and it is the Department of Justice’s job to hold them accountable. I am tired of waiting for people to do the right thing.”Larry Nassar is currently serving a 300-year prison sentence for sexual assaults on children that date back to at least 1997. USA Gymnastics was sued by more than 500 gymnasts who claim to have been abused by the doctor.
Denying trying to get a job on the Olympic Committee? Do you have any idea how easily verifiable that is? There was paperwork! Did they think no one was going to check on that?And then I remembered it’s a White Man’s World. They don’t have to be good at lying. Nothing will happen to them aside from losing their jobs.
