Level 8 · 3 mo ago> I just signed your death warrant. Good. What an absolute betrayal. MSU and USA Gymnastics had ONE job. They protected a predator for decades. Good riddance.

Level 2 · 3 mo agoI checked that 2021 DOJ report and it is 100% true... the FBI really did sit on the case for 17 months doing absolutely nothing. Just pathetic how these huge organizations protected a predator.
