Sandusky federal probe may have different focus

It's fairly clear the federal investigation into Penn State University won't be a duplication of the grand jury probe that led to charges of more than 50 counts of child sex abuse against Jerry Sandusky.

Instead, federal authorities seem to be stepping into areas where the state attorney general's office hasn't gone.

This time, they seem to be exploring the possibility of a cover-up at Penn State, as well as possible bribes, fraud, or misuse of federal money, according to three former federal prosecutors asked to independently review the subpoena Penn State received February 2.

    I would hope that the investigation into; bribes, fraud, and misuse of Federal $$ will not OVERSHADOW the charges and subsequent trial of Sandusky.

    The investigation should be named "The FEDERAL – PROBING of Jerry Sandusky"

    One more thought. If this investigation yields more arrests, specifically in a "cover-up"... you are then considered an accomplice to that crime. Imagine being out in public and seeing someone being rayped! Who the heck goes to the "campus police" ?

    This was a federal crime! As the federal government is changing its longstanding definition of “forcible raype” in compiling national crime statistics — expanding both the definition of victims, to include males, and the types of s e x u a l assault that will be counted in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Report.

    Reminder... Pedo's like both

    Men who ONLY do boys are unequivocally g a y which will lead to "intent" under prosecutions burden of proof.

    Women who are attracted to men ... does anyone see something wrong with that ?
    Men who are attracted to women ... would anyone see something wrong with that ?
    Men who are attracted to "males" ... does ANYONE see something wrong with that ? ... posing that question to all

    Dig into the bible before you answer that last question.

    "I reject all the biblical views of the truth
    Dismiss it as the folklore of the times
    I won't be force-fed prophecies
    From the book of untruths for the weakest mind
    I keep the bible in a pool of blood
    So that none of its lies can affect me"

      Ok, so I'm silly then President Obama who swore on the Bible and 85% of Americans are as well.
      You must be in the 15% who would rather enjoy Satan as your God and all HIS false teachings.

    Why does it sort of bother me to see "Sandusky" and "probe" used in the same sentence?

      They wrote it that way for a reason, of course...
      Inquiry would have been my choice, but then, I'm not much into posting for shock value.

      Hi.

    Generally speaking, Americans believe in God and have no problem with our president's swearing an oath on the bible or our congress praying for guidance before each and every session. Where americans have trouble with God is when God's laws prohibit certain actions in the bedroom. (just like the US military code outlawing sodomy for troops) As long as the law stays out of their bedrooms, most Americans have no trouble with abiding by it. But once that law governs bedrooms, people begin to question it...even throw rocks at it and it's author.
