Accountability: Simone Biles, 89 others sue FBI for $1B over bungled Nassar probe
A group representing 90 young women — including U.S. Olympic team gymnasts Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney and Aly Raisman — filed federal tort claims against the FBI on Wednesday, seeking more than $1 billion in damages for the bureau’s mishandling of its investigation into sexual abuse by former U.S. Olympic team doctor Larry Nassar.
The majority of the claimants say Nassar abused them after his abuse was reported to the FBI in 2015, during a yearlong period in which no meaningful investigative action was taken and Nassar continued to sexually abuse young women and children. Many are athletes who were associated with the USA Gymnastics program or with Michigan State University, where Nassar maintained a clinic.
The Justice Department announced just before the Memorial Day weekend that the individual FBI agents whom the inspector general identified as responsible for the failure of the investigation — and for subsequent attempts to mislead investigators for the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General — would not face charges.
That in itself caused considerable outrage on Capitol Hill. The inspector general that first probed the FBI’s response to allegations of sexual abuse by Nassar concluded not just that the investigators bungled the probe but that they then lied about their actions to investigators. That it itself is a criminal offense, which raised questions about why the DoJ declined to pursue the matter further:
The Justice Department’s Criminal Division initiated a new review of the agents in October, just months after the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General found the pair had failed to address claims by gymnasts that Nassar had sexually abused them “with the urgency that the allegations required.”
The report further suggested that the two agents lied to investigators to “make it appear that they had been diligent in responding to the sexual abuse allegations.” …
“This decision is infuriating. FBI agents who knew of Larry Nassar’s abuse, did nothing, and then lied about it will face no legal consequences for their actions,” Sens. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Jerry Moran, R-Kan., said in a joint statement.
“Our frustrations are compounded by the fact that the Department has provided no public explanation for this decision,” they added. “As we have noted before, the Justice Manual authorizes a case-closing letter explaining the Department’s decision-making in similar situations, especially where law enforcement officers are accused of misconduct or criminal behavior. This case certainly qualifies for such treatment.”
Put simply, this decision is a disgrace. It smacks of a continuing cover-up in the DoJ in the Nassar case, or at the very least a desire to prevent accountability for failures. One has to wonder whether the fact that this failure took place under the Barack Obama and Loretta Lynch-era FBI — and the James Comey FBI, for that matter — has something to do with the Merrick Garland-Joe Biden era DoJ’s reluctance to hold people accountable for it.
If Biles et al can’t get accountability through the DoJ, they naturally want to turn to the judiciary for satisfaction. But will it work? The statute under which this lawsuit will proceed may...
VACCINES need NEW WARNING: Sarcoma cancer tumor may develop at vaccine injection site
Be forewarned: Persistent scab at vaccine injection site can become cancerous in just weeks or months
From HPV to Hepatitis B, and from polio injections to tetanus shots, doctors have recorded and documented sarcoma cancer tumors developing at the site of injection, and the cancer does not take very long to start rearing its ugly head. Normal cell growth gets interrupted by deadly toxins used to manufacture vaccines, including genetically modified viruses, altered bacteria and several adjuvants (toxic carriers) and emulsifiers used to foster and stimulate immune reactions. These cancerous lesions have roots that grow deep over time, making them tougher for surgeons to remove safely.
Many carcinogenic vaccine ingredients, as listed on the CDC vaccine excipient web table, include but are not limited to, aluminum, mercury, recombinant human albumin, formaldehyde, industrial-based dyes, urea (animal urine), polysorbate 80, bovine albumin, infected African Green Monkey cells, latex and the list just goes on and on. No wonder the site of injection becomes infected and cancerous, along with other parts of the body. Got a scab at the vaccine injection site that just won’t go away? May be cancerous, but the vaccine warning label does NOT forewarn you, and neither do the doctors and nurses.
Vaccine injection site cancers common with adjuvant-concocted vaccines in North America and Great Britain
Doctors and immunologists always say the same tired excuse about the toxins in vaccines – there’s “not enough in there” to cause any serious problems. Wrong. Since when is a malignant, sarcoma cancer tumor at the site of the vaccine injection not a serious problem? The adjuvant-loaded vaccines are supposed to...
Lakrisha MacEvil's 10 year Old Daughter, Known As "Florida Girl", Shot Her Mother's Rival Down: Bang Bang...
“You shouldn’t have messed with my mother,” the 10-year-old girl, who was arrested on Tuesday, reportedly yelled at the time, according to NBC Orlando affiliate WESH, citing sheriff’s deputies.
The girl’s mom faces a host of charges in connection with the incident.
The tragic encounter apparently occurred during a barbeque in a courtyard outside an Orlando apartment complex late on Memorial Day evening. First responders transported the victim to a local hospital where she was subsequently pronounced dead
“Orlando police said Lashun Denise Rodgers, 41, and Lakrisha Isaac, 31, got into a physical fight. At some point, Isaac handed a bag that contained a gun to her daughter, and the girl fired two rounds, striking Rodgers, according to police,” CBS Orlando affiliate WKMG claimed.
The victim was reportedly shot in the head.
Prior social media posts were reportedly the source of the dispute between the two adults.
Cops arrested Isaac at the scene. Pursuant to the Orange County Department of Corrections database, she allegedly faces a slew of charges including manslaughter by culpable negligence, aggravated assault with a firearm, child neglect, and negligent storage of a firearm.
The youngster who was initially placed in the custody of the Department of Children and Families is currently detained at the local Juvenile Justice Center.
The investigation is ongoing, and additional facts and circumstances may come to light as a result.
“A witness told police that Isaac threw the first punch at Rodgers and the two started fighting, according to Isaac’s arrest report. He tried to break up the fight, but as he turned around he saw the girl holding the gun and heard the shots,” the Miami Herald reported.
Reacting to this ghastly situation, Orange County State Attorney Monique Worrell, a Democrat, said “This is one of the most tragic cases I have seen in my 22-year career.”
Worrell added that “We want to be clear in stating that no charging decision has been made by our office. However, we anticipate that whatever charges we eventually file, if any, will ensure [the child] receives the interventions necessary to address her behavior, help her change and grow, and ensure the public’s safety going forward.”
As a candidate for the office, Worrell had said that “I believe that the minimum age of arrest should be 14…Arrests, prison, jail — those are traumatic experiences that significantly scar our children for the future.”

Why Handwritten FBI And DOJ Notes The Special Counsel Just Released Are Huge
Recently released handwritten notes from a briefing of the acting attorney general on the status of Crossfire Hurricane reveal the FBI either lied about the source of intel or the British intelligence community fed information to the U.S. agents investigating Donald Trump and his associates.
As part of the pre-trial discovery in the government’s prosecution of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, the special counsel provided defense lawyers notes taken on March 6, 2017, during a high-level briefing of acting Attorney General Dana Boente about the then-ongoing investigation into supposed Russia collusion.
Boente, who held oversight of the DOJ and FBI related to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation because of then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s recusal, received an update during the meeting from the FBI’s then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, then-assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division Bill Priestap, and Counterintelligence Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok. DOJ officials Tashina Gauhar, Mary McCord, and Scott Schools took notes during the briefing, and those notes became public during the Sussmann trial that ended in an acquittal last week.
Soon after the release of the notes, Hans Mahncke and Stephen McIntyre detailed for The Federalist, several passages that indicated the FBI had lied to the DOJ during the March 6, 2017 meeting in numerous ways. From the cryptic notes, Mahncke and McIntyre deciphered and exposed several significant false storylines sold to the acting attorney general, making their article a must-read.
While any lies, misrepresentations, or material omissions matter—or should, especially when told to the acting attorney general related to an investigation connected to the president of the United States, the note’s references to “CROWN reporting” prove particularly significant because of the FISA court’s insistence that the DOJ included Christopher Steele’s background as an MI6 agent in the FISA application prior to the secret surveillance court issuing an order to surveil Carter Page.
The phrase “CROWN Reporting” appeared multiple times in one set of handwritten notes taken during McCabe, Priestap, and Strzok’s March 6, 2017, FBI briefing of the DOJ and Acting Attorney General Boente. Next to “CROWN Reporting,” the notes referenced “convention,” Crimea” and “NATO” and “soften stance for exchange of Russian energy stocks.” These notations fell under the header of points related to Manafort.
A second reference to “CROWN source reporting” came during the FBI’s briefing of Boente concerning the investigation of Carter Page, with the notation following the general discussion of Page.
The notes do not elaborate on the “CROWN source” or who provided the “CROWN source reporting.” There are two possibilities, both of which have huge implications for the ongoing special counsel investigation.
First, the claimed “CROWN source” could be...
