This post is by a blogger who has been critiquing Corbett's investigations for over 7 years. To try to find out the identity of this blogger, Corbett actually convened a top secret Grand Jury to issue a subpoena to Twitter ordering them to reveal the name of this blogger. The subpoena also ordered Twitter to not reveal that they had received a subpoena. Fortunately, Twitter laughed at Corbett and went public, without revealing the identity.

Anyway, here is what this blogger has to say about the revelation that PA. Attorney General changed their policy to start permanently scrubbing all emails from their system that were more than 6 months old - at the same time that they realized just had badly they had screwed up the Sandusky investigation, and how it was about to be a national scandal.

Excerpt:

"There's nothing in the public record to suggest that Corbett ever seriously intended to investigate Aaron Fisher's complaint against Sandusky. Corbett has publicly declared that he had determined he could not pursue the case without additional victims. And although Sandusky's charity The Second Mile put Sandusky in well-documented contact with hundreds of potential victims - Sandusky had even included the names of some of his victims in his 2001 memoir, Touched - for two years, no one from the OAG ever reached out to any of them.

It's fair to suppose that if the case had relied solely on the investigative efforts of the OAG, Jerry Sandusky might still be a free man.

In December of 2010, the mother of Victim 6 reached out to investigators after journalist Sara Ganim gave her their contact information.

Victim 6's complaint against Sandusky had been investigated by Centre County authorities in 1998. Corbett's office ostensibly had been investigating Sandusky since March of 2009. That they could have failed to identify Victim 6 over the course of two years - if they had been looking - is inconceivable. It's impossible to conclude that they were doing any active investigation during that time.

It was Victim 6's mother who told investigators about the book, Touched - again, it defies imagination that they wouldn't have known about it had they been conducting an active investigation. It was she who went through the book with investigators and identified victims 3, 4, 5 and 7."

To provide one indication of how shallow Corbett's investigation of Sandusky had been, they didn't even realize that Sandusky had written a book entitled "Touched." The book was for sale on Amazon. The book included descriptions of Sandusky's relationship with many of his victims, and even included names and photos of many of them.

1. Does it just implicate Penn State pedophiles?

Or, does it also implicate all of the fans of that sport? Those pedophile defenders have never answered the question of why they would defend child rape unless they were pedophiles themselves. The entire thing is just nasty.
