I'll play.
After reading the junk spewed by Herbstreith and Desmond, I was wondering...
Now that the lawsuits have been settled, has anyone had an interview with Mike McQ about his opinion on Joe, a cover-up (?), and how PSU handled JS during 2001 and beyond? I'd love to have him vindicate the program (and I'm assuming that McQ would back the assertion that Joe took it up the chain and never had any intention of hiding or covering for anyone)... and also calling out the specific PSU and Second Mile personnel who "should have done more"...
I'd like to see something done... the negativity and filth still being spread by the MSM about PSU's role in the JS scandal is downright depressing...
Mike has always stated that he loved Joe, is fiercely protective of him, and that Joe did the right thing. So there's that...........
I believe he feels that Old Main and by extent - Second Mile are harboring something more evil. That I just don't know - I can't give these people credit for anything more awful than corruption, self-dealing and money laundering. Without digging into TSM, who the hell knows?
I too would like "something done" - but our OAG shut down the TSM investigation that Bruce Castor put into motion and destroyed files the day he left office - SO WHO THE HELL CAN WE TRUST NOW?
Franky "Porn Fingers" Fina and his fellow gunslingers used Mike to carry out an assassination via a PA grand jury presentment. But instead of with sniper precision - they torched the place. Pennsylvania's presentment system bypasses many of the procedural protections provided by federal criminal law. It does not protect innocent witnesses, nor does it provide an opportunity for witnesses mentioned by name to file any kind of legal response. Naming Joe more than implied he had committed a crime as far as the (sports) media was concerned.
Mike and Joe, along with Tim, Gary & Graham were at ground zero and the nuclear fallout spread out across the commonwealth.
Penn State's goose was being cooked all along down in Harrisburg by porn-addled, swaggering, preening prosecutors and there wasn't a damned thing anyone could have done about it - who expects the OAG to target your university president as a trophy kill, especially when the person being investigated by the grand jury was no longer employed at PSU (for years) and the alleged crimes all had their roots over at Second Mile with their minor clients by their executive director?
These cases are still tied up in appeals - I have no idea how this works, but it must be a special kind of hellish limbo to be in. If only Fap Fina had just skipped right along the reporting chain to Dr. Jack Raykovitz & his wife and charged them - everyone would have won - and the epic cost to so many lives, livelihoods & the community.......sigh.
