You'll never guess what independent conclusion Louis Freeh came to on June 26, 2012

Who was the initial frontrunner for the job, Chertoff? I just remember it being someone with integrity. Anyways, there's a reason Frazier wouldn't hire him.
I also hear that there is a previously unnoticed handwritten marginalia stating "I, Louis Freeh, certify that I am a penis."
He had to use extra small handwriting.
How much did PSU and the OGBOT PAY the asshat for conclusions like this??
Well, he does have the one eye thing going on
It's all fun and games until we poke freeh's eye out. Then it's really fun.
I think it was something like 400 tuitions.
Kind of puts Ira Lubert and his quote to Anthony Lubrano in perspective - "What do you think about your guys, now?"
Yes, and here's another line by Louis that somehow got no media attention:
This Freeh Report should have completely exonerated Joe Paterno's role in this whole mess. But the powers that be needed their scapegoat and now we're trying to climb out of a half billion dollars worth of damage to the university.
The report went outside the University to CYS caseworker Jack Raykovitz who informed TSM director Bruce Heim who decided to bury the report.
No idea why I even open threads like this and read this garbage. It just makes my blood boil. Evil people running Penn State did this to cover an even greater evil. And they won.
Which, ironically, if one reads the reporting statute at the time, should have been sufficient.
In fairness, you and I and John Q. Public were never the intended audience for this document.
The reason was..........his firm was capable of doing the investigation thoroughly and independently and Freeh was not, especially, since he had to sub out most of the work to Pepper Hamilton. How Freeh ........convinced Frazer to give him 8M to provide the needed results ........remains a mystery.
The media swallowed it right up as Joe doing the right thing isn't a story. Making this about a huge football coverup when Jerry was 2 years retired and this was a decade later....well we need web hits and ratings after all. Just think about the coverage and how easily the BoT steered it there. That was some DC level manipulation.
And for this Emmert vacated wins and nuked the program.
For contextual purposes, this 6/26/2012 email from Louis Freeh was sent 16 days prior to the report's public release. Noteworthy that the A7 report indicates the Freeh report had been completed/submitted/reviewed with NCAA & B1G officials well prior to it's public release.
Basically, in Freeh's own words, his report and press conference were flat out fraud. Yet Barron and the BOT support and cover up for him.
Penn State took the loyalty and support of generations of fans and alumni and took a big stinky crap all over it. Then they wonder why we're bitter and why nobody trusts them.
Fifty years from now, either a law professor or a journalism class will be given the Freeh report evidence (with names changed) and have them come up with conclusions. Then they will be given the conclusions Freeh presented. Only then will Penn State truly be vindicated.
I hope Spanier's lawyers for his defamation case are taking copious notes. They should also have the members of the bot firmly in their crosshairs.
I wish I could have open season with a baseball bat with a couple of these lying thieves. They've stolen so much from all of us.
Not if morons like sara ganim are the teachers.
Actually, they don't wonder at all. They pay it no mind.

Exactly much like Barron offering up his thoughts on the Freeh report.... instead he just makes sure there is extra onion dip for the all you can eat buffet at the next board meeting.
Freeh is nothing but a whore. Not a cheap hooker doing it for drug money, but like a high priced one who goes on an oil shiek's yacht for a few months .
Which is why I donate $4.09 every year to PSU. Refuse to give one extra cent. I get by, barely, by knowing that all these rotten scumbags will be meeting their maker someday, and JVP will be standing behind St. peter with that wry smile on his face waving bye-bye as they are all banished to hell.
Speaking of, still not one mention of the story on Pennlie.
I had many arguments about this on this board. There was simply no way that a consent decree costing tens of millions of dollars was done in a couple of days. This whole thing was a sham from day one. Still....no accountability for the true organization at fault: The Second Mile.
Devoid of any snark or sarcasm...I am being completely serious:
Will someone please explain what "There is a stronger case to be made for 'protecting the university' than JP [Joe Paterno] or the 'FB [football] program' -- which is never really articulated in any evidence I have seen" MEANS? How are you all interpreting it. Context would be very appreciated.
Again, I'm not taking a position or trying to start an argument, I just want to know how you are interpreting that statement, in context of the run-up-to the release of the Freeh Report and the conclusions therein.
Thanks

Easy peasy.....he is saying "you need to throw the football team under the bus to protect the BOT and Second Mile." They were happy to trash the brand in order to save the BOT.
It is pretty simple...but it is in hieroglyphics that only Freeh and the BOT can read and understand.

I don't understand how they spelled 'Pennsylvania' wrong on the freakin' cover of their report.
Sure:
On a micro scale, the statement speaks for itself: there isn't any evidence that there was a cover up to protect JVP or PSU football (Freeh seems to believe there is some evidence of a cover up to protect the university as a whole, on which I disagree with him). This is pretty huge for a number of reasons including below.
On a larger scale, this reinforces that the executive summary of the Freeh report (i.e. what he said at his press conference) isn't even backed up by his own report. So even if the report itself has some investigative value (I would argue it has very little), the "version" the report presented to the public (through the press conference and executive summary) tells a very different story, i.e. pinning it on football, even though that's not what the investigation found.
That's pretty huge.
It means that Freeh's stated position either underwent a dramatic change in a very short period of time or his press conference assertion of a "cover-up to protect football" is an outright lie.
