    The FBI knows exactly whom they could have interviewed re: what happened at Yale in 1983-84. The agency did not act on that knowledge, for reasons one can guess. Anyone who describes what did occur as a "thorough investigation" is either dishonest or disqualifyingly misinformed.

    I read the FBI report. This whole thing is a sham. This stunted, strangled investigation was designed to provide cover, not to provide the truth.
