FBI's botching of the Larry Nassar case needs to be investigated

Even though there wasn’t much else he could say, it’s significant that FBI director Christopher Wray apologized Wednesday to the victims of Larry Nassar for the Bureau’s myriad failures in its sexual assault investigation of the former gymnastics doctor.

It just isn’t enough.

To summarize briefly, when given a credible complaint via USA Gymnastics about Nassar molesting gymnasts, the FBI’s Indianapolis field office did almost no actual investigating and shared no information with other authorities, effectively giving Nassar nearly a year to continue assaulting girls.
