The “shutdown” by those who want to put illegal gang-bangers ahead of Americans has been taking up most of the national news. It just ended, as President Trump smashed his opponents and gave up nothing in the process.
It diverted attention away from a soon-to-be horrible beatdown of the FBI and maybe certain top Democrats who top FBI people have been servicing.
The FBI’s latest stoogefest? Claiming they lost five months of e-mails between cheaters Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, two of the top anti-Trump illegal plotters.
Those who destroyed this evidence deserve prison terms, with prison uniforms marked “FBI” so the other inmates will know how to interact with them, if you catch my drift.
President Trump and his allies are about to take a number of people to school as they cycle them thru the criminal justice system. FBI is about to mean “frequently being imprisoned.”
Meanwhile, we need to take a look at another national story. It will help us protect our children.
Larry Nassar, a doctor of osteopathy and highly regarded trainer working at Michigan State University, is a child porn convict, and is now a serial sexual abuser convict. His victims? Aspiring young girls who wanted to be top gymnasts. And a few young female Michigan State softball, soccer, and volleyball players who trusted him as their trainer. In all, at least 150 girls and very young women were his victims.
Among his victims are many girls who put on a leotard for the U.S. gymnastics team in the Olympics since 1996. Nassar also served with USA Gymnastics as the girls’ team doctor and trainer for a number of years. In his plea deal, Nasser is owning up to sexually assaulting 10 girls.
Most of the girls kept quiet when the perv felt them up or penetrated them with his fingers. He was able to con some of them that putting a finger in their vaginas or anuses for prolonged periods would help him treat their back or hip pain. They were too young to know any better. They wanted to be top gymnasts so badly the vast majority of them didn’t tell their parents. In some cases he did the girls this way while a parent was in the training room but not paying much attention.
At least four girls, three of them younger than 18, did complain to female MSU staffers. Michigan State has a large community gymnastics program for young girls. In all cases, they said, the women officials blew them off.
A woman who seemed a real enabler was MSU’s women’s gym coach, one Kathie Klages. Two teenage girls in a youth gymnastics program the university was hosting in the late 1990s complained to her Larry Nasser had parked his fingers inside them for long periods. They said she asked them who else knew. Nothing happened to Nassar.
One mother of a victim said Ms. Klages told her the digital penetration Nassar did on her girl was a “legal medical procedure.” Supposedly there is a procedure for pain relief to the lower back or the hips that involves this, but if someone put a finger up your backside without your consent that person would need pain relief after you started beating him or her over the head or kicked him or her in the crotch. (We are gender inclusive here as there are a large number of lesbians in female athletics.)
One of the teens complained to a female training supervisor at MSU named Destiny Teachnor-Hauk. I’m not sure whether that is a better name for a pole dancer or a Germanic domme or a mythical heroine in feminist studies literature.
A MSU softballer named Tiffany Lopez complained about Nassar’s unique brand of penetrative therapy to Ms. Destiny, and the woman reportedly replied, “He does this to all the other athletes. You either suck it up or you don’t play.”
So much for taking it for the team.
The victims said Michigan State’s top people ignored them for about 20 years.
One mother took her daughter to the local police in 2004 to file a sexual assault charge against Nassar. The case was never prosecuted.
Rachael Denhollander — Victim and Avenger
How did Nassar get away with it for so long?
Nassar was the right hand man of gym coach John Geddert. Geddert is one of the best gymnastics coaches in the world. He was the coach of the US girls’ gymnastics teams that won the 2012 London Olympics. Geddert and Nassar were stars in USA Gymnastics, the group charged with training and assembling American gymnastics teams for international competitions, including the Olympics. Nassar was popular in his own right; he helped the littlest heroine Kerri Strug when she injured herself at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He was a U.S. Olympics team doctor for multiple Olympics games.
Geddert, some say, could be a charmer the girls wanted to please. But he also could be a screamer who bullied and intimidated the girls. He ran long grueling practices, which caused many girls pain and injuries. Nassar, the trainer, comforted many of them whose spirit Geddert had stomped on during practices. He sneaked them food and candy. He massaged them (figuratively and literally) and made some of them feel special. And he molested some of them in the process.
So why didn’t Geddert can Nassar? One victim say he saw Nassar reportedly digitally penetrating her vagina, and Geddert said something like, “So your back really did hurt!”
Nassar evidently talked parents out of reporting Geddert for physical nonsexual assault. There had to be some reciprocity somewhere, one would think.
A coed athlete finally got the attention of MSU higher-ups in 2014. She complained Nassar molested her during treatment. Supposedly William Strampel, the dean of the Michigan State College of Osteopathic Medicine, made a report to campus police and to the Title IX people on campus to sort it out. Nassar was Strampel’s subordinate at MSU.
Kristine Moore, the MSU Title IX official who “investigated,” found Nassar did nothing wrong after the coed reported him for molesting her. Dr. Brooke Lemmen, an associate of Nassar’s, hid girls’ medical files from Ms. Moore, allegedly. She misled the easily-misled Kristie Moore about Nassar. The Title IX “investigation” went away.
Strampel, the dean, welcomed Nassar back to the fold after the alleged investigation went his way. He did make Nassar agree to do certain things in his medical sessions with the girls. Things like wearing a glove and using lube and having a “chaperone” present while treating a girl and determining extended vaginal or anal penetration was necessary for her well-being. And having her informed consent or the informed consent of her parents if she was too young. Nassar agreed, and kept working at Michigan State into late 2016.
Evidently the MSU campus police weren’t so ready to give Nassar a clean slate. They reported Nassar’s actions to the county prosecutor. The Ingham County prosecutor, Stuart Dunnings III (D), or his subordinates, decided not to prosecute Nassar. Nassar, in the meantime, parted company with USA Gymnastics in 2015.
But Nassar’s luck was about to change. Reporters from the Indianapolis Star in 2016 investigated USA Gymnastics. The group is in Indianapolis. So is the NCAA, whose goofs routinely overlook recruiting and academic violations. They would have oversight of college sports teams like women’s gymnastics, soccer, softball, and volleyball, whose athletes Nassar treated.
The reporters discovered several gymnastics coaches were raping and/or molesting children (mostly girls) and USA Gymnastics officials were not reporting the crimes they committed.
One of Nassar’s earliest victims, Rachael Moxon, had left Michigan, married, and was working at a Kentucky law school when she read the Indianapolis Star’s exposé. Even though the article didn’t mention Nassar, she realized Nassar was part of the USA Gymnastics “family.” She decided to come forward. Rachael, now married and known as Rachael Denhollander, in her early 30s, and the mother of three children, contacted the Star and also filed a police report with the Michigan State University police in 2016. It was on.
Strampel and/or another MSU official fired Nassar in late 2016 after two more girls or coeds complained he molested them. This happened after Rachael Denhollander made her charges, and Nassar let them know there might be some fallout.
USA Gymnastics officials, under the glare, claim they fired Nassar in 2015 and told the FBI about him and their other predator coaches. But the FBI did not act in a forceful way, according to two of Nassar’s well-known victims.
Sarah Jantzi, the coach of Maggie Nichols, who was trying out for the US women’s gymnastic team for the 2016 Rio Olympics, reported Nassar to USA Gymnastics officials in 2015. Maggie detailed what Nassar did to her to USA Gymnastics officials. Maggie’s mother Gina Nichols said a USA Gymnastics official called but wanted to keep the crimes secret. She said no one from the FBI contacted Maggie until July 2016, right before the trials to determine if she would make the team. Maggie injured herself at the trials and had to miss the Olympics.
Aly Raisman, a star of the Olympics in 2012 and in 2016, said USA Gymnastics officials held off really helping with the investigation until after the 2016 Olympics ended. She said she would not allow the head of USA Gymnastics be present at the interview she had with an FBI agent about Nassar in the fall of 2016, a year after USA Gymnastics officials said they contacted the FBI.
Why the wait? Maybe plotting against Trump, fixing cases for Hillary, and leaking illegal surveillance info to political operatives took up the FBI’s precious time.
One FBI agent would take part in MSU police’s 2017 investigation of what MSU officials knew about Nassar’s molestations. But the fed didn’t drive the probe.
MSU campus cops found out Brooke Lemmen was involved in the Nassar cover-up so they squeezed Ms. Lemmen in early 2017. She admitted helping hide more of Dr. Nassar’s patient files. She soon resigned.
Meanwhile Patrick Fitzgerald, the lawyer MSU hired to “investigate” their leaders, “earned” his fee by duly claiming with a straight face he investigated but could only conclude top MSU officials were unaware of what Nassar was doing to girls in his care on their campus. In other words, the Moe Howard defense: “We were not crooks, we were stooges.”
Nice try, shyster. MSU’s dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Title IX people and the campus police knew about the case. Only the campus cops took it seriously enough to bring it to the attention of the local prosecutor, who folded. Michigan State is a power in that twerp’s county. Most prosecutors are not brave enough to take on a power.
The victims charged Fitzgerald never contacted them.
Fitzgerald has already shared his “opinion” with Michigan’s attorney general. He will probably not get far with that line in the civil case more than 150 of the girls and young women have filed against Nassar and MSU and USA gymnastics.
McKayla Maroney, the gal with the “unimpressed” face, has already reportedly gotten $1.25 million in a separate settlement with the defendants. They thought they were buying her silence, but it is illegal to make such a settlement with a victim of crime. She can talk, but for awhile, she thought she couldn’t.
Kathie Klages resigned in 2017 after MSU officials suspended her for being too supportive of Nassar after they fired him.
Strampel, the dean of the Michigan State College of Osteopathic Medicine, who was okay with Nassar back in 2014 but reportedly fired him in 2016, resigned as dean in December 2017.
His former bro Nassar drew a 60-year sentence for child pornography in December 2017.
Nassar has not received his sentence yet, as the victims’ statement phase of his trial is continuing. One girl, Emma Ann Miller, 15 at the time, said she was probably his last victim, because her last appointment with him was in 2016, right before he was fired. She noted Michigan State is still dunning her family for the unpaid “therapy” exams. Thanks, government billing people.
Sadly, and ironically, teachers and administrators and coaches don’t learn their lessons. It’s like State Penn, errr, Penn State never happened.
Kristine Moore is with MSU’s Office of General Counsel now. Eff up and move up?
Destiny Teachnor-Hauk took over lead trainer duties of the women’s gymnastic team from Nassar. According to the Michigan State athletics website, “Teachnor-Hauk has also served as an athletic trainer for the ESPN Summer Extreme Games and is the Michigan Athletic Trainers Society representative to the Great Lakes Athletic Trainers Association Women in Athletic Training Committee. Her family includes her husband Kalman, and sons Trey, Storm, Xtreme, Legend Pain, and daughter Spirit.”
That blurb stands alone without needing any commentary.
Expect ESPN to do business with an enabler of sexual exploitation.
Tom Izzo, the MSU basketball coach, and Mark Dantonio, the MSU football coach, have come out in support of MSU president Lou Anna Simon. So have most of the Michigan State Board of Trustees; they voted to support her and pay her damn near a million dollars a year even though she didn’t handle the Larry Nassar case worth a damn.
The case has cost $10 million to MSU, errr, the taxpayers so far.
Yesterday (1/22, the anniversary of the day a bunch of evil old men in kimonos allowed abortion on demand), most of USA Gymnastics’ leaders resigned from their partial-birth abortion of an association in disgrace. Earlier, leaders of the tainted group cut ties with Bela and Marta Karolyi, the great gymnastic coaches who came to America to train the girls. Why? Nassar molested girls at their training facility.
(Olga Korbut was a rape victim of Soviet coaches. She was so angry she refused to join the Communist Party, and was shunned by the Reds. Nadia Comaneci, one of Karolyi’s champions, was reportedly raped by the son of Romania’s dictator Nicolae Caesescu. Romanians overthrew the Red puppet and shot him and his wife to death on live TV on Christmas Day of 1989.)
About a month ago, Gretchen Whitmer, now a candidate for governor of Michigan, and a Democrat, grandstanded when she said MSU president Lou Anna Simon should resign. Ironically, the reporter who covered her grandstanding noted, “The allegations (against Nassar) were ultimately brought to the state Attorney General, rather than the local prosecutor’s office.” Gretchen had been the local prosecutor.
Gretchen Whitmer became Ingham County prosecutor in 2016 when Stuart Dunnings III left office. Why? He was using prostitutes and was otherwise criminally misusing his authority. Dunnings had to do some jail time in another county for his crimes.
Gretchen inherited the Nassar sex offenses cases. But she balked at wanting to prosecute him for the sex offenses, said Michigan State campus police chief Jim Dunlap. Dunlap said Gretchen told him she wanted to prosecute Nassar on the easier-to-prove child pornography case. Police had found a hard drive with child pornography on it in Nassar’s trash outside his residence in next-door Eaton County.
“She told us in a meeting that her decision was to move forward on the child sexually abusive material and not the criminal sexual assaults,” said Dunlap. “The big issue is we wanted to move forward on the (assault) cases and not settle for the (pornography) case.”
“It was pretty well established by our office at the front end that the priority was getting the criminal sexual assault (cases) charged so that everyone that came forward as a victim would have the ability to pursue their case,” Dunlap said. “It wasn’t going to happen if we only charged the (child pornography) case and sent him to prison for a brief period of time.”
Ms. Whitmer claims she would have prosecuted the sexual molestation cases, but Dunlap wouldn’t co-operate with her. Her assistant Lisa McCormick took her side, but then Lisa is also a lawyer and a subordinate. Why would she go against her boss?
Dunlap took both cases out of Gretchen’s hands for two very solid legal reasons, and an even better underlying reason.
Chief Dunlap turned evidence on the child pornography case over to the feds because federal sentencing for child pornography convictions is tougher than what Whitmer as a county prosecutor could get on Nassar in the Michigan state court system.
Dunlap turned over his cops’ sex offense investigation work to the state attorney general. The state attorney general, Bill Schuette, took jurisdiction of the sex offense case against Nassar because Nassar reportedly committed a few sex offenses at his home in Eaton County. Eaton County is next to Ingham County, where he did almost all of his molesting in Michigan. (This doesn’t count the molestations Nassar committed on US Olympic team female gymnasts in the US and around the globe.) It is customary in Michigan for the state attorney general to handle cases involving persons with offenses in multiple counties.
Police chiefs don’t make a habit of cutting off their county prosecutors. But MSU top cop Dunlap pushed Ms. Whitmer, a MSU grad, out of the way, probably because he didn’t trust her. In my opinion, he thought she would let Nassar walk on the sex offense charges, or offer him a plea deal with much less punishment than he deserved, or make some move that would be more self-serving than just. When there is an argument between a police chief or county sheriff and a county prosecutor, the safe money is to bet on the lawman. Why? He doesn’t have a license to lie.
Ironically, Schuette is seeking the GOP nomination for Michigan governor. He may or may not be qualified for the job. However, he will probably make a better governor than Gretchen Whitmer. In my opinion, Gretchen Whitmer is an attention whore.
And this just in:
In defending MSU president Lou Anna Simon, Joel Ferguson, a MSU official, yesterday dropped this verbal turd:
“This is not Penn State,” Ferguson said, referring to the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal that rocked the Happy Valley campus in 2011. “They were dealing with their football program. … They’re (NCAA) smart enough to know they’re not competent to walk in here on this.”
Jerry Sandusky used his penis to penetrate teenage boys. Larry Nassar used his fingers to penetrate and stroke many more girls. I’m guessing all the victims felt pretty low and abused. Ferguson should be forced to drink Flint water until his organs give out.
And all convicted child molesters should be burned at the stake. It might be cruel, but if done often enough, it wouldn’t be unusual anymore.
Most sex abuse victims live in fear, believing they will not be believed. One of Nassar’s victims’ own parents didn’t believe her, and made her recant when she was a young teen. When she left their home, she told them she really was a victim, and her father, overwhelmed by guilt and remorse, committed suicide.
Another girl, who told her mother, never lived to see justice done. Overwhelmed by being raped, she took her own life.
But when one victim has the courage to come forward, others will do so. In Nassar’s case, more than 150 girls and young women have come forward and testified against him. After Rachael Denhollander did so openly.
Nassar has pleaded guilty and has spent the past several days hearing them tell him in open court what an evil shit he is. Sentencing awaits; the judge is a woman who hasn’t been upset one iota by the coverage she (the judge) is getting.
Rachael Denhollander was not a big name gymnast. As Rachael Moxon, she was merely a high school girl who needed therapy for her sports injury. She was a home-school kid who was in a gymnastics club.
Rachael said Nassar inserted her fingers in her vagina and kept them there at least 20 minutes while she was standing with her back to her mother. She said he also inserted his fingers into her vagina while she was laying back up on a table and he was using his other hand and arm to massage her muscles. She said Nasser chatted with her mother while working on her.
Rachael said she got the same penetrative treatment several times, and her mother was present all those times. They talked about it and said it seemed bizarre, but others had told them penetration was an odd but legitimate form of therapy.
Rachael said she stopped having Nassar treat her back and hip pains when he unhooked her bra, massaged her breasts, and got an erection.
Rachael’s mother said she noticed it too, and felt like a moron for allowing Nassar to treat Rachael. She said Rachael told her she felt abused. She said Rachael became withdrawn, and in particular did not like people touching her.
Rachael eventually went to college and coached gymnastics. She said she advised another young woman gymnastics coach not to send her girls to Nassar because he was a molester. She said the other coach told her to keep quiet or her coaching career would end. The other young woman sent her girls to Nassar despite her warning. Rachael said she felt maybe she was the odd one. Maybe she felt she was too prudish if other female coaches okayed Nassar’s alleged therapeutic fingering.
Rachael said she contacted a number of medicos about pain relief and got literature from them that did not include having one’s vagina or rectum penetrated for pain relief or hip realignment. She said they were shocked when she told them the Spartan regimen Nassar gave her. But no one told her to contact the authorities.
Rachael said she still felt what Nassar did to her was wrong. When she saw the Indianapolis Star exposé, she said she contacted the reporter and explained what Nassar, who was not in the exposé, did to her.
Some reports say Rachael got a law degree. But she is not listed as a practicing attorney in Kentucky, where she lives now, or in Michigan, where she came from, according to the state bars of those two states. I looked using her maiden name and her married name. However, one can get a degree in law without being a practicing attorney. It is true she works as an official at Oak Brook College of Law in Louisville. So she is sharper than the average cookie and has more access to legal education and legal advice too.
Rachael said she came forward because as an adult it was her responsibility to protect girls.
This case features McKayla Maroney, Gabby Douglas, Simone Biles, and Aly Raisman, all gymnastics Olympic gold medalists who testified Nassar molested them. They all had the platform to nuke him and USA Gymnastics earlier, but did not do so. After all, despite their fame, they are still very young women. Being a great teenage athlete does not mean you are whole. Yet. Or sometimes ever, sadly.
It was Rachael Denhollander, the adult, who made it happen. The FBI never contacted her either. Ironically, Rachael Denhollander hasn’t gotten much media love or feminist love for forcing the investigation against Dr. Larry Nassar, the molester of more than 150 girls and young women.
Could it be they ignore her because Rachael was home-schooled, and her Facebook page reveals an Evangelical cast, and her support for pro-life issues?
Now let’s take this conversation in a different direction.
One couple whose girl was one of the victims revealed they had to report victimized children as a doctor (him) and as a nurse (her). This means they had a very high household income. Gymnastics coaching is not cheap.
These parents were spending big money on their girls’ dreams, the girls didn’t want to be kicked out of gymnastics, and the parents didn’t want their girls to be retaliated against in gymnastics circles.
So they all kept silent. (So did other gymnastics coaches, according to Rachael Denhollander.) The parents also overlooked another thing – the basic health of their girls.
A girl’s body is not meant to train for so long she suffers injuries. (Ditto for boys in their chosen sports.) Yet these maniacal coaches’ demands are damaging girls, and the parents go along with it.
And given an activity like gymnastics or skating, it’s an expensive venture. This means parents of above-average means and presumably above-average smarts are letting their children (or in some cases forcing them) pursue an activity that can hurt them. And if they can screw up like this, so can other parents, albeit at lower financial commitment levels.
Little League baseball, for example, is dropping in popularity while travel team ball is expanding. The kids play 100 games or more a year, under a lot of pressure. Traveling is like commuting to another part-time job for parents. This takes away time from parents and children, to include the kids in the families not in the traveling leagues. It costs a couple of thousand dollars a year per child. It leads to many injuries for kids, who are not meant to be throwing curve balls or throwing so often so young.
I’m not trying to criticize on you parents, but look at yourselves and look at your children. Are they in an activity that in your common sense you would question? Is it hurting their health? Is it taking away from other parts of their lives? Are you spending too much time chasing their dream (or your dream) and giving your other children short shrift?
Does the activity start to be a chore for your child? Does your child shy away from certain adults? Does his or her work at school suffer? Is he or she acting differently than what you’re used to, and in a negative sense of different?
And are the adults running things unduly harsh or strange?
And isn’t it odd when other adults say the harsh or strange behavior is okay? Or if they tell you to keep it quiet or you or your child may be in trouble?
I’m not saying lock your children in the house. I am saying use your common sense. I’m also saying don’t let the youth activity leaders and other nitwit parents and nitwit youth activity people try to con you out of doing what is right.
Many moons ago, I was a skinny little four-eyed kid. My Dad was big and tough, but I was little. I got inspiration not from a man as powerfully built as my father, but from a kid who had been little and four-eyed like me. Young Teddy Roosevelt, tired of being bullied, learned how to fight, and punished his tormenters even though they were bigger than him. It was his first act of courage in a lifetime full of acts of courage.
As a teenager, I started practicing a martial art – boxing. I also wrestled and trained in karate and military hand-to-hand combat in the Army and later. These turned me from a four-eyed 97-pound weakling into the aggressive ugly guy I became. Still four-eyed, but like Teddy Roosevelt, also cheerfully aggressive.
Teddy joked his aim wasn’t the best but he shot often enough to kill what needed killing. That’s me also. I wasn’t the best of shots as a soldier, so I carried more ammo, carried a sidearm and a hatchet along with my rifle, and I trained harder with the bayonet and the hatchet than my peers did.
Kids who are timid and weak will benefit from martial arts training if they have the right instructors. It gives them confidence in dealing with bullies and it will help them think and act if confronted by someone who wants to snatch them. Use your common sense as a parent. Screen instructors not only for their criminal records, but also to make sure his or her teaching personality will help your child. Most children, especially timid ones, need encouragement, not amateur drill sergeant yelling, when they are trying to learn how to defend themselves.
Some female martial artists do well with children because they can reach them when men can’t do so. Women are usually kinder and more patient with children than men are. They are not as big as men, so they are less intimidating. These gentle-looking females still know techniques and can pack a wallop. My boxing coaches, my wrestling coaches, and my self-defense coaches were tough ornery men who did pat you on the back every now and then. Both of my karate senseis were women, and they were patient with my lack of style. They were also good at what they did.
Let your child build basic skills and confidence with an instructor he or she feels comfortable with, then put him or her with a tougher instructor when he or she is mentally and physically ready to handle it.
If you are not into martial arts yourself, it can’t hurt to get into one. And mix fighting techniques into your play with your children. They will learn it as fun instead of some boring drill. A small girl or a small boy is perfectly capable of disabling a strong man with a good swift kick to his package … or even to his shins.
Let your children know they are not supposed to be molested. Explain this in terms they will understand. Let them know you will protect them and they can count on you.
What are the lessons of the Michigan State Molester case?
For Larry Nassar, prison is going to be a Spartan experience. Hopefully others from the MSU Spartans hierarchy will join him behind bars. Misery loves company.
Government billers will charge you, even for being raped by a government employee.
Candidates for higher office, especially Democrats, will grandstand without shame, even when they were too cowardly or incompetent to handle a problem when they had a chance to do so earlier.
Although President Trump has outed many GOP hypocrites since he threw his hat in the ring in 2015.
School personnel lie to protect their own. They really don’t care about your children’s welfare.
You must be your children’s protectors and first responders.
As St. Francis de Sales would say, “Pray as if it all depends upon God. Work as if it all depends upon you.”
