"I was molested hundreds of times in my bed, including the night before competing in the Olympic Games." McKayla Maroney was 13 when the team doctor started. In 2015 she sat on her bedroom floor for nearly three hours and told the FBI everything, including Tokyo, where he gave her a sleeping pill on the plane when she was 15. It should have been over right there. Instead the agent went silent, then asked, "Is that all?" In the video below, she tells the Senate about that call. "I began crying at the memory over the phone, and there was just dead silence." "Is that all?" "My abuse was enough, and they wanted to cover it up." It got worse. The FBI didn't write up her interview for 17 months. When it finally did, the Justice Department's watchdog found the report "materially false." It put words in her mouth. While it sat in a drawer, the doctor, Larry Nassar, abused at least 70 more girls. The head of that FBI office was talking to USA Gymnastics about a job with the Olympic Committee at the same time. She settled with USA Gymnastics for $1.25 million. The deal reportedly carried a $100,000 penalty if she talked. The agent was fired. His boss retired. The Justice Department reviewed it twice and charged no one. The government paid the victims $138.7 million instead. Were those agents covering for a predator, or just bad at their jobs?
