Just a quick update: apparently Dr. Nassar was found guilty of sexual assault of minors and sentenced to
175 years in prison. My, how times have changed! Let's recall an incident from waaaay back in 2016 involving a white Republican Christian instead of a brown(ish) science-worshipping Muslim:

Quote:
Federal prosecutors made allegations of sexual misconduct against Dennis Hastert saying that he had molested at least four boys as young as 14 while he worked as a high school wrestling coach.
...
Addressing the court, Hastert read from a written statement, apologizing for having "mistreated athletes." After being pressed by the judge, Hastert admitted to sexually abusing boys whom he coached, saying that he had molested "Individual B" and did not remember some of the others. Hastert said he did not remember abusing Cross, "but I accept his statement." Hastert stated "what I did was wrong and I regret it ... I took advantage of them." Hastert also acknowledged that he had misled the FBI.
The judge in the case referred to Hastert as a "serial child molester" and imposed a sentence of fifteen months in prison. He was released after 13 months in prison.
...
Sixty letters asking for leniency for Hastert were submitted to the court ahead of sentencing, but nineteen of these letters were withdrawn after Judge Durkin said that he would not consider any letters that were not made public. Of the forty-one letters that were made public, several were from current or former members of Congress: John T. Doolittle, David Dreier, Thomas W. Ewing, and Porter Goss.

Praise the Lord for the power of letters of leniency. And praise the Lord for being
fortunate enough in real estate so you pay $3.5m in hush money after a career as a high-school wrestling coach and member of congress.
Let's all petition our members of Congress to write letters for Dr. Nassar.
