The worst email, IMO, is the one from Feathers (AG office) to the Freeh Group a whole month before Freeh's report was complete and published. It discusses more charges possibly for Spanier, Schultz and Curley. Why would he send them such an email? Red flags everywhere, IMO.

Agreed here. That email is horrible. The AG then did not allow Freeh to work "independently". It violated the assumption in parenthesis above. Further supporting that Freeh did a horrible job and was not impartial.
But still once Freeh was done with the report, the prosecutor doesn't need to work independently. The independent criteria only goes one direction, not reciprocal.

Dude you're killing me. I don't believe you don't have 10 bucks a month extra. This seems to be worth AT LEAST 10 bucks a month to you to avoid this aspect of the board you find so annoying.

John Ziegler ‏@Zigmanfreud
Regarding the emails released showing L. Freeh's team congratulating Sandusky prosecutors, wouldn't Freeh look at those & assume conspiracy?

I see that Lubrano is calling for Louis Freeh and Dick Thornburgh to attend the May BoT meeting. Zero percent chance Freeh shows up. Thornburgh? IMO Maybe..

How many service providers do you know who got paid $6.5 million by their client yet refused to meet them for a follow up?

The check cleared and he sold the business. He doesn't care anymore. It's not like PSU bot will be repeat business.

That and he doesn't want to risk his credibility in this case being hurt any more by Dick Thornburgh.

After reading the above thread I find it interesting that Costas says in there ". With the benefit of time he has changed his opinion of the Freed report. Where is that any different than what Joe said, in hindsight wish I would have done more.

Just proof that the media didn't even bother reading the Freeh Report. Some intern read the summary, passed it on as fact, the talking heads rolled with it. Unbelievable.
