On page 53 of the Freeh Report we find the following statement...

"The Special Investigative Counsel requested an interview with Paterno in December 2011. Through his counsel, Paterno expressed interest in participating but died before he could be interviewed."

At his subsequent press conference, Freeh said, "We don't have the benefit of having spoken to Mr. Paterno, as I believe he intended to do..."

But in a statement this morning, Freeh made the following claim...

"During the investigation, we contacted Mr. Paterno's attorney in an attempt to interview Mr. Paterno. Although Mr. Paterno was willing to speak with a news reporter and his biographer at that time, he elected not to speak with us."

Was Freeh lying last July when he said Joe was willing to speak with Freeh's investigators or is he lying now in claiming that Joe chose to not speak with them?

If Louis Freeh is willing to lie about something as basic as whether or not someone agreed to be interviewed, what else did he lie about in the "independent" Freeh Report? Kindle Fire HD 7", Dolby Audio, Dual-Band Wi-Fi, 16 GB - Includes Special Offers Original content Penn State Clips
