In fact, she slipped up and wrote that she hadn't seen it in March 2012.<br /><br />I agree the "trap" story was contrived -- just like the Rudy story.<br /><br />Eshbach and Fina knew who the leakers were -- obviously.<br /><br />Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-12390463811683770492017-04-08T19:20:45.665-04:002017-04-08T19:20:45.665-04:00Ray -

If they wanted to find the leak they should have questioned everyone who could have known including the grand jury witnesses. While the grand jury witnesses could have leaked quite legally, lying about it to OAG investigators would be obstruction of justice. <br /><br />I still don't think Ganim really needed an inside source. There were plenty of people at victim 1's high school who knew details of his allegations. Victim's 1's mother also probably told people as she seemed eager for publicity. Eshbach should have been questioned about what she told victim 1 and his mother about the progress of the case. She might have given them too many details, which would have made her the leaker.<br /><br />The location of the grand jury is not secret. If Ganim had someone keeping an eye on the comings and goings there, they could have spotted Paterno, Curley and Schultz going in to testify. Ganim may have also gotten the 1998 police report legally through other channels.

It would also be perjury if they lied about the leaking under oath. <br /><br />AG Kane was convicted of doing both those things.<br /><br />I think the OAG is extremely unethical by convicting defendants in the court of public opinion before they ever get to trial. <br /><br />I don't even see how it would be legal for Eshbach to warn McQueary that Sandusky, Curley and Schultz were soon going to be arrested. If McQueary told others, as he did, that could get back to them, and they could flee the country. Or maybe that was one reason for the leak - to encourage them to flee. <br />Tim Bertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534135581401662154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-86524135607115175532017-04-07T00:51:14.581-04:002017-04-07T00:51:14.581-04:00But Feudale ordered an investigation of the leaks,...But Feudale ordered an investigation of the leaks, which ran to ground just like Abraham's investigation of Second Mile and Fina's porn ring. Of course Fina was never held accountable.
