hopefully the wars will come to an end and we won t be doing anything as dramatic as this. you know, we ve become real attached to the fact that military personnel love their animals and we want to do everything we can to keep them together. sounds great. it s a noble thing to do, right? if, in fact, that is what terry crisp is doing. instead, keeping them honest tonight, cnn s drew griffin has discovered only a slim fraction of the $26 million that woman raised could even possibly have gone towards rescuing dogs. the charity watchdog group has slim doubts how that slim fraction was spent. as they put it, the numbers don t seem to add up. the appeal though, reuniting dogs and troops, is powerful. just as it was 6 1/2 years ago during hurricane katrina when crisp was running an organization and the appeal was reuniting pets and survivors. terry crisp joins me. she is in sacramento, california. good to see you. good to see you, anderson, too. this is tabasco. he was one o
e-mail to shultz 5/13/98. what does it say? anything new in this department? meaning the investigation. coach is anxious to know where it stands. connect those two dots, buzz bissinger. michael, as you know, i ve been writing about this in the daily beast. i ve been saying this for over a year. joe paterno knew everything that went on involving football. but now we know, we don t have to speculate. we don t have to rant. he knew about the 1998 incident, the first alleged incident involving jerry sandusky. he knew about the 2001 incident involving coach paterno way beyond mcqueary. he got involved in it. he has no legacy. it was clear that paterno wanted to keep this in house. and they tried and the president tried and the vice president tried and the athletic director tried. they didn t want to do damage to the football program and
ed here. our administration also failed. the report concludes that at the moment of truth people who are in a position to protect children and to confront a period tore including at highest levels of responsibility in the university, specifically, joe paterno and curly and gary shultz, did not put the welfare children first. also, and importantly, we should know that our hearts remain heavy and we are deeply ashameed over the last 14 years, it appears from the report that there have been three didn t phases of the board s involvement: the board was
paterno was made aware of the 199 8 investigation of sandusky, followed it closely, but failed to take any action, even though sandusky had been a key member of his coaching staff for about 30 years and had an office just steps away from mr. paterno. at the very least, mr. paterno could have alerted the entire football staff in order to prevent sandusky from bringing another child into the building. mr. spannier, shultz, paterno and curley also failed to alert the board of trustees about the investigation or take any other action against mr. sandusky. none of them ever spoke to sandusky about his conduct. in short, nothing was done and sandusky was allowed to continue with impunity. i want to bring in, if i can,
joe paterno did not cover up for jerry sandusky. to claim otherwise is a distortion of the truth. that coming from the family before this report and this statement was released today. but we also look at some of the details alongside what we expect to hear today. i want to read this. it says in the statement coming from the director. the total disregard for the safety and welfare of sandusky s child victims by the seeb senior leaders at penn state, the most powerful men failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who sandusky victimized. spannier, shultz, paterno, and curley never demonstrated any concern for the safety and well-being of sandusky s victims until after sandusky s arrest. you have had time to look through the transcript. that s just a taste of some of
