His abuse. >> i ask you to please do all that is in your power to ensure these individuals are held responsible and accountable for my initial report, for lying about my initial report, and for covering up for a child molester. >> this conduct by these fbi agents, including the special agent in charge who are held in high regard and expected to protect the public is unacceptable, disgusting, and shameful. >> if we don't do all we can to get these facts, the problems we are here to address will persist. and we are deluding ourselves if we think other children can be spared the institutionalized...

She said herself were not her wishes. she asked for an fbi investigation. she asked for more witnesses. she wasn't given what she asked for and still came here and sat before this committee. what did she say, sir? when someone has the courage to speak to one of the most powerful bodies in the land, what did she say? she shared a raw and visceral, incredible, a profoundly powerful testimony with this committee and the world and she was believable. i believe her. she told us of her indelible memory, using words like seared into her memory. speaking to brain chemistry in a way -- she spoke of upr...
