Thanks, this is a well sourced article and in addition to listing several law enforcement cases, it includes one more indicator of ignorance (in purpose) towards solving serious crimes:
Initially, the FBI and DEA refused to provide the OIG with unredacted information that was responsive to our requests… despite the fact that the OIG is authorized under the Inspector General Act to receive such information. After months of protracted discussions with management at both agencies, the DEA and FBI provided the information without extensive redactions; but we found that the information was still incomplete.
My impression is that this article should be flaired as "important". ping @Vindicator
Thanks for the ping anonOpenPress. I agree. I'm going to give this a "New Evidence" flair, though, because of the attempt of the FBI and DEA to prevent investigation by the OIG. This needs to be investigated further. The OIG needs to be empowered.
Also, the fact that the federal government does not track child rape by federal employees needs to be trumpeted far and wide.
There was also some good advice at the end:
What Can You Do?
Do you want federal law enforcement officers in your town masturbating to the rape and torture of children, too often from Russian websites controlled by organized crime? Are you comfortable knowing your tax dollars are helping to fund this serious criminal behavior because too many federal law enforcement are trading in child rape while on duty?
Demand action. Request a meeting with your senators and representatives. Print out this article. Bring it to the meeting and ask for legislation that would require all federal law enforcement under go random electronic searches of their work and home electronics, including cell phones, as part of their hiring agreement; just like random drug testing. Tell Congress to hold federal law enforcement accountable. Ask Congress to demand routine monitoring and oversight for all federal law enforcement and public data on misconduct.
It's the right decision because this provides proof that there is a rift that is dividing the FBI from the inside, kind of like that fbi anon character mentioned. These are just the people that got caught, imagine how many more in varying levels of position are behind the scenes right now?

Maybe we should define "evidence" ;) Well, this article can be seen as an indicator of evidence anyway.

Well, it's certainly full of evidence that government figures are raping kids, as these scum were all convicted.
But, I also think it offers evidence of a coverup. Hopefully, people will dig further.
