In Arbp Vigano's bombshell memo released on Saturday night, he cited a French monsignor who worked at the Nunciature in Washington who related to him an explosive conversation he had witnessed between then-Nuncio Pietro Sambi and Cardinal McCarrick in which Nuncio Sambi's raised voice could be heard down the hall. Shortly afterwards, Nuncio Sambi died unexpectedly, the second US Nuncio in succession to die a premature death.
Catholic News Agency contacted Msgr. Jean François Lantheaume to verify if Vigano's statement was correct, and Lantheaume asserted emphatically that it was. Now there is a conversation on Msgr. Lantheaume's Facebook page which gives even more astonishing details:
The Facebook conversation was translated by Hilary White on her blog, What's Up With Francis-Church:

All says the whole truth. I am a witness. The nuncio Vigano is the most honest Prelate that I know in the Vatican

You’re not reassuring us dear Father !
Jean François Lantheaume
My goal is not to reassure you, but to tell the truth ! Bishops are neither unscathed nor untouchable: they are all just as much sinners as are others !!! let it be said once and for all… they do not enjoy papal infallibility…! But of course as soon as one tries to tell the truth, you have your head cut off, or you “have a bad spirit”…. it’s been over twenty years since I said what I had to say…. now believe what you want, but I can tell you as being the direct witness that Vigano is telling the truth:** I was the direct witness ! these may be the last lines I write… if I am found chopped up by a chainsaw and my body sunk in concrete, the police and the hacks will say that we have to consider the hypothesis of suicide **!!!
Amazing forthrightness which indicates the gravity of what is being covered up.
Now it's being reported that the courageous Arbp. Vigano is being forced to flee Italy for his life.

UPVoat! Thank You Gilderoy for posting this Verification of Vigano! I am heartened to hear that there is another High Level of the RCC that is courageous enough to put his life on the line and Stand Up for Vigano and the Victims. I am going to forward this post and link to Our Victim/Survivor @StcharlesSeminary so she can follow this News. I will pray for their safety. I am worried for both the Arbp. and Msgr. Please Everyone, Prayers.

Archbishop Chaput (of Philadelphia) supported Vigano, as well as Cardinal Burke, and some other bishops in the U.S. It's a train wreck for FrancisChurch, and we know it's just the tip of the iceberg. I don't believe there would be such a panicked reaction on the part of Cardinal Wuerl's press secretary yesterday (she literally ran away from a reporter) and the pope's tight-lipped response to reporters on the plane home from Dublin if this were just about some seminarians being abused by McCarrick As egregious and horrible as that is, it's possible for the Church to worm itself out of that because the seminarians were adults.
I believe, as you do, that far worse crimes are waiting to be exposed.
