This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

What we know: USAG had 0 in-house attorneys, by 1NDGal
Jack was "General Counsel" (outside-inside, at Baker Daniels) starting appx. 1993 and through his acceptance of the ND job in August 2008. Jack was heavily involved in USAG starting appx. 1990, and chaired the World Championships in 1990.
Fmr. Pres. USAG Steve Penny has stated that during his time as Pres. (2005-2017) "the lawyers" handled the policies about dealing with complaints of abuse.
Nassar started with USAG in 1986. He was indicted for assault that began in 1998.
BOTTOM LINE: Either Swarbrick approved the policy of sticking abuse compliants in a drawer or he was grossly negligent as GC and fleeced USAG of decades' worth of fees.
