I didn't know this. I knew that Spanier was investigated by federal security clearance folks re: Sandusky and cleared but I didn't know that they also spoke to Curley and Schultz.
Spanier asked freeh (when he finally got around to intereviewing him) to hold off on publishing his report until the fed security clearance investigation results came back. Freeh did not wait and instead published his report 4 days after Spanier's interview....smh
From page 75 of the Spanier defamation filing:
"The thoroughly researched analysis conducted in the federal security clearance report, when later made available to Dr. Spanier, indeed included statements by Schultz, Curley, members of the University administration and trustees, former Penn State General Counsel Cynthia Baldwin, and many other witnesses with information relevant to Freeh's investigation.
The inclusion of statements by Schultz and Curley in the federal security clearance report is especially significant because, as Freeh certainly knew when he issued his Report, Schultz and Curley were among the individuals who Freeh did not interview. Had Freeh waited for the federal report to be issued before finalizing or issuing his Report - as Dr. Spanier specifically requested - Freeh would have had this crucial information."
