In a detailed rebuke of the news media, former FBI Director Louis Freeh said his exhaustive investigation of Papa John’s founder John Schnatter found no evidence of racial animus, citing corporate transcripts that directly contradict news reports suggesting the pizza executive had criticized NFL players for kneeling during the national anthem.
“A thorough examination … found that the public comments by Mr. Schnatter were neither intended nor can reasonably be interpreted to reflect any racial bias, prejudice, or disrespect for African Americans or people of color,” Freeh wrote in a report slated to be made public Tuesday.
“Any attempt by some media to characterize Mr. Schnatter’s statements as attacking NFL players or the basis for their protest was factually incorrect, and in effect an editorial comment by the reporting facility,” he added.

This was years ago, damage has been done and he had to leave the company he founded over it. This marks the usefulness of our DOJ and FBI. Why even bring up the subject at this point except to advertise your total ineptness? I guess you’ll be finding Hillary Clinton guilty in 2035? The trial will last 3 years and she’ll die of old age.
I would sue for libel to cover any future possible income lost from each MSM “news” outlet
