"Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett blew up at a reporter who questioned his handling of the criminal probe into former Penn State football assistant Jerry Sandusky as an investigation revealed Thursday that top officials at the university had “total and consistent disregard” for Sandusky’s victims."

"Corbett, who launched the criminal investigation into Sandusky when he was the Keystone State’s attorney general, has faced criticism for the investigation’s length — it was three years before an indictment was handed down — and because his administration approved a $3 million grant to Second Mile, the charity Sandusky ran and used as a way to recruit victims. Sandusky was no longer running the organization at the time."

"A reporter asked the governor on Thursday if the investigation, which was commissioned by Penn State’s Board of Trustees and written by a team led by former FBI director Louis Freeh, made him wish he had handled any element of the case differently, it drew an angry rebuke."

“Why are you all obsessed with that?” he said of criticism about the length of the criminal probe. “It’s been answered over and over and over again … 45 of 48 counts. We do not hold up investigations for anything."
