Conservative, let me address your comment point by point.

You said: "Are there official documents verifying this FBI investigation from the FBI themselves?"

First, there is an address available for the FBI agents who are working on this case. You can always write them directly and ask if this investigation is indeed taking place.

Second, a San Diego TV station reported on the investigation after they themselves contacted the FBI about it. The aired clip can be viewed here: http://media.xfamily.org/tv/Local8_040405.wmv

You asked, "Where is the proof?"

I used to be like you, Conservative. I used to demand proof but was unwilling to do my own research. I eventually learned to recognize that I did this out of fear of being proven wrong. I trust you are more mature than I was back then.

You said, "Sorry to question these things, but you have to understand, we came out of a group , a society that abhors questioning leadership, says it is doubting, so we got used to just accepting everything without question."

Please take into consideration that the LaMattery's also left the exact same environment you describe. It would be futile for them to take on such a task as they have, if indeed they were in it for the wrong motives. They would never gain the trust of most of the ex-SGAs.

You said, "I want to see the actual legal documents to prove this is a legal, authorized , official move by the law enforcement agency called the Federal Bureau of Investigation signed by the agent in charge. Can you produce such a document?

Something tells me that even if such a document was posted, that unless you touched the paper, smelled the ink, rubbed your hands over the embossed FBI seal and interrogated the post man who picked up the letter from the FBI office, you wouldn't believe it.

If this is the case, it is essential that you do your own research before making such broad statements as you have.
