A compromised individual is given a key position and then that person quashes investigations and revelations that naturally arise from systemic abuse against the public.
The text below is continued from here.
Robert Wadman has been accused of abusing children and of covering up this abuse.
Robert Wadman has sworn under oath that he barely knew Larry King, that he "had very few social contacts with Larry King." That's not what King says.
In April 22, 1989 interviews with King and Wadman, Frank Brown of TV-7, Omaha, questioned them about an incident in which Wadman intervened at King's request, to order the release of a suitcase seized in a drug raid.
BROWN: King acknowledges he is a friend of Chief Wadman's. We asked King did he call the chief to get a suitcase released that had been seized in a drug investigation?
BROWN: You had that friendship where, you could.... KING: Yes.
BROWN: You could call the Chief of Police and get a piece of evidence released?
KING: I felt that I could call anyone in this city. BROWN: What was that suitcase? I've always wondered what was in that suitcase and what was it about?
KING: Um, it's really nothing. It was a relative of mine and he was staying at a hotel, and I guess they had a drug bust or something...
BROWN: We asked Chief Robert Wadman if Larry King had ever telephoned him to get a suitcase released from police custody.
WADMAN: Yes... I can't recall if it was this past year or the year before that he did call regarding a situation and that information was forwarded to the unit responsible for the request....
BROWN: That did not compromise any investigation? WADMAN: Absolutely not. And I'm very disappointed that this situation continues to be protractive but it was a situation that was routinely handled. I receive literally hundreds of those requests and this situation was handled exactly the same way as the rest. Switching back to Larry King, Brown raised another question about a smooth ride he seemed to have gotten from the OPD [Omaha Police Department]
BROWN: The Omaha Police had an investigation last summer into an alleged pornographi...
KING: Uh, huh.
BROWN: And you were cleared?
KING: I didn't even know that they had one last summer.... People make up these things. People make up anything, you can hear anything about anyone. If you choose to believe it you will, if you choose not to, you don't. I choose not to listen to garbage and gossip. King had indeed been cleared, with the blessing of Robert Wadman. The legislative Franklin committee's record of Wadman's own testimony to this effect dates from October 13, 1989. Besides Wadman, the speakers in this transcript are committee counsel John Stevens Berry and Robert Creager, and Wadman's attorney, Kent Whinnery. BERRY: Are you aware whether or not there have been any ongoing investigations in Omaha regarding whether or not Mr. King has been involved with narcotics?...
WHINNERY: May I just ask a point of clarification? Are you talking about ongoing but not concluded or-
BERRY: Well, I suppose I could ask a series of questions. Have there been in the past? Have there been any continuing? Have there been any ongoing at all? Do you know anything about Mr. King or has Mr. King been a subject of a narcotics investigation? That's an area I want the Chief to address, and I'm happy to have him address it.
WADMAN: I'm unaware of any of those.
CREAGER: The answer is no?
WADMAN: The answer is no, yeah.
BERRY: Let me ask the very same broad question about Mr. King and the relationship to child pornography or pornography of any kind.
WADMAN: We had a situation where we were advised that there was a possibility of child pornography involving-no, it came in as a child pornography case. What happened is that there was a photographer who was taking photographs of young women, and in the course of that set of circumstances, a mother with her daughter called and filed a complaint with the police department, and the complaint involved a situation where her daughter was approached by the photographer to be photographed, and the photographer extended an invitation to this young woman's mother to come with her.
