Article here. Excerpt:

'A former White House college sexual assault task force member appears to have been gunning for a University of Virginia fraternity smeared in a Rolling Stone article about a now-debunked campus gang rape, newly released emails show.

“I want to see these guys gone and I want to keep it as legally sound as possible,” UVA alum Emily Renda wrote to Rolling Stone reporter Sabrina Rubin Erdely in July 2014, several months before the Rolling Stone article “A Rape on Campus” was published.

At the time, Renda was working in a gender-based violence prevention program at the school. That spring she had served on the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault.

Renda appeared concerned that publishing the name of the fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, would “create a credibility issue” and hurt the effort to have it removed.'

Based on rumors and prejudicial stereotypes, a gov't employee (official?) was involved in perpetuating a public fraud knowingly before the story creating the fraud itself was published.

I wonder how far up the nutty story, or, conspiracy, goes? And what precisely is the motivation to go after this particular fraternity at that particular college at that particular time?

More here than meets the eye, methinks... much more.
