It is about time as it is becoming more and more obvious that the State of Pennsylvania is unable to take care of this without bias. This case is to deep and involves to many people in high ranks to not get the Feds involved.

Well, that will certainly speed things up.

The feds are probably also involved because Sandusky took kids with him on trips outside of the state.

Which makes me wonder why in the heck it took so long for them to get involved.

Because they're part of one of the most inefficient run organizations in the world, The US federal government.

Federal authorities have been involved in this matter for quite sometime. It takes time to get material for the subpoenas. An investigation has to be done in order to determine what documents should be requested.

While subpoenas are general in nature, the opposing party does need to be informed of what type of documents are being requested, time frame, subject matter, etc.

Investigations can go on for many months or even years before subpoenas are requested. This is done for many reasons. One of them is that the investigation becomes public with the subpoena request.

In other words, just because you learned of the investigations yesterday, doesn't mean that Federal authorities waited to begin the investigations.
