Yep, this story got swept under the rug.
That kind of thing is standard practice now. You just ignore it and let the story run a few days, and then the news channels will move on to the next thing to get ratings.
Look at 2013: Benghazi, the IRS, the NSA...all those stories were forgotten about once the Zimmerman trial started.
The govt. can pretty much do any goddamn thing with no fear.
