Former University of Massachusetts Amherst Chemist Sharon Salem Interview

Episode 6 of the Rigged Podcast has Jamie, Ilyas and Chris Post again listening to previously unknown interview with UMass Amherst chemist Sharon Salem. According to official FOIA responses from the Massachusetts Attorney General's office, this interview does not exist. Yet somehow, the Rigged Podcast was able to obtain this damning look into the "scientific" practices of the now shuttered drug testing lab from Salem, a chemist and evidence officer for the lab for nearly 30 years.Back in 2015 the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office conducted a secret investigation into the the policies and processes of the UMass Amherst Drug Lab. This exclusive interview with Sharon Salem has never been heard by the public before and resulted in at least one long time Department of Public Health employee being forced into "retirement". This interview could have far reaching implications for all the testing performed at this, and other, drug testing labs in the state.
