Joe Paterno was intimately involved in FBI investigations into a series of threatening letters sent to the late Penn State football coach and his staff in the late 1970s and early 1980s, according to his FBI file obtained by The Washington Times.

The fileâ??s 868 pages donâ??t mention Jerry Sandusky or the former longtime assistant coachâ??s child sexual abuse scandal that led to him being found guilty on 45 of 48 counts of child sexual abuse earlier this year.
