We’ve been tracking three sheriff’s candidates for a key county in SE Michigan. All of them have stated that regardless of which of them wins, they would all support one another to clean up our crime and strengthen election integrity (if somehow we actually found a prosecutor that would prosecute something like this!). Sounds good, until you dig into backgrounds and realize all of them have very good chances of being corrupt based on what they’ve done and what agencies they’ve interacted with.
We had another law enforcement person (related to DEA?) /rocket scientist address a local precinct delegate group a few weeks back about how he’s helped to stem all the drugs coming out of Central & South America. When asked if he felt he knew if the money trail led to any 3 letter agencies, he did anything but come close to answering the question...
Corrupt sheriffs are a huge problem. And eunuch prosecutors no good either. We had a very good county prosecutor years ago; have no clue about the current one. Same with Sheriff, great guy, I conversed with him many times. The local bigwigs (biggest fish in a very small pond) didn’t like him and poisoned the voter with lies in the newspapers so the other guy won.
Oh well.
