JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- The Missouri Republican Party yesterday called on Jay Nixon to launch an investigation into whether the Secretary of State's Office has been using taxpayer dollars to conduct partisan political activities in violation of Missouri law.
Through a Sunshine Law request, the Republican Party obtained emails through the Sunshine Law that show Carnahan's office lied about its role in writing a letter on behalf of former President Jimmy Carter attacking a voter identification bill designed to prevent fraud. The emails also showed that political operative Roy Temple was manipulating policy for Carnahan's office and that his wife, Carnahan spokesman Stacie Temple, was giving political advice to U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan on state time using a state computer.
Copies of the emails are available at http://www.mogop.org/media/carnahanlie.pdf
"The use of an official state office for political purposes is a clear violation of Missouri law and we are requesting on behalf of Missouri taxpayers that Jay Nixon perform his duties as Attorney General by investigating Robin Carnahan's office," said Paul Sloca, communications director for the Missouri Republican Party. "If Jay Nixon decides to ignore his duty as attorney general to shield the unethical behavior of his Democrat colleague, he will have to answer to the people of Missouri."
Dems don't do thorough investigations of other Dems. It's as simple as that. Never happen. And the MSM will not criticize the Dem for not doing his job. End of story.
