cliff notes version:

Fletcher is R, AG is D. Someone, I forget who gets fired from his position and files a complaint saying it was because he was a Democrat. AG investigates and then starts Grand Jury because he thinks it's bigger than one guy. Gov Fletcher pardons anyone the GJ my indict (except himself). This doesn't stop AG from indicting people though (even though they were already pardoned).

The "merit" thing is like the civil servant positions with the feds that can't be fired with the changing of partisans (like Mary McCarthy). The conspiracy is that Gov Fletcher was working to get Republicans hired/Dems fired. And to top it off, he/they were sloppy about it leaving email trails.

I don't disagree with what he did. Hell if I was a politician I'd fire every Democrat that looked at me cross-eyed, but in KY I suppose it's against the law (probably because some Dem already tried it before. LOL)

Thanks for that. I really had no idea what was going on. I agree with your sentiments. I wish they had not left a paper trail...that is not good. I see no problem with replacing people who are actively working against you.

Keep us posted. Thanks.

Actually people in the intel agencies such as Ms. Mc Carthy have no civil service protections, right along with feds who are law enforcement, attorneys, and (curiously) educational faculty (such as the civilians who teach at the national military academies).
