Phill's got $25 grand to fund his investigation. He has enough enemies on the county board so that it is a real possibility that they won't fund anything after that. Phill has to come up with evidence of criminal activity - Morrison soliciting information on ongoing investigations, something like that - or Morrison may well skate on this. On the "he's been punished enough" theory.
I believe that many have been advised that this is all going to come out due to "other" suits and investigations and that they'd better NOT be seen as "obstructionists" attempting to shield Morrison on this one.
Gov. Sebelius quickly attempted to shield herself and her administration as well as Lt. Gov (former RINO Mark Parkinson, turned dim)from Morrison.
He's a real hot potato, like someone with small pox and all want to shield themselves as far from him as possible, lest they be brought down with him (many might be anyway as this runs far and deep.)
