Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann is expected to announce his resignation later today, The Plain Dealer has learned. He planned to break the news to his senior staff this afternoon.

The decision came as Dann faced intense pressure both from fellow Democrats and Republican critics who said he was not fit to continue as the state’s top lawyer.

It also followed action targeting Dann in the Ohio General Assembly today by lawmakers from both parties. House Democrats this morning filed articles of impeachment against Dann, accusing him of misconduct and malfeasance in office. And House Republicans began plans to fast-track a bill that would allow the state Inspector General’s office to conduct an independent investigation into Dann’s office.

"The attorney general has said that he does not believe there are grounds for impeachment, and he will continue to do the job that he was elected to do," his spokesman Jason Stanford said in a news release.

Doesn't matter what he believes. If enough legislators believe there are grounds for impeachment, he's done. He has to be smart enough to realize that it's not going to blow over. Resign and be done with it.

Ohio Dems are in full Dann-age Control mode.

Now if only we could get the congressional republicans to go into "Dann-age control" whenever some toe-tapping perv or just plain crook rears their head in the GOP caucus. Last I checked Larry Craig and Ted Stevens were still out there tarnishing the GOP name.

We've already seen evidence of not only moral bankruptcy, but criminal acts by his cronies that he appointed.

It sounds like things are well out of control in the AG office and that an investigation would turn up more scandal and more criminal acts.

The Dems gained a lot of offices because of what appeared to be minor corruption and major idiocy by Taft, as well as corruption by a major supporter of Republicans.

The Dems do not want Marc Dann's scandals lingering in the press through the election cycle. You can't have much credibility on corruption with an AG that is that obviously corrupt and incompetent.

They want him gone ASAP, and they want credit for policing their own while heading into the election cycle.

Ohio Dems are stuck in Eternal Dannation.

If only Republicans had done this with Bob Taft...
