its outrageous that taxpayers money are used to defend against criminals. They should use their own money

Too bad the state is responsible for its employees. In fact the state should be prosecuting them. In fact Joe should be if not already suing the state. I know I would.

[Stand Watch Listen]

I quite agree. As the article sets forth

" For those to come into play, a determination must be made that the employee was acting “manifestly outside the scope of his official employment or official responsibilities, with malicious purpose, in bad faith or in a wanton or reckless manner.”

Surely these 'civil servants' acted maliciously and ouside the scope of their official duties.

Yep, outrageous and I love it. To heck and worse with that Zero voting state.

>> Cordray, a Democrat, said last week that he is following state law that “says in effect if you’re a state employee and you’re sued for work done in the course ... of your employment, you’re entitled to a defense by the state attorney general’s office.” <<

Since when is it in the course of their employment to use state databases to dig up mud in political campaigns? The fact that they were using their status as state employees to help them commit their crimes only means the state should be seeking criminal penalties, too, not helping them out. But apparently Cordray is a criminal, too.

its outrageous that taxpayers money are used to defend against criminals.

The United States Department of Justice was used to defend the usurper in the most recent lawsuit to be dismissed against him. Why? Those suits were on the books before the coronation. Why am I now forced to pay for him thumbing his nose at the Constitution and the citizens of the USA?

Good luck Joe! Don't back down -- fight the commie b-turds!
