SD: "...vitriolic statements made night and day on radio and TV..."
MK: "Whether there is anything you have uncovered in your investigation, so far, that suggests that the suspected killer was listening to radio or watching television and in any way inspired by what he heard or saw?"
SD: "Well, I know that there has been some contact with Gabrielle Giffords {and Jared Loughner} in the past. We have... a letter from her dated in 2007 were... she had agreed & invited him to a similar event in 2007."
"When millions of dollars are filtered into this country to buy very vitriolic ads, and they don't have to be identified, the countries they are coming from or the people who are donating them, I think it's time that we take a look at it."
"We see one party trying to block the attempts of another party to make this a better country." ,p> MK: "There was talk that this JL having threaten threaten to kill somebody, not Gabrielle Giffords, you said, but somebody. Can you share with us any details on that threat?"
SD: "Well, Megan, if you were my lawyer, you would probably tell me not to answer that question, and I have been told by lawyers not to address that issue at the moment."
MK: "Was it in the distant past or recent?"
SD: "Fairly recent."
MEGYN Kelly
I saw part of that segment. He was very unprofessional. I hope someone starts impeachment proceedings. He has no business being in the job he is since he is so prejudiced.
Time for a Freedom of Information filing on the good Sheriff. He has good reason to be lawyering up.
Don’t ever go up against Megan Kelly. She won’t let you get away with it.
I was startled by this interview.
Why didn’t the Pima County Sheriff do something about Jered Loughlen - he must’ve known that Jared had a gun, as his office had to approve the background clearance for its purchase in the first place.
Jared had convictions for drug use — why did the Sheriffs office approve the purchase?
Amy and Randy Loughlen are Jared’s parents. His mother is a county employee. She works for Parks and Recreation in the Natural Resources Department. Is the fact she is a fellow employee of the county play a role in Sheriff Dupnik not pursuing charges against Jared for threatening people?
The question I’m concerned with is this: were the Loughlens cut some slack by the Sheriff’s office because of their politics, maybe they’re Democratic Party activists, or because their son was mentally ill?
Either way, that Sheriff had better lawyer up: he’s going to need that legal help.
Ping for you...
(1) He completely fell down on the job because his department couldn't have been bothered to provide the generic minimum standard of security at this event.
(2) His complete incompetence has been further underscored by the news that he was warned ahead of time and yet did absolutely nothing.
(3) His immediate reaction to this vicious atrocity was to figure out how he could spin it for political advantage - while the body of the innocent 9 year old child whom he failed was still warm.
Blatant partisan hack-titude on full display. No doubt he comes from a family who believed FDR was the ideal president.
Exlnt Megan you got the Jerk on nat. T.V.he is finished.
I just watched his interview with Megan Kelly. The sheriff is a complete fool.
Megyn Kelly had him dead to rights. He is a Sheriff - he should be commenting on the Facts and the Facts alone, NOT offering public commentary.
