Put simply, “your words were akin to yelling ‘Fire’ in a crowded theatre.” That’s how Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell closed out a letter to Sheriff Adam Fortney, refusing to defend him against a recall effort over his public criticism and refusal to enforce the Gov. Inslee’s stay-at-home order.
Fortney made the comments in an April 21 Facebook post following a statewide address from Inslee outlining a path forward to reopening the economy, that critics complained lacked specific details on benchmarks.
Among other things, Fortney repeatedly questioned the constitutionality of the governor’s order, and reiterated his position that he would not enforce it.
The comments drew criticism from several public officials, including some county officials, State Attorney General Bob Ferguson, and the governor himself.
It also prompted the filing of a recall petition by Snohomish County resident Lori Shavlick, accusing him of malfeasance, and a violation of his oath of office for refusing to enforce the emergency order, encouraging violations, and unilaterally declaring it unconstitutional.

It appears that this Lori person has had a history with the courts. She was once arrested for arson of her own business, acquitted from lack of evidence, sued the county for defamation, and lost.
What’s a crowded theater?
Snort! I vaguely recall those things from long ago.
Recalling Freedom
It’s not difficult to find a leftist whack job in Snohomish. I live in Skagit, but would definitely vote to retain or re-elect this Sheriff if I lived down there.
Now that there is FUNNY!
Well how bad has Washington State actually been?
LOL
“It also prompted the filing of a recall petition by Snohomish County resident Lori Shavlick,”
She’s a “Karen” everyone hates a Karen. Don’t be a Karen.
Good.. let’s see how the people react to this.
I bet they are on his side

And i’ll bet more so the longer Inslee holds on to his positions.
I voted for and like Fortney.
The county prosecutor is bound to defend the County in all legal matters.
Whether he is bound to defend Fortney in a recall effort is doubtful since that is a private action against a politician...political act.
It would be like the State AG Ferguson defending in court Gov. Inslee if her were being “recalled.”
Fortney has a lot of support from the citizens and this woman is just someone with an axe to grind.
I bet they are on his side
Don’t underestimate the power of the “snowflakes of Snohomish”.
