The Columbus Dispatch
reports that at least one culprit has emerged from the misuse of public
information to attack Joe Wurzelbacher — and to no one’s surprise,
she’s a Democrat and a big Barack Obama supporter.
Helen Jones-Kelly decided to check on Wurzelbacher as soon as he became
an issue in the third presidential debate. But this maxed-out donor to
Obama swears that she had no political reasons for her sudden curiosity
about Wurzelbacher
Those records are supposed to be checked only when some probable cause
exists to do so. What was Jones-Kelley’s probable cause? She claims
that sudden public notoriety is enough to generate an investigation of someone’s status. I can’t wait to hear what the ACLU makes of that explanation.
The more likely explanation comes from Ace:
Yes, Helen Jones-Kelley (two e’s in Kelley) just happens to be a maximum $2300 contributor to Barack Obama.
What a [expletive] shock, huh?
But she provides this sort of illegal intrusion into personal
records for anyone who “comes into the public light.” It’s a public
service, you see.
Right.
Riiiiight.
Here’s an even bigger shock:
Democrat Gov. Ted Strickland is satisfied that there are
no political overtures to the check on Wurzelbacher, a spokesman said.
“Based on what we know to this point, we don’t have any reason to
believe the information was improperly accessed or disclosed by a state
employee,” said Keith Dailey, Strickland’s press secretary.
No reason to believe that Wurzelbacher got politically vetted for
dirt? What reason existed to look up his information at that
particular point in time? Had someone filed a complaint against Joe?
The act of opening his court records by a public agency has to have some
motivation, and if no reason for a legitimate investigation exists,
then by deduction the reasons were illegitimate — and almost certainly
a Dumpster Dive for Dirt.
Change You Can Believe In — The State Will Own You. You’d better believe it.
