Escaped Prosecution by Blaming Watchdogs

Post by _moksha »

Citing a low likelihood of conviction, lawyers with the Utah attorney general's office announced Wednesday they had concluded an investigation into, and would not pursue legal action against, West Jordan Republican Rep. Ken Ivory.

"He is soliciting on the promise that if you give us money, we can get public land returned to your state," Campaign for Accountability's executive director, Anne Weismann, said in June. "More than half of the money they raise goes to him and his wife."

Remarking on the Republican Attorney General's unwillingness to prosecute, Ivory said the outcome of the Utah investigation was "completely expected."

You can be crooked with conviction when you know the outcome is rigged.
