with one of the most sophisticated and secure
computer data bases available to law enforcement.
He allowed it to be used to harass a man who blew the whistle on millions of dollars worth of fraud at the
APS Charter Vocational High School.
He allowed it to be used to investigate the background of a girl friend of an APS Deputy Superintendent.
He allowed it to be used by God knows who,
for God knows what.
Whether it was through his incompetence,
or through his corruption, makes a difference.
But not much.
His continuing refusal to tell the truth
tells the truth.
The FBI may have to continue to give him
access to their data base,
but they can't trust him anymore;
And neither can voters in the First Congressional District.
He will, of course, have the endorsement of Tommy Lang
and rest of the good ole boys in the media.
