You are starting to see much more of this around the country: when Democrats find that they can't win by votes, they will even fabricate a problem to create the impression of impropriety. Can't win, so let's make something scandalous to eliminate a decent candidate ineligible, and maybe get a weaker candidate.

I bet that Democrat "dirty tricks" are at work.

They file the complain AFTER the filing deadline has passed so no one else could replace Jensen on the ballot.

Even if totally exonerated, Jensen is tarred as some sort of crook, as few will ever note the outcome of the investigation. So the Dems increase their chances of undermining Jensen's support regardless of his being guilty or not.

Very clever! Very diabolical! Very effective!

When a Republican holds two positions that may be a conflict of interest, that are seemingly unethical within the confines of State or Federal law, is currently being investigated, the simplest conclusion has to be that Democrats have a vendetta and have initiated the frivolous investigation. Of course I say this in full throttle sarcasm because your remarks have overlooked the simplest theory which is usually the most correct conclusion. Isn�t it possible that Jensen really did breach some serious conflicts of interest by holding these two positions? Now whether Jensen did this in complete and utter disregard of the law shouldn�t he Jensen be investigated and charged with a crime?

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has an obligation to resolve any appearance of impropriety to ensure other law suits don�t fall upon their office for negligence and failure to enforce ethical compliance.
