We knew this much
The Ohio inspector general has concluded that Joe the Plumber’s records were improperly snooped after he became famous for asking the Obamessiah a simple question about taxes. That was obvious the moment it happened.
Helen Jones-Kelley, the suspended director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, “had no legitimate agency function or purpose to support her decision” to check on the newly minted political figure, the report states.
The investigation by the office of Inspector General Thomas P. Charles found that the reasons that Jones-Kelley offered for the checks “were not credible and they included contradictions, ambiguity, and inconsistencies.”
The report reached no conclusion on whether Jones-Kelley’s approval of the checks were politically motivated.
“However, the circumstances surrounding the unauthorized searches are exacerbated in light of the director’s sending and receiving e-mail related to a political activity through state resources,” the report said.
No conclusion on whether approval of the checks was politically motivated? What else would they have been?
