Calls for FDLE investigations grow as Gov. Rick Scott continues to avoid questions

[mfcorey1]

TALLAHASSEE As Gov. Rick Scott on Friday continued to brush off questions about allegations of political meddling made by the state’s former top law enforcement officer, pressure mounted elsewhere in Florida to get answers.

A Land O’Lakes man filed a formal complaint with the FBI asking for an investigation into a series of claims made last week by Gerald Bailey, whom Scott ousted as commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

“There’s a clear indication of tampering with criminal investigations and FDLE that an impartial investigator needs to take a look at,” said Jim Frissell, a 58-year-old engineer and former Indiana deputy sheriff.

Frissell sent his complaint to Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam, who, along with Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater, said on Thursday that a third party should investigate Bailey’s allegations, which included charges that Scott’s office or campaign pressured him to fudge details in a criminal investigation, shuttle campaign workers in state vehicles, expedite a criminal investigation of a possible Scott appointee and craft Scott’s campaign platform on law enforcement.

2. I'm very angry at my neighbors and coworkers for not voting...

even the GOP hard core don't like this guy. Unless you believe in conspiracy theories about hacking the election, the lack of turnout by Democrats is the only reason this idiot is in office.

He's the worst crook ever, and now we have 4 more years of continuing the stupid manipulations. I just hope they catch him in something illegal.

4. Yes,,,

there are lesser evils and a non-vote in most cases is in fact a vote for the Greater Evil.

5. ON THIS one I will take the manipulation of the election results, especially

when Charlie Crist was leading and all of a sudden Scott shoots ahead. The fix was in in Floriduh!

3. Just like the rest of

Scott's transgressions, this will be pooh poohed and totally ignored. As long as there's low taxes, early bird specials and plenty of guns, the people of Florida don't care what their politicians do.
