An alert reader, MB, points out that the disgraceful behavior of Maryland Republican candidates will go unpunished:
The Justice Department says it won’t investigate misleading fliers that Republicans distributed in Maryland on Election Day.
[...]
Acting Assistant Attorney General James Clinger says there’s not enough legal basis to support such an investigation.
And you wonder why so many people are turned off by politics. Could part of the reason be that candidates can out-and-out lie and get away with it?
Thanks for posting an update on this Ms. Paige. I figured this would be the case, but I hadn’t heard, or been able to find anything on it since. I don’t see how MD AG James Clinger can say there is no legal basis, ALL HE NEEDS is to take a look at the flier.
