Ohio Dems are doing their level best to revise what actually happened with former disgraced Democrat A.G. Marc Dann. Ohio’s Democrat Governor, and all of those around him, knew full well what they were getting into when they foisted Marc Dann upon Ohio’s voters in 2006. They just didn’t think they’d get caught. Do you wonder for a minute why Ted Strickland, Ohio’s Democrat Governor, and Chris Redfern, Ohio’s Democrat Party Chairman, were so enthusiastic about Marc Dann in 2006 over Subodh Chandra in the Democrat primary?

From LegalNewsLine:
The report Dailey referred to was issued by Ben Espy, who, at the time, was Dann’s Executive Assistant Attorney General. In late April, Dann had appointed Espy to lead an internal investigation into several charges leveled against Dann and other superiors in his office.
When made public May 2, the report revealed that for many, the work environment in Dann’s office was hostile, female employees had been sexually harassed and superiors who were notified of those allegations did nothing to stop or investigate them.
“The intent was to outline a very well-reasoned and strong case for impeachment,” said Dailey.
Following the release of the Espy report, Strickland ordered his legal staff, led by chief legal counsel Kent Markus, to collaborate with Ohio House Democrats to organize reasons to impeach Dann. Their efforts were summarized in a Power Point presentation described by Dailey as a “collection of discussions” between Ohio Rep. Jennifer Garrison, Ohio Rep. Mark Okey, Ohio Rep. Dan Dodd, Ohio Minority Leader, Rep. Joyce Beatty and the governor’s legal staff. Garrison, Okey and Dodd are all attorneys.
