Well, I really do have a dog in the this next fight...

And let it be a warning to all who are in politics and live with their "fiance"...

John Kitzhaber controversy: Oregon attorney general launches criminal investigation

The Oregonian - 1/20/15
Quote:
Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum announced Monday that she has opened an investigation
into the allegations of public corruption against Gov. John Kitzhaber and Cylvia Hayes

Rosenblum announced the unprecedented criminal investigation nearly two hours after Kitzhaber
released a letter he sent asking her to open a "full and independent factual review."
Calls for a more rigorous investigation increased, however, after recent questions about
whether Hayes reported $118,000 in payments on tax returns, and after Kitzhaber deflected
questions at a contentious Jan. 30 news conference.
<snip>
Former Oregon Attorney General Dave Frohnmayer confirmed Monday that the
attorney general can - and must -- investigate any possible corruption.
"The fact that you represent an agency in its official capacity doesn't preclude you from investigating
individual wrongdoing," Frohnmayer said. "You represent the institution, not the person."


And besides all that:

"I would have thought it better to ask for an investigation by a special prosecutor from outside
the state or outside the political system," said Senate Minority Leader Ted Ferrioli, R-John Day.
"The question is only how does it look to have the Democrats investigating Democrats."
