I spoke too soon. He can’t even resign competently.

Dann negotiating his resignation in return for a delay in the investigation? Don’t fall for it. Why delay? To wipe computers clean, like the one in the Youngstown office? To shred files? Take him out today in handcuffs please.

#1 right.

Not sure what cards he has to play except force impeachment, which he probably doesnt want to do.

Marc really really really does not get it, does he? Seems now that an independent investigation is precisely what he may have been fearing all along, between not having the complaints go to the OCRC which goes back to the AG's Civil Rights Section, whichever one that is, not appointing an external investigator in the first place and not recognizing on his own, months ago, that people needed to go and he didn't make them go.

Sigh. The shallowness of understanding, by him, of the impact of what's transpired is just unbelievable to me.

The Dispatch is reporting that he’s trying to negotiate the terms of his departure, so that the Inspector General won’t pursue his investigation. I can’t see what leverage Dann has, however.

I’m so happy this appears to be over. (Famous last words, I know.)
