Under Investigation: Sen.-Elect Josh Hawley For His Conduct As Missouri Attorney General

Not that anyone really expects anything to happen to the "charming" Little Josh, but it's nice to see some investigation into his conduct.

Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley is under investigation for possibly using "public funds" in his bid for U.S. Senate, the Secretary of State's Office announced Thursday.

Deputy General Counsel Khristine Heisinger said in a letter that the office will "commence an investigation" but didn't provide more details. The letter was addressed to the left-leaning American Democracy Legal Fund, which requested the investigation.

Hawley beat Democratic U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill on Nov. 6, and will resign as AG in January before becoming a senator next month.

An Oct. 31 Kansas City Star article said Hawley, a Republican, had consultants from his U.S. Senate campaign talk with state-paid staffers. The article, which was based on emails and other documents obtained through public records requests, also said that consultants ran meetings with senior staffers and were included on emails about state business.

"it's OK if you are a rePuke." Sad but true. But maybe the little maggot Hawley will squirm just a bit.
