Some folks have asked me why, since I have been critical about Mr Kline, I haven't said anything about Paul Morrison. The answer is easy: it hurts.
Paul Morrison was a very respected DA in Johnson County (and actually in the rest of the state). So much so, that even when he switched to the Democratic Party, republicans still stood by him in huge numbers to trounce Phill Kline in the Attorney General election.
So, now what happens. Morrison gets caught in an extra marital affair. And with someone in his office. That is stupid. Plain stupid. Old expression: "you don't s**t where you eat"
Now his former paramour has lodged a sexual harassment claim and the JoCo DA wants to investigate the possibility that Morrison used his affair for illegal access/influence to happenings in the DA's office.
First..............the sexual harassment claim. Definitely going to have to see how that plays out. Didn't she consent to it for over two years? Is it harassment or is it the revenge of a scorned woman? Could be interesting.
As for the alleged improprieties about access to the DA's office inner workings............an investigation is probably justified. Need to wait for the results.
If Morrison was unhappy at home, he did have a choice. He could have pulled a "Giuliani". Get a divorce and find a new love. But, don't play around (especially when you are a high profile individual) and not in your own backyard.
Paul Morrison will be missed for his prosecutorial acumen. The worst part of it is that he caused it himself. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
