The media is beginning to circle them like sharks. It's starting to look like Louisville's Watergate.

Nixon got re-elected too until he had to resign. It's coming. They can't hide it all forever.

NEW: Mayor's office withholding key details of @LMPD sex abuse investigation. Jason Riley ‏@JasonRileyWDRB

"It took us 2 months of haggling with the city, appealing to @kyoag & having an attorney for Metro Council intervene for us, to get the invoices from special investigator Kerry Harvey, to see who he interviewed & what all he did during @LMPD investigation. We know that Harvey would have had to have interviewed @LMPD Chief Steve Conrad, but it is redacted from Harvey's invoices. In fact, the only witnesses not hidden were Mayor Greg Fischer and his chief of staff, Ellen Hesen. In this instance, Fischer's attorneys just blocked out several days worth of Harvey's work. @CouncilmanJames, who has seen the invoices, looked at the redactions and does not believe there was any reason for them. As for when Harvey's report itself will be released, nobody really knows. There are concerns about redacting: the names of victims; information sealed by a federal judge; evidence that might hurt the criminal and civil cases. And there have been FOP concerns as well. Harvey began his investigation on March 17, 2017, meeting with @louisvillemayor and his staff and doing an interview with The Courier-Journal. He did not interview the mayor, however, until shortly before he concluded the investigation a year later."

Like it says in an article I read about this. How can the Mayor claim Attorney/Client privilege when Harvey is an INVESTIGATOR, not an attorney? Following the Mayor's rules, can I now claim Attorney/Client privilege between myself and say, my barber? Same thing.
