In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Montana Commissioner of Political Practices opens complaints against AG candidates

Earlier this week, the Daily Montanan reported that at an event last Saturday, an audio recording obtained by the news organization appeared to capture Knudsen calling Montana’s campaign finance laws “ridiculous” and saying that he asked a friend to run against him in the partisan primary as a way to raise more money.

Logan Olson, a Republican who appears on the ballot, is also the Daniels County Attorney. Olson appears to have done little in the way of campaigning. Prior to the complaints being filed, the COPP said recruiting a candidate to run under false premises could be a campaign violation.

“Both Austin Knudsen and Logan Olson have the same treasurer and campaign manager, Katie Wenetta of Burning Tree Consulting,” the complaint said. “This clear tie between the two ‘campaigns’ is egregious and possibly unlawful.”

Not even sure why Olson bothered to have a treasurer, since he has $0 in campaign donations.

Judicial panel recommends suspending Montana’s AG from practicing law for 90 days

In its findings, the panel said there was no doubt actions by the attorney general’s office “repeatedly, consistently and undeniably,” violated professional conduct rules and are “arguably deserving of the most serious consequences.”
90 days? That's it?

People who enforce the laws really ought to have to obey the laws themselves.
