State or Federal level....this man should not be in ANY governmental office, and should not even be allowed to be a public sector employee...
I also have this question: As he has not been offically "cleared" of the various types of murder, manslaughter, and accessory to murder charges~that is, he remains under an umbrella of suspicion (which I take to mean that he continues to be investigated)~is he "cleared" to run for State office? What say ye attorneys out there...Maybe they can concurrently re-investigate him because he's throwing his hat in the ring...??
Of course you are entitled to your opinion regarding JR's fitness for public office, but there is no law that prevents him from holding that office or any other job in America. He has not been convicted of anything connected to his daughter's death, or anything else to my knowledge. The papers are filled with articles about politicians who have been convicted of crimes before, during and after they were in office. Consider the previous post which referred to Ted Kennedy. He doesn't have to be "cleared" to run for State office, nor investigated. Perhaps what you are referring to is "dirt" or skeletons in the closet each side attempts to dig up on the other which is then reported in kind by the media.
