Welcome to the Doll House, Lohra

Once again, the Utah Attorney General's office is probing the Salt Lake County District Attorney's office.

This time, the
Mark Shurtleff's boys will investigate the relationship between booted county prosecutor Kent Morgan and an accused pimp, Steven Maese. Morgan has acknowledged that he and Maese have been political allies, but argues the AG's office probe lacks credibility because AG Mark Shurtleff is close pal of District Attorney Lohra Miller. Morgan says he was fired because he unsuccessfully challenged Miller for DA:
The attorney general, who introduced her at the convention, does not seem to be the right agency to conduct an impartial investigation.
Miller canned Morgan last month, alleging that he had shared confidential information with his buddy Maese regarding the investigation into a possible prostitution ring operating at The Doll House escort service. Maese is awaiting trial on counts of exploiting a prostitute, money laundering, racketeering and attempting to intimidate a witness.

Steven Maese sure knows how to pick friends and lovers. Rising Democratic star Kelly Ann Booth was forced this week to drop out of the race for Roz McGee's House seat following revelations that Maese was, until recently, her fiancé and partner in starting a nurse-training business.

Shurtleff's office finished in January an investigation into complaints Miller illegally ran businesses out of her home and hosted raucous late-night parties. The AG "found no basis for criminal charges." You've got to wonder if Maese delivered the keg.

I heard that a Democrat leader was in cohoots with the King camp. The deal being King gets the nomination and the Dems get money from the trial lawyers.

Well, I heard that Kelly Ann threatened to expose Democratic leaders who patronized her boyfriend the pimp's business unless she got the nomination.

Funny thing, that all of us who post things we "heard" do so anonymously, isn't it?

I used to work for Steve and not once did he ever try to make me do anything! Yes, he's a d*ck but never forceful!

I have recently run into Maese and Booth, apparently living together. Just another politician lying to look better.
