Reply #8: Nothing ever came of it, no charges filed

[OzarkDem]

I think some rumors must have been circulating at the time. Brown was very young for a Secy of State at the time, had longish hair, and the old stalwart GOP'ers thought of him as a "hippie", so there was a lot of silly rumors floating around. Sherrod called for the investigation himself and when nothing came of it, that was it.

That's why everyone laughed when DeWine brought it up. I suppose it was such old news that had been re-hashed many times before when he ran for office.
