California attorney general suggests probe of governor-elect


ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 6 — Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger will hire a private investigator to look into allegations that he groped women, but he may keep the results from the state attorney general, a spokesman said Thursday.

SCHWARZENEGGER’S RELUCTANCE to turn over the results of the investigation stem from remarks Attorney General Bill Lockyer made earlier Thursday. Lockyer, a Democrat, said he advised Schwarzenegger that the misconduct allegations “are not going to go away” and that he should cooperate with an independent investigation.
Rob Stutzman, a spokesman for Schwarzenegger, said those statements violated attorney-client privilege and had forced Schwarzenegger to reconsider whether he would provide any information to Lockyer.
“In regard to a review of allegations that surfaced late in the campaign, the governor-elect had already decided to engage a well-respected investigative firm to look into the allegations,” Stutzman said. “He had intended to instruct the investigators to turn over the final results of that investigation to the attorney general. He will now reconsider that option.”

1. Why is this acceptable?

Is there any independent study going to be conducted on Schwing-boy? Why does the top branches of this country always get to control their own investigations? This is just down right looney-tunes.
