McCall Expunged DUI File Dirty Trick Claimed By House Political Director

From the Associated Press:

A Democratic political activist says it was him - and not a state trooper who was suspended this week for unauthorized background checks - who delivered copies of a candidate’s drunken driving records to the Republican leader in the state House.

Keith Talley, political director for the House Democratic Caucus, tells The Associated Press he obtained copies of Republican state House candidate A.J. McCall’s records through a public records search at the Wilson County Courthouse.

Talley says he dropped the copies off on House Minority Leader Jason Mumpower’s desk several weeks ago in a move he describes as standard “political hardball.” He disputes the Bristol Republican’s claim that the records were placed in his locked office at night.
