And then my relationship with the sheriff who actually ended up investigating me for this case that I'm referring to. We had a pretty good relationship there for the first couple months when I got elected. I had asked for a couple of my investigators to be deputized, which is a pretty standard procedure. He agreed. And then he hired the individual that I had defeated in the election.

And the whole attitude changed. Everything changed. It was now very contentious. He had withdrawn his desire to deputize my investigators. The relationship turned very sour, very fast when he hired my my predecessor, which is unusual to have a lawyer working in the sheriff's department anyways, because statutorily I'm the lawyer for the sheriff's department.

So it's an unusual move to even hire a lawyer in a sheriff's department. You probably get two deputies for that kind of money. So it was unusual in a sense. So the relationship just soured, and it was kind of like they were coming after me immediately.

And then in late 23, they actually hired then the guy that's running against me, another lawyer who was a former employee of mine who's now the Lorain County prosecutor. They had hired him. So the agency that was investigating me had hired my predecessor and then the individual who was now running against me for the office. Sure. Two lawyers, first of all, in a smaller town.

I mean, we have about 300,000, a tenth maybe out of the 88 counties in Lorain County. It's fairly high, but it's a small town. To hire two lawyers on a sheriff's department is unusual. And they were both my political enemies. And then the detective that's investigating me is attempting to sleep with my girlfriend. So if you can think of a less objective investigation, Joe, I'm all ears.

What a fun workplace environment. I'm telling you. What was it like going to that office every day? It was wild. So really what happened was on October 1st, they charged me with the... with the felonies.

I was flabbergasted because I was kind of so confident in their inability to ever get anything like that on me that I was kind of boasting in the sense that, hey, all you had to do was go to a Leary Municipal Court, grab a complaint, you can do it, never thinking that it would actually happen. Yeah, because I was very confident that I did nothing illegal. So...
