Well, this DID come out days before an election. He certainly needs to be investigated but I can see how he can claim it's politically motivated...at least in part.
@5, you realize, of course, that Dow and the Sheriff are separately elected officials. Executive Constantine would have no reason to apologize, right? Beyond that, the many articles Mr. Kamb has written about the Sheriff speak loudly to the mental health issues of both accusers as well as his own axe-grinding against the Sheriff. It's days before the election. Could that have anything to do with these sudden revelations?
