It’s a shame that it took an embarrassing elapsed time clock – and frankly Mike McCarville following up on our lead – for Dirty Harry Coates to admit that he himself ended the senate investigation into the alleged theft of his emails. After the House surveillance tapes showed no suspicious characters “breaking into his office,” Coates quietly ended the investigation and hoped and prayed the sleepy Oklahoma media would let the story die. Loyal readers of OKPNS knew we weren’t going to let Sen. Turncoats off the hook that easy.

From The McCarville Report Online:

A Department of Public Safety investigation into the disappearance of a confidential file in the possession of Republican Senator Harry Coates has ended at his request, The McCarville Report Online has learned.

A letter from Coates, R-Seminole, dated April 30, reports that the investigation to that point had found nothing conclusive and to avoid additional expense, he asked that it end.

The internal probe apparently involved a review of camera images of the hallway outside Coates’ office. That review obviously produced no evidence the file was taken from Coates’ office.

There are still a couple of issues here that need to be tied up. One, at Coate’s press conference, he called the alleged burglars “a few fanatical individuals” who were against his attempts to repeal the popular HB 1804. Doesn’t he now owe an apology to law abiding citizens who are only trying to protect the safety of their families and the sovereignty of their country? And second, in order for the Senate investigation to have started, the senator had to file a police report. Since everyone now knows Dirty left the documents in the crapper – and he knows that we know he left the documents in the crapper – did Dirty Harry knowingly file a false police report? These are a few questions we’ll be following for you over the next couple of days.
