Benny Perez and the Investigation

[Who'sYourData?]

of course...

but i don't see any suppression either... he had the opportunity to say WHATEVER he wanted in the interview.  

I see now that Leavitt's attorneys are merely complaining that his full statement was not included in the report.  They wanted it made public for Leavitt from a PR perspective.  It's a non-issue with regard to his dismissal.  None of the people interviewed had their full statement included in the report, and Leavitt's attorneys aren't complaining about that.

Where are we getting the idea that he wasn't involved in the investigation?

We're not  ..... from the Dodd article:

Leavitt attorney Will Florin says the document contains information that was "suppressed" by South Florida officials after they interviewed the trooper during an investigation into Leavitt's conduct.

Did you just skip over that part?

Again, this is irrelevant.  The report was for the consumption of reporters.  Leavitt and his attorneys' were provided the full transcripts of all interviews.  

It is the full transcripts which would be brought up in court.  This whole "supression" crap is just that.  There were lots and lots of details that were not included in the report.  You can bet that Genshaft and Woolard had all the details.

The whole "supression" thing has absolutely no bearing on legal basis for termination.  The only purpose is serves is for the future marketing of Jim Leavitt's hireability.

They have Discovery in mediation? Are you sure? They have to do that for a court case, but it isn't to that point.
