FlickrJust what do those documents say about Dow Constantine?We’ve got a mess on our hands here, folks. Let’s try to untangle it.Earlier today, conservative blog Sound Politics posted that they, along with Seattle Times reporter Keith Ervin, had been tipped off about a complaint filed against King County Executive Candidate Dow Constantine alleging inappropriate behavior towards “Jane Doe,” a female county employee. Politics says that when Ervin filed a public records request all he got was a temporary restraining order from “Jane Doe’s” lawyer arguing that if the info leaked she might lose her job. Then PubliCola added their own knot to the tangle.In a conversation with Jordan McCarren, spokesman for Constantine opponent Susan Hutchison, PubliCola says that McCarren claims Ervin also received a heavily redacted document. McCarren couldn’t say what was in that document and Ervin declined to comment. But then Politics weighed in again.Blogger Mark Griswold went on two right-wing radio talk shows and said not only had “Jane Doe” filed a complaint, but that it had been a sexual harassment complaint where Constantine was said to have promised her a promotion “as long as you keep quiet about this whole thing.” Then “Jane Doe’s” lawyer called the radio station to deny even the existence of a complaint.(Still following?)Then came denials from Constantine’s camp. Followed by Politics posting that it had to be a sexual harassment claim because that’s the kind of work in which “Jane Doe’s” lawyer specializes.Our story ends (for now) with Politics professing that the restraining order was used to keep the case out of the spotlight until after the election and that the Times isn’t doing enough to make the records public. And PubliCola saying that’s probably not true.So phew, there you are. More on this as it comes.
