the charge was misconduct in office

Check the standards for your local law enforcement agencies where you intend to apply.  The charge sounds like a reduced charge with plea of guilty.  Law enforcement agencies normally consider your actual conduct during the crime and not the court resolution since they are evaluating you on your character and fitness to be a police officer and carry a firearm.  If the charge was in the  last 7 to 10 years or involved dishonesty or perjury chances are you will not be hired.  A police officer is expected to spend much time testifying under oath, and obviously if they can show you lied under oath in the past, your ability to be a law enforcement officer is impeached.  Sorry but most other public jobs are available providing no felony or misuse of funds.

Sounds very negligent to me, despite attempts to whitewash the incident among friends.  Still and all, even were the friends not the VP, probably no charges would be filed, and no lawsuit. (Esp. since Cheney provided immediate medical help.)

Yes.  It is corruption, if it is really happening.  You could report it to your assistant district attorney.  I say assistantt, d.a. because he or she no doubt has aspirations to becoming the big dog.  If anyone wants to make a name for themselves by taking down corrupt civil servants it would be an assistan district attorney.   Report it to them, or a local t.v. reporter.  The local news station no doubt has someone who specializes in ruining lives and reputations.  Have fun.

He is an elected official.  District attorneys are attorneys in the state and are elected by the voters.

Getting caught \nHe should have had a buffer between him and the controversy \nand a patsy to blame it on.\nAbove all he should have not got involved and betrayed the voters that put him in office.

he resigned because he would have been fired or impeached by the Senate anyway.  He screwed the pooch and needed to be removed.

The question isn't worded right.\n\nThe elements of the lie, an omission, and a falsehood are NOT jointly enough to constitute perjury.\n\nThe lies, omissions, and falsehoods must, themselves, be about a CRIMINAL MATTER.  Heavy petting, frottage and oral sexual contact are not criminal activities in the District of Columbia.  They are unethical for federal employees, but White House employees are exempt.  Therefore, Clinton did not PERJURE himself because he was covering up grubby sexual acts which were themselves LEGAL in that locality.\n\nAnd Clinton, himself a lawyer, knew all this when he was lying under oath.

Shame on you Fire God!  Condemning a man for hypocrisy and wrongdoing based on innuendo.  What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?  Stepping down from his position is NOT an admission of guilt -- it's an acknowledgment that he realizes he won't be an effective leader until this matter is properly investigated.\n\nTo answer the question:  It has absolutely nothing to do with this election.  The liberals are grasping at every straw they can get their hands on to make conservatives look bad.

I know from reviewing people's criminal records as part of my job...sometimes you get the charge and the conviction, because often what the person was charged with is different than what they were convicted of.  So, it is possible that the charge will show up on your criminal records with "pending" as the disposition or something like that.  It is also possible that because the charge is recent, it hasn't "caught up" with you yet, so you might get lucky.  Your best bet is to notify your employer that the charge might show up just so that you look like you are trying to be honest.

IF this is for real, what has stopped her from seeing the District Attorney? She should have been there the following morning. She should press charges, period...crooked police anywhere are a big problem. IF she has witnesses, will they testify??? Better have all the ducks in a row before going anywhere with this.

Don't worry, if you didn't do anything you won't be charged with anything. Some people are questioned sometimes, but that's just to see if a charge is viable. I costs a lot of money and takes a lot of paperwork to charge somebody, so officers don't lay charges casually.

Not only grounds for dismissal but it's also a felony, and in some cases is a crime, obstruction of justice, and all parties involved should be prosecuted accordingly to the full extent of the law..☺

Yes, of course he has broken the law.  Regardless of his representations to the contrary, there is no such authorization in the Constitution, in case law, or in the statutes or regulations.  His behavior is impermissible and he should most definitely be impeached for illegal wiretapping and, if found guilty, be removed from his office in disgrace.

Most states have laws giving immunity from suit to government employees carrying out duties in the course of their employment.  As an attorney, he is subject to discipline for any conduct that does not conform with the ethics rules of the state.  Contact the state bar if you feel that some ethical impropriety occurred.

He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident ---- the popular belief at the time was that he and his friend, Mary Jo, were drunk and driving home together - he lost his way and plunged into the water ---he was able to swim to safety - Mary Jo could not-  The scandal lingered because (1) he left the scene and did not appear in public until the next day (when any alcohol, if any, would have been gone from his system); and (2) he was a US Senator and married, and he was coming home late with a co-worker, a single female, presumably from a party.  I think only the Senator knows what truly happened that night - it was a tragic accident - whether or not there was addtitional wrongdoing (e.g. driving under the influence and involuntary manslaughter) will be taken to the grave by the Senator --- The accident certainly took a toll on his family life and certainly his presidential ambitions. Given the many many years of faithful and extremely productive service he has given this country, I believe the scales of history will tip in his favor when history looks at him. Remember to err is human ..to forgive ....certainly not Republican.
