This afternoon’s front-page story<\/a> sheds a bit more light on the infamous TBI investigation of Alan Beauchamp and his repeated threats of a libel suit.<\/p>\n

\n

[Oak Ridger, 8\/1\/06] In 2004, area media reported that the probation director had been cleared.<\/p>\n

But TBI spokeswoman Jennifer Johnson sees the outcome differently.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The TBI doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t, quote, clear people,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said. Anderson County District Attorney General Jim Ramsey agreed.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not in the business of clearing people,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’ve been told that the statute of limitations for possible charges in relation to this investigation has not expired, although I confess that I don’t know enough about criminal law to know exactly what those charges might be, nor how long the statute of limitations is. But if that is true, it does shed some light on why he might be so motivated to help his allies win the District Attorney’s race and a couple of judgeships.<\/p>\n

Now, if only the article had noted that the documents posted on LetsTalkFrank.com<\/a> did not come from the TBI file, but from Anderson County records, I would feel fully vindicated.<\/p>\n

It is unfortunate that the local papers are compelled to note in every article my status as a school board member, because the creation of that website had nothing whatsoever to do with the school board. It was the act of a private citizen on a Saturday morning. Of course, I do understand that it is news only because I hold elective office.<\/p>\n

If I were just another mom sitting at the keyboard, it’s unlikely that the papers would have covered it at all, and that would have been too bad.<\/p>\n

Hits to the site skyrocketed after last week’s story. It’s now up to 5,213.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
