A Tennessee Registry of Election Finance board member is criticizing the Attorney General’s Office over its investigation of two political groups, challenging the veracity of its report and raising questions about possible bias. According to the Tennessee Lookout, registry board member Tom Lawless says the attorney general’s office “did not do even a remotely close to thorough investigation. They just went through the motions.” He plans to call leaders from the Tennessee Constitutional Republicans and the Sumner County Constitutional Republicans to come before the board and explain how they are operating without registering with the state as political action committees. Lawless previously complained about the time it took the attorney general’s office to conduct the investigation.
