Stumbo may turn merit files over to the Feds.

Ryan Alessi, in his blog Pol Watchers (link is on the bottom right), is reporting that AG Stumbo is mulling over turning over the merit system investigation files over to the U. S. Attorney's office for review of possible federal law violations. Questions: Is this what Stumbo is looking at? If so, what about qualified immunity for a state's Chief Executive?
More questions: Was this "let's turn it all over to the Feds" Stumbo's angle all along, or was he holding the "political trump card" just in case Gov. Fletcher filed for re-election -- is it merely a coincidence that Stumbo let his intentions be known just as the ink on the Gov.'s filing papers was barely dry?
