“…served as the state’s top legal official from 2001 to 2013…”
I’m sure he’s left a very nice legacy.

“Since money is the new speech…”
Funny, but not that far off, unfortunately. There’s a certain Wisconsin judge that would give these guys gold stars for promoting “free speech”.
What was it- “neither corruption, nor the appearance of corruption”?. Oy vey.
It’s Utah. Wrist slap and a missionary position apiece.
“No magic underwear for you!”
Shame Swallow’s criminal pal’s name wasn’t Spits.
“Xenu made us do it!”
This one is a real shocker to me. Not surprised that these two were corrupt to the core; we know that from their own mouths… But that they would actually be arrested and charged with the crimes they committed in Utah by the Utah authorities___that is what surprises me.
Mormons run amok?
“The 5 Wildest Details…”
Just wild ‘n’ crazy guys!
I hear one was wearing a Groucho mask when arrested – the one with the nose and mustache attached to the glasses.
No, gallows humors is not beneath a Mormon elder.
Pennsylvania State Senator Tim Solobay availed himself of private jet travel and a trip to the Super Bowl courtesy of Consol Coal, an industry who has since received clearly favorable treatment from the Senator.
When public outrage ensued, he refunded the cost of the flight as if it were a first-class ticket and said he was sorry, and as far as I’ve seen reported, that’s it.
No word on how he’s going to erase his memory of the face time spent with Consol lobbyists during the soiree: at every meal, for drinks, and of course at the game itself. And my guess is not only will he never stand trial for bribery, he’ll be reelected.
My guess is that instead they’ll claim they and their benefactors were merely exercising their freedom of religion. You see, in Mammonism, they worship money.
Q: Why do you always take two Mormons with you when you go fishing?
A: Because if you only take one, he’ll drink all your beer!
“bust people up”
Thugs!!
A Mormon bone cruncher? Really? Some guy’s fantasy of himself.
So we have a duo of a guy named Swallow and another whose name rhymes with “shirtless”.
Did these guys ever sit on Larry Craig’s staff?
This is really distressing. How can one get away with being corrupt? They’re watching everything!
Man, this is the kind of case that Bobby Goren chewed up and spit out on L&O: CI. It’s a shame he’s now a person of interest.
Good to see these tough-on-crime republicans aren’t being to tough on themselves. Cue the music for Law and Order: Dumb dum dum dum…
the gop/baggers sure loves their criminals…the Free Speach of Big Money is a sirens’ call to the white collar criminals…It seems to be mostly “conservatives” with a “calling” or “God told them to run” sort of scam…
Something not mentioned is Shurtleff was also generously rewarded by Mitt Romney and Orin Hatch for his support (wink-wink) during the Salt Lake Winter Olympics held in 2002. Shurtleff was instrumental in helping Swiss Mitt and Orin Hatch in securing just over $ 2B in Federal Government bail outs to save the Olympics and help Utah avoid running a huge deficit!
The LDS strikes again. It’s frowned upon to exploit a fellow Mormon…but it’s open season on none-Mormons. Utah is one of the most corrupt states in the nation and the LDS cult is behind all of it.
“Polynesian friends”?! I feel a Coen Bros. script treatment coming on in 3…2…
