Frosh loses police endorsement to Republican Wolf in AG race

Republican attorney general
candidate Craig Wolf
Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh has lost the endorsement of the Maryland State Fraternal Order of Police he had in 2014. Maryland's police instead chose to endorse Republican Craig Wolf of Howard County in the attorney general race, Wolf announced Thursday.
MD Attorney General Brian Frosh (D)
Craig has been a federal prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice, and Assistant State's Attorney in Allegheny County. He has also been President & CEO of the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America for more than a decade. Craig enlisted in the U.S. Army at age 40 after the 9/11 attacks, and counts the Meritorious Service Medal and Bronze Star Medal among his commendations, after serving in Operation Enduring Freedom.

It's unusual for a sitting Attorney General to lose the support of law enforcement officials. Wolf suggests the reason may be that Frosh is "more focused on partisan politics in Washington than he is on the public safety issues in our state." Frosh has attempted to take a leading role in the "resistance" to President Trump since 2016, joining or filing multiple legal actions against Trump and his administration.

OK, that's now five candidates, out of several dozen, whom you have deigned to cover.

Yourself, Riemer, Hogan, Frosh and Wolf.

I contributed to them and got their bumper sticker and put it on my car. They gave me a speeding ticket anyway. Buncha crooks.

Anyway, I thought you hated public employee unions.

Opposing our Attorney General's efforts to block Trump's illegal orders as well as the illegal activities of Trump's businesses, is not a winning position in Maryland in 2018.

Wolf has orange skin just like his master. LOL

Also zero coverage of Kensington, which is closer to "Bethesda Row" than Pike & Rose.

In just the past three days, Manafort has been convicted, Cohen has taken a plea bargain and flipped, the owner of The National Enquirer has flipped, and now the CFO of the Trump Organization has flipped too.

Not the best time to hitch your wagon to Trump's horse. LOL

This is odd...I don't see this mentioned on the Facebook pages of either Craig Wolf or of the Maryland State Fraternal Order Of Police.

Have you picked up any endorsements from anyone, Robert?

7:06 AM - I assume you meant to type, "just like Obama's".

But what did you mean by that? What is just like Obama's what?
