“He knew what he hit and he lied.”
Who knew that impeachment would become the national pastime? Fresh off of Donald Trump’s second season, the minor leagues appear ready to launch. In the Democratic League, Andrew Cuomo might get drafted by his state legislature, while South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg has a tryout coming in the Republican League — soon. Ravnsborg appears to have lied about a fatal traffic accident last year, and now everyone wants him out, but he’s not going anywhere at the moment: Days after South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg fatally struck a man while driving in September, detectives told the Republican official they had found a pair of broken reading glasses inside his Ford Taurus. They belonged to the man he killed. That was a problem, detectives said, because Ravnsborg,44, said he didn’t know he had hit a man until the following day, when he returned to the scene and found the body of Joseph Boever,55, in a ditch. “They’re Joe’s glasses, so that means his face came through your windshield,” one of the detectives said in an interview released by the South Dakota Department of Public Safety on Tuesday. The interviews raise questions about the conduct of the state’s top law enforcement official in the Sept.12 incident, giving fuel to a chorus of lawmakers demanding he leave office. On Tuesday, a bipartisan group of lawmakers filed two articles of impeachment against Ravnsborg, who has since been charged with three misdemeanors, and South Dakota Gov.
