RUFUS - As the New Shire State Police are investigated by the feds, Governor Cooke seems to be distancing himself from the situation altogether. The Governor who's governed on the premise of honesty and accountability. But why is he stopping that front now.

Under New Shire State law, the Governor oversees the operation of the agency, but has claimed that he only knew about the investigation as of today, but we all know he knew about the investigation since it was launched last year.

Cooke's potential bid at the Presidency is riding on this corruption scandal, and he could face backlash from supporters if it is discovered that he aided in the cover up, after several records went missing. The feds are seeking those documents.

In a tweet, he claimed that he only found about the investigation at 5:50 PM this evening, but many voters say that he is the Governor of a major state, he would know about the investigation.

The investigation has resulted in the subpeona of Commissioner Lorenzo Marley, Assistant Commissioner Lee Adams, several N.S.S.P troopers and other employees of the New Shire State Police. They will appear in court at a late date.
