Our check against the record

The record does not settle it

Checked against No record can settle this sentence: "at the center of it" is a characterization; the federal case in the Southern District of Ohio charged others, and its record does not rank anyone's place in the scheme.

The record: News releases and case records, including United States v. Larry Householder et al.

Context

The advertisement concerned the federal case over FirstEnergy money and Ohio House Bill 6; Husted has not been charged.

Topics: Energy, Corruption cases.
