Why did it take the administration so long to stop the scandal?


The Tennessean picks up on one of the questions we asked yesterday that demands an answer from the administration. Why did it take more than a month for the administration to react to the illegal and unauthorized background checks? Of course, one also wonders why it took over two years for this scandal to come to light.

It isn't clear why the department's leadership took more than a month to cut off Shirley's access to the criminal justice portal database.

That was done on July 3, the day after a formal criminal investigation was launched. The THP leadership has not released the names of those checked.
