A.K.A. "Don Segretti"

More on Democratic operative Keith Talley who entered House Republican Leader Jason Mumpower's locked office:

Talley entered Mumpower’s office to drop off records of the two DUI arrests of 46th District House candidate A.J. McCall from the 1990s. Neither case ended in a conviction, but that didn’t stop Talley from leaving envelopes with printouts of the case records on Mumpower’s desk as well as sending them to McCall’s wife.

McCall and Mumpower both questioned whether the records were obtained in a similar set of circumstances to those being investigated surrounding THP Lt. Ronnie Shirley. Shirley allegedly looked up the backgrounds of 182 individuals, some of them without authorization. Later it was learned the records were readily available in the Wilson County Courthouse.

However, one of the funniest political nicknames in recent memory was given to Talley by one of his own party chiefs, who recently referred to him as Keith “Don Segretti” Talley — a reference to the convicted Republican operative of Watergate fame.
