"Last fall, the Republican governor of Missouri, Mike Parson, asked law enforcement to pursue charges against a local reporter in Missouri, because that reporter reported accurately on a security flaw ..."

"Strickland’s case was not a priority."

"The Republican attorney general delayed a hearing on the case twice, maintaining Strickland was guilty."

"Parson told reporters that Strickland`s circumstances didn`t necessarily make it a priority to jump in front of the line."
