O'Toole Lied to Clients, Called Out by Auditor of State
Prosecutor threatens clients, misrepresents and lies
This week Prosecutor O’Toole lied to County Elected Officials in ordering a cease and desist, threatening them with possible civil and legal trouble, and misrepresented the Auditor of State’s Office. The State Auditor issued a letter rebuking O’Toole’s lies regarding his office.
In the words of Commissioner’s Kozlowski, “If this were your private attorney, and she did this to you, you’d have already fired her.”
One of many examples of her lies in just one meeting as written in this Star Beacon Article by Brian Haytcher:
“This is a temporary request to cease and desist, I was instructed by the state auditor that this was what I should ask for,” O’Toole said at the start of Tuesday’s meeting.
The letter from the Auditor of State’s office to Thomas, signed by Faber’s chief of staff Sloan Spalding and dated Friday, stated the Auditor of State’s office has not issued or suggested a cease-and-desist order on this issue.
“AOS declined Prosecutor O’Toole’s invitation to engage in or investigate this issue based on information she provided during a telephone conversation with an attorney from our Special Investigations Unit (SIU),” the letter states.
“In fact, SIU determined they lack sufficient information upon which to even make a recommendation to the AOS Special Audit Task Force concerning the issues raised by Prosecutor O’Toole.”
The letter states it is intended to clear up misperceptions and mischaracterizations in response to news coverage and the cease-and-desist letter from O’Toole’s office.
Simply put, Prosecutor O’Toole is unfit for her office. The Republican Party, FOPs, and even now the State Auditor’s Office have called O’Toole out for lies, poor performance, and damage done to Ashtabula County.
We continue to demand her resignation now but be assured, following the Primary in 2024, O’Toole will cease to be the elected County Prosecutor for Ashtabula County.
