Gansler's office sent an email and left a voicemail message suggesting that the state should act quickly on a request from someone who claimed to be an important political supporter of the lawyer's boss contains a number of revelations that are unflattering &#8212; but not all that surprising.

And the politician reacts angrily and indignantly when that ambition is discussed in public.
