Missouri Politicians Investigating Professor who is Running for Attorney General Spot

Share this article

As College Fix noted:

The candidacy of a University of Missouri law professor running for Missouri’s Attorney General post has a small group of Republican lawmakers in the Midwestern state probing whether the university is giving the prof a “sweetheart” deal by allowing him to run for office.

On paper, Josh Hawley looks like a perfect candidate to earn the 2016 Republican nominee for Attorney General. A constitutional law professor, Hawley has previously clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, and was co-counsel for the Hobby Lobby contraception case that prevailed in the Supreme Court last year.
