Opinion: Republican DA says Mulroy has done nothing to warrant removal
Frederick H. Agee
Frederick H. Agee is Republican District Attorney General for the people of Crockett, Gibson and Haywood counties and the only elected district attorney general in Tennessee who currently serves in the military. (The following opinions in his columns do not reflect those of the Department of Defense.)
Frederick H. Agee says, “The will of the people elected Steve Mulroy and a legislator recklessly proposing to remove him from office through legislative action — and not an election — would be more in line with Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-Un’s dictates than George Washington and Thomas Jefferson’s democracy.”
