Title: "If [Gov. Scott] said I resigned voluntarily, that is a lie."

FDLE Commissioner was forced to resign. Apparently, Baily didn't take kindly to playing politics with the Scott campaign. Scott responded accordingly.

After reading the articles there has to be more to it. Scott's staff were acting improperly with FDLE staff and he simply remained ethical about it.

The fact that all 3 elected officials agreed on his departure makes it appear that he was a pain in the arse to work with.

Baily didnt go public with every mistake the Scott people did, but it sounded like he knew about a lot of lapses the Scott crew were having running their show.

On the flip side, Scott should know that most Corporate USA has strict travel rules. Getting your pants in a wad because FDLE wont chauffeur your re-election hack on demand is a little over the top.

This is why people hate politically driven organizations.

I don't know anything about Baily (yet) but if he is a pain in the ass to the likes of Scott, Bondi and Atwater. That was probably a good thing for the rest of us.
