As Kris Kobach left office, unsecured gun was found in filing cabinet, successor says

By Jonathan Shorman


TOPEKA -- Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab’s office says that on the day last January it took over from outgoing secretary Kris Kobach, it found an unsecured gun in a filing cabinet.

The discovery was mentioned in a timeline Schwab aides produced as part of an investigation into 1,000 rounds of ammunition that went missing after they were purchased during Kobach’s tenure.

The timeline, obtained through a public records request, provides new details about how the secretary of state’s office armed itself after Kobach gained the power to prosecute voter fraud in 2015.

Schwab’s staff said that they discovered the agency-owned gun in the secretary’s downtown Topeka office suite on Jan. 14. Kobach, who lost the 2018 governor’s race, is now running in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate and has championed Second Amendment rights.

for it. At minimum, that person would be the last person documented as having control over it.

That person's ass should be in sling right now.
