Democratic gubernatorial candidate Matt Flynn has pleaded ignorance about the transfer of pedophile priests during his 15 years as lawyer for the Milwaukee Archdiocese.
“I did not know about it,” Flynn said of priest reassignments on a video produced by his campaign. “I was not involved in it. I was not asked about it. I did not condone it.”
His boss at the time, then-Archbishop Rembert Weakland, went even further, saying no lawyers were involved in the reassignments.
Strong words.
But a 26-year-old case raises serious doubts about each of those claims.
