Prater Says He 'Resents' Holmes Suggestion

Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater told the Tulsa World today he doesn't appreciate an attempt by Democratic Party Chairman Ivan Holmes to "pull" his office into the Lance Cargill controversy.

“I resent the fact that it appears the Oklahoma Democratic Party is attempting to pull my office into a partisan fight,” Prater said, noting that Attorney General Drew Edmondson’s office has already reviewed the issue and decided no further action is warranted.

Holmes today asked Prater, a Democrat, to look into the Cargill fundraising controversy, that drew Cargill an Ethics Commission reprimand for irregularities in donations intended for the Oklahoma Republican Party that instead went to other entities.
