Good for the Sheriff to stand behind his deputy. Ms. Mack - not so much. She was perfectly willing to say that the ranger lied to cover her "pants unzipped" ass when she found out there was no video of the incident.

Sheriff: Minnesota lawmaker cited for making out 'changed her tune' after details trickled out

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Minnesota lawmaker cited for making out in a public park with a fellow legislator "changed her tune" between the date of the incident and when details started to trickle out, according to an email from the sheriff whose office handled the case.

According to his account of conversations with Rep. Tara Mack obtained by The Associated Press through an open records request, Dakota County Sheriff Tim Leslie wrote Mack initially "said she was glad the deputy came along to save her from an uncomfortable situation" after she and Rep. Tim Kelly were cited for nuisance on Aug. 25. Days later, her attitude about the incident had changed, Leslie said, suggesting it could ruin her career.

Leslie's summary of conversations with Mack was included in an email Leslie sent to himself this week and provided to the AP Thursday in response to a request for the incident report and any correspondence with the two lawmakers.

"She referred to it as divine intervention," he wrote of his initial phone call with Mack, who he said also inquired "what was public and how this could play out."

The sheriff went on to write that Mack's attitude had changed two days after the citation when she got wind that some of the park ranger's notes were part of the public notes in the case.

"Today 8/27 she changed her tune, she had heard from a lobbyist that there was info that was in the notes," the sheriff wrote. Leslie wrote he told her the notes said Mack was in a car with her pants unzipped and down.

"She did not comment other than to say this is very salacious and that she is married to a minister and her career could be ruined," Leslie wrote. "I said I understood that but if you are choosing to say that the park ranger lied ... I have a big problem."

According to Leslie's notes, Mack also asked if the ranger was wearing a body camera at the time — he wasn't, Leslie responded — and said the ranger told them to "get a hotel."

4. Whoops---

So basically if her pants were around her ankles when the Deputy showed up---and the Deputy saved her from an uncomfortable situation---one could say that Kelly was raping her?

I guess?

7. I had that thought also. She also said that GAWD intervened.

How she knew that the deputy was GAWD she did not say.

8. I love the part where tells the sheriff that she "is married to a minister."
