"During the Democratic Primary, it was revealed that Morrison had an extramarital affair in 1998.[26] Morrison and his wife remained together despite the affair.[27] According to the Missoula Independent, the woman with whom he had an affair later married a man whom Morrison's office investigated. Unnamed former staffers reported to the Independent that they repeatedly advised Morrison to stay out of the case entirely to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest, but they felt that he had not.[28] The daily newspapers in Montana reported that Morrison's affair did not affect the outcome of the probe, and the individual investigated was convicted of fraud, sentenced to Federal prison, and ordered to repay defrauded investors $1 million. Morrison was not investigated for his conduct, and the case in question was handled by independent counsel hired by the department, Beth Baker, now an associate justice on the Montana Supreme Court. Baker stated that she was given broad leeway in how to proceed with the case.[26]"

"During the Democratic Primary, it was revealed that Morrison had an extramarital affair in 1998.[26] Morrison and his wife remained together despite the affair.[27] According to the Missoula Independent, the woman involved later married the principal of companies investigated by the state auditors office while Morrison was there. Former staffers reported to the Independent that they repeatedly advised Morrison to stay out of the case entirely to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest, but they felt that he had not.[28] Morrison's affair reportedly did not affect the outcome of the probe, and the individual investigated was convicted of fraud. The case in question was handled by outside attorney Beth Baker because of Morrison's relationship with the woman and others associated with companies. Baker said she was given significant discretion in handling the case.[26]"
for the following reasons:
* the penalties of the guy convicted of fraud aren't relevant to Morrison
* source indicates woman was not the only reason Morrison recused
* copying phrasing verbatim from source is copyright violation
* Baker's current position isn't particularly relevant -- readers can follow wikilink to get more information about her
* Existing phrasing longer than it needs to be

replies: text: Works for me, I had only done a quick copyedit of what was there without doing a close check of sources, this looks closer to the sources without the copyvio issues.  I may chop a bit more there.  Montanabw(talk) 17:25, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I am going to change the lead based on the following Wikipedia norm. If you look at the pages of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, and other top American politicians, and Montana politicians like Roy Brown (Montana politician), the lead generally refers to them as "an American politician", and not as "Democrat" or "Republican". So I am going to alter the lead to better reflect this. Jeremy112233 (talk) 20:06, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It also dawned on me that he is not currently a politician, so labelling him as a current Democrat is a bit off the mark. I did include the 2006 election at the bottom of the lead paragraph though. Jeremy112233 (talk) 20:10, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
