So we finally find out why the Chief of the Capitol police resigned.

Advertisements [?]

He put his son in law on the payroll. It's against the rules, but Chief Gainer said he didn't know that! Hmmmm.

Gainer said he and Darren Ohle had not known about the restrictions on hiring relatives when Ohle became an officer in 2003. There was never any attempt to conceal their ties, he said.

Friends and colleagues also said Gainer, 58, has grown frustrated over clashes with several members of Congress and top congressional staff members concerning security, administration and the handling of high-profile events.
