Which probably explains why the supervisor was fired. Circular logic there Vince.
The only thing any of us "knows" at the moment is what the trooper said. The supervisor has speculated that he might have been fired because of his not acting on the trooper in a way the governor wanted. MIGHT. No proof, nada, zilch. A couple of recordings from folks in the Governors office asking about it, a couple of emails from folks commenting and asking about it (the trooper still working for the office).
Sad side note to you. The Governor can fire the supervisor for cause, which I believe was documented in this case - so we will have to wait and see on that won't we? My bet... just my thinking... they will eventually say that the supervisor was fired with just cause, and while they find that it could possibly be attributed to other factors, there is not enough evidence to conclude anything other than the reasons cited in the HR documentation filed by the Governors office. But, they will draw out the suspense as much as they can, have leaks suggesting that they might have evidence of other wrong-doing, etc... all to come down to nothing in the end.
But hey, keep those conspiracy theories coming.
As a note, they would probably have had a case if the Governor had ordered the trooper fired directly - since she has no direct supervisory capacity for him, that would have been an abuse.
You worry about this at night don't you Vince? Nightmares? Sleeplessness?
Sorry :)
