It is a shakedown.
Someone powerful wants something from the Attorney General. If he gives it to him, this becomes a love fest. If not, they bash him in an election year.
AG Wilson will cave and give them what they want. He is running for governor and he will not let anything harm that effort.

You may be right. Since Wilson OK’d about $75M in attorneys’ fees for his old firm on that nuclear waste case that in no way involved enough work to even justify a $2M fee, I’m guessing somebody in the Senate wants an AG case assignment of similar lucrative qualities. That being said, anyone running a large state agency for over 14 years can get dinged on some non-core mission issue like procurement, or some HR decision, or some other rather tangential issue. If it’s truly peanuts, then Wilson should stand his ground…if he folds, then it tells us alot about his true character.
