Windham Cochair Selectman Ross Mcleod V Corey Lewandoski

Before Trump Campaign, Corey Lewandowski Rode Herd on a Town’s Leaders

To Ross McLeod, a prosecutor and selectman in the town of Windham, N.H., it was a harmless hobby: running a small fantasy football league with a handful of friends and a pot of around $200 a year.

But when a local activist named Corey Lewandowski discovered Mr. McLeod sometimes did this during work hours, using his office email, he took the ball and ran with it.

“Mr. McLeod is using county resources to engage in some type of gambling ring,” he wrote to Mr. McLeod’s boss at the prosecutor’s office.“We are prepared to call for his immediate termination and prosecution for this illegal activity.”

He also called the New Hampshire attorney general’s office, noting that Mr. McLeod’s emails, which he had obtained through a public records request, also included talk of local politics, another potential no-no. It blossomed into Windham’s version of an email scandal, becoming an issue in Mr. McLeod’s re-election campaign, costing him his job as a prosecutor and making him the subject of an eight-month criminal investigation.

Today, Mr. Lewandowski, 42, is the manager of Donald J. Trump’s stampeding bid for the Republican presidential nomination, with an in-your-face manner that often mirrors that of the candidate. Though Mr. Lewandowski’s role in the campaign has become somewhat shaky of late, his boss has often praised his dedication, including the time he went into a crowd to confront a protester at a rally and was accused by a reporter of yanking her by the arm while she was trying to interview Mr. Trump in Jupiter, Fla. (On Thursday, the Palm Beach County state attorney said Mr. Lewandowski would not be prosecuted for the incident.)

But it was in Windham, a well-off suburb of 13,800 people north of Boston, that Mr. Lewandowski honed his insurgent style of politics, making himself the town’s most outspoken watchdog and agitator.

He scolded elected officials who he believed had lost their way, once reading some of their tax bills aloud as he criticized the costs of a 2012 campaign visit by President Obama. He used open records laws to unearth the emails of Mr. McLeod, a Democrat. He conducted his own audit of Windham’s finances going back five years.

He entered a race for town treasurer against the longtime incumbent, an 80-year-old Republican who usually ran unopposed, saying that if taxpayers only knew how their money was really being spent, they would “revolt.”

 

Voters did not embrace his style, either. The incumbent treasurer, who was planning to retire, ran again to stop Mr. Lewandowski from winning the post and soundly defeated him, 1,941 votes to 714.

 

Mr. Breton, a selectman who supported the review, credits Mr. Lewandowski’s efforts with saving the town money on insurance, though others said the changes he suggested were already in progress.

That audit also gave Mr. Lewandowski ammunition when he announced his candidacy for treasurer in January 2012. In an interview with the Windham Patch, a local news website, Mr. Lewandowski, who said he would donate the $2,500 stipend that comes with the post, spoke of something amiss in the town’s books. “I started to look some more at it and said, jeez, where’s the town treasurer in all of this,” he said.

The incumbent, Bob Skinner, died in 2015, but his daughter Pamela said in an interview last week that the race left her with a bad feeling about Mr. Lewandowski.

“He never struck me as a nice guy,” Ms. Skinner, a Republican who also serves in local government, said.

Bet they rigged this election against Corey

AG'S office: McLeod probe over

WINDHAM — A state investigation of Selectman Ross McLeod is over and the attorney general won’t bring charges against him.

 

Attorney General Michael Delaney announced his office completed its investigation of the former assistant county prosecutor on allegations of illegal gambling, electioneering and tampering with witnesses and informants.

 

“After a review of the evidence collected over the course of this investigation, the New Hampshire Department of Justice has concluded that no charges will be brought against attorney McLeod.”

 

Associate Attorney General Jane E. Young, who led the investigation, said yesterday the matter was fully investigated and the decision not to bring charges was based on the totality of the probe.

 

“It was based on the facts of this case,” Young said.

 

While emails among McLeod and his friends discussed a fantasy football league, Young said prosecutors would have had to prove in court that money changed hands within one year’s time to obtain a misdemeanor conviction.

 

McLeod resigned as assistant Hillsborough County prosecutor when allegations of misconduct arose in February, but within days he attempted to withdraw that resignation to fight for his job. County Attorney Dennis Hogan refused to let him.

 

McLeod’s troubles started when town political activist Corey Lewandowski requested copies of McLeod’s county work emails under the state’s Right-to-Know Law and found McLeod corresponding about the fantasy football league and town politics.

 

McLeod denied any wrongdoing from the outset and blamed “a vindictive squabble initiated by people in town.”

 

Lewandowski has been allied with political rivals of McLeod.

 

Hogan requested the attorney general look into the matter.

 

Voters passed judgment on McLeod early, re-electing him in March while the investigation unfolded. Lewandowski was dealt a loss in the town treasurer’s race in the same election.

 

Town residents publicly debated the issue throughout the year on message boards and websites.

 

McLeod supporters maintained it was ridiculous he would be investigated over a fantasy football league. Critics said a prosecutor who might have to investigate illegal gaming in his duties must himself be held to a high standard.

 

McLeod got a boost from Selectman Kathleen DiFruscia when DiFruscia and her husband, Tony, put McLeod to work at their Massachusetts law firm in May.

 

The case then took an unexpected turn in July when investigators from the attorney general’s office searched McLeod’s home and vehicles, seizing electronics.

 

Anaffidavit applying for the search warrant said there was probable cause to believe McLeod committed the crime of witness tampering by attempting to get others in the league to withhold information.
