Oh, he has the right to make any claim he wants, but not to do so absent the consequences. Lying has consequences, and ignorance does too.
Read the transcript of the Clackamas County Commissioner's livestream I posted a link to and you'll see that there is evidence and reports that are being withheld from the public by corrupt and partisan officials. It wasn't just one deputy who was put on leave. A Captain in that Sheriff's county revealed the deputy was simply speaking out of turn, and that's why they're on leave, not because they were not correct.
The bureaucracy is keeping a lid on the evidence for political purposes.
This is exactly it. Thank you.
