RoKita once again finds himself in trouble: Report

The Journal Gazette’s opinion piece criticizes Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita for his ongoing ethical misconduct and lack of professionalism. The Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission accuses Rokita of making false statements and engaging in dishonest behavior, particularly after he initially accepted responsibility for misconduct related to his public comments on an investigation but later denied wrongdoing.

The article highlights a pattern of ethical violations, including a prior public reprimand, and questions whether Rokita is fit to serve as the state’s top legal officer. His tenure has been marked by partisan grandstanding and legal overreach, eroding public trust in the attorney general’s office. The piece urges the Indiana Supreme Court to hold Rokita accountable and warns that failing to do so will further damage the credibility of the office. While acknowledging positive work done by the attorney general’s office in protecting renters, the editorial argues that Rokita’s arrogance and ethical failures should concern all Hoosiers, even his supporters.
