"May's office appears to have handled its investigation with rigor, and his ultimate conclusion is defensible" could have been the lead sentence in the lead paragraph, the last sentence in the last paragraph, and peppered throughout the editorial......but The Denver Post put in almost halfway in, surrounded it with innuendos and insinuations.....in an attempt to obscure the "fact" that, according to The Denver Post, "May's office appears to have handled its investigation with rigor, and his ultimate conclusion is defensible."

"But May's office appears to have handled its investigation with rigor, and his ultimate conclusion is defensible" appears to be the correct conclusion.
