The investigation into the Osceola County clerk of courts has found no criminal wrongdoing by his office.
Armando Ramirez had faced several allegations of illegal activity, including claims he promised to hire someone in exchange for campaign donations.
The FDLE's investigation is outlined in a 25-page report, and State Attorney Jeff Ashton says there isn't enough evidence in the report to file criminal charges.
"I never had any doubt that I was going to be vindicated," said Ramirez.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigated four allegations against Ramirez. Two claimed he promised people jobs in exchange for campaign donations, including Richard Martin, who donated $500 to Ramirez's campaign in exchange for a position at the clerk's office.
But Ramirez never hired him. A review of emails couldn't confirm that Ramirez ever promised Martin a job, and Ramirez has repeatedly denied the allegations.
"Some of the human emotion that occurred among the accusers was jealousy and envy," Ramirez claimed.
Another allegation centered on how Ramirez's transition team terminated employees weeks before he took office. But the investigation found that was not illegal, because the effective termination date was the day Ramirez officially became clerk of the circuit court.
The other part of the investigation focused on accusations that he constantly reminded his staff not to send emails because they would become public record, and that Ramirez even told one former employee to work from her home computer.
Again, Ramirez denied ever saying that.
"These allegations are completely false," he said. "I'm aware that if I try to conduct public business on my personal computer or my personal email, I am aware it becomes public record."
Ashton told Ramirez while there wasn't enough evidence at this time to pursue criminal charges, he believes Ramirez and his staff should do need more training in public records.
