An infographic regarding Michael O'Malley's Republican donors in 2024, including Jimmy Haslam, Tony George, Donzell Taylor (married to a Republican former lieutenant governor), Justin Herdman, and Ed Crawford (Trump's ambassador to Ireland), all of whom gave between $1000 and $10,000 in 2024.

A screenshot of a cleveland.com article discussing Dave Yost's indictment of Ramesh Patel, who had previously died. In relevant part, it reads: Cuyahoga Prosecutor Michael O’Malley said Wednesday that Patel died in December 2022. He said he’s “philosophically opposed” to indicting a dead man and that Yost should be too. “This is one of the greatest examples of prosecutorial overreach I have ever witnessed,” O’Malley said. “The practice of indicting the deceased is draconian. This is not how we would have handled this case in my office. I am calling on Ohio Attorney General David Yost to immediately dismiss this indictment.”
A screenshot of an Ideastream article that reads: The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's office declined to comment on the community perception that authorities are trying to "take down" Tolbert. "Your email speaks volumes about your journalistic integrity and the direction of your current story," Lexi Bauer, a spokesperson for County Prosecutor Mike O'Malley, wrote in an email. "We decline to comment for your obviously biased story, and we will let the facts speak for themselves in court. Perhaps you should, too."
A screenshot of a cleveland.com article about O'Malley's subordinates running for central committee, with multiple direct quotes from O'Malley included.
A screenshot of a Cleveland Scene article noting that some members of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party have taken issue with Michael O'Malley's suggestion that "safe" suburbs supported Matthew Ahn "simply because those areas aren't intimately familiar with public safety issues."
