Multiple sources have confirmed to our Facebook news team that Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange has agreed to give Governor Robert Bentley and his married lover, Rebekah Caldwell Mason, a prosecutorial "pass" on state public corruption and ethics violation charges in exchange for an appointment to the U.S. senate seat being vacated by Jeff Sessions upon his confirmation as U.S. Attorney General. The sellout of Alabama citizens who were seeking criminal justice in the Bentley-Mason "sex for power" scandal is now complete.
We have to give the Governor credit for one thing: Robert Bentley truly loves Rebekah Mason. He traded his wife of 50 years for Rebekah; he destroyed family ties with his children for Rebekah; he abandoned every true friend in his life, including Paul Bryant, Jr., for Rebekah; he sacrificed his church membership in Tuscaloosa for Rebekah; he betrayed loyal employees like Seth Hammett, Spencer Collier, and Wendall Ray Lewis for Rebekah; he used tax dollars and a high-paying job in the Governor's office to get Rebekah's husband, Jon Mason, to turn his head away from the embarrassing "sex for power" scandal involving his wife; he paid Rebekah with "dark money" from a non-profit that was established to help Rebekah prosper; he established a secret safe deposit box to which only Rebekah and the Governor had keys; he romanced Rebekah at exotic ports of call and in a fashion reserved for billionaires, courtesy of Alabama taxpayers and campaign donors; he used disposable "burner" cell phones to communicate with Rebekah; he used campaign funds to pay for Rebekah to fly on private jets to the same destinations where he was traveling; he split with longtime friend and personal accountant Mike Echols over Echols' refusal to break state campaign laws to pay Rebekah; he lined up consulting jobs for Rebekah and provided her with office space inside the Governor's office for Rebekah to carry on her private business interests; he paid Rebekah's criminal lawyers with his leftover campaign funds; and he bought Luther Strange's loyalty and a prosecutorial "pass" on state criminal charges with a simple commitment to appoint Strange to Jeff Sessions' senate seat.
Say what you will about Robert Bentley, but the Governor has demonstrated his true love for Rebekah.
As for Bentley's use of his campaign funds to pay Rebekah's legal fees relating to the state and federal criminal investigations, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill says this expenditure is not permissible under the state's election laws. In fact, this expenditure would classify as a Class B felony. Read it here: http://www.wsfa.com/…/secretary-of-state-gov-bentley-violat…
We will have more on the Robert Bentley-Luther Strange sellout very soon. This story is developing rapidly. Stay tuned.
