Rebekah Mason Acknowledges Criminal Investigation - Donald V. Watkins - Today, Governor Bentley stands toe-to-toe with drug dealers, mafia bosses, pimps, third-world dictators, and other despots who use disposable "burner" cell phones, personal couriers, money laundering schemes, a web of deception, and secret safe deposit boxes to run his criminal enterprise. Like other hardcore criminals in this racketeering category, Bentley had a mistress on the side.

Rebekah Mason Acknowledges Criminal Investigation

Yesterday, attorneys for Rebekah Mason publicly acknowledged in a court filing what our Facebook news team first reported in April 2016 – Rebekah and Governor Robert Bentley are the targets of a federal criminal probe into their racketeering and public corruption activities. What was once a torrid love affair between Bentley and Rebekah is now a game of survival for each lover.
Bentley, 73, and Mason, 44, are expected to be criminally charged by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for using Bentley's position as governor to execute a wide ranging racketeering conspiracy involving wire and mail fraud, tax fraud, bribery, money laundering, the unauthorized use of the federal National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and the Law Enforcement Tactical System (LETS) databases, and related criminal charges.
Bentley's criminal case is supervised by the DOJ's Public Integrity Section in Washington, which oversees the federal effort to combat corruption through the prosecution of elected and appointed public officials at all levels of government. DOJ prosecutors and investigators are working on the case in conjunction with the U. S. Attorney's Office in Atlanta.
Federal investigators are aggressively probing the couple's racketeering enterprise with an eye toward expediting the initiation of criminal charges against Bentley, Mason, and other co-conspirators. The governor and his accomplices are staring down the barrel of a criminal indictment that is expected to set a record for the number of felony charges in a single federal criminal case. Bentley has been identified as the "kingpin" of the couple's racketeering enterprise.
Bentley and Mason are well aware of their status as targets of the federal criminal investigation. This is why Mason formally requested a state court in Montgomery to place a hold on a wrongful termination case filed by Spencer Collier, the former head of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA). In March 2016, Collier publicly confirmed the Bentley-Mason "sex for power" affair. Collier has also confirmed that Bentley ordered him to use the NCIC and LETS databases to impermissibly target and harass online journalists Roger Alan Shuler and me, which Collier refused to do.
Last month, Bentley and Mason lost their protective law enforcement shield after the DOJ removed Montgomery U.S. Attorney George Beck, Jr., and his staff from all aspects of the federal investigation. Beck was compromised in this probe because David Byrne, who has served as Bentley's chief legal advisor and consigliere since 2012, completely controlled Beck's actions as a federal prosecutor.
Our Facebook news team has confirmed that federal grand jury subpoenas have been served on former gubernatorial staffers, former members of the governor' executive security detail, business associates of Bentley and the Masons, former campaign officials and contributors, "dark money" donors, recipients of Serve Alabama funds administered by Jonathan Mason, and several financial institutions.
The federal criminal probe is tracking the Bentley-Mason "sex for power" and public corruption scandal that was detailed in our exclusive "Forbidden Love" and "Executive Betrayal" series of articles. These articles were published on this Facebook page and theMeck.Blogspot.com from September 4, 2015, to October 2, 2015.
Gubernatorial staffers who tried to reign in or stop Bentley's racketeering and public corruption schemes were chastised by the governor and, in some cases, fired and later smeared.
Investigators have confirmed that Bentley and Rebekah were running an ongoing criminal enterprise straight out of the governor's office, and used state and federal tax dollars and state resources in the process.
The two lovers did not stop at trading power for sex. They also split cash that Rebekah earned as a "consultant" who could provide campaign contributors, "dark money" donors, and other third parties with direct access to the governor. Prosecutors believe that some of this cash was stashed away in a secret bank safe deposit box that only Bentley and Rebekah could access.
Today, Governor Bentley stands toe-to-toe with drug dealers, mafia bosses, pimps, third-world dictators, and other despots who use disposable "burner" cell phones, personal couriers, money laundering schemes, a web of deception, and secret safe deposit boxes to run his criminal enterprise. Like other hardcore criminals in this racketeering category, Bentley had a mistress on the side.
Bentley lavished Rebekah Mason, who is a married mother of three children, with Las Vegas concerts, romantic dinners at the White House and the secluded Winton Blount Mansion in Montgomery, VIP treatment at big-time football games, out-of-state trips for vacationing and shopping, and other exotic experiences, all of which were courtesy of taxpayers, campaign contributors, and "dark money" donors.
Despite a mountain of evidence that Bentley personally directed and/or approved specific acts of public corruption, the governor has refused to resign. Instead, Bentley has blamed others for his criminal conduct, especially departing staff members.
Prosecutors know that Bentley has fallen into a psychotic state of mind where he is erratic, delusional, angry, and paranoid. Bentley is desperately holding on to the only thing he has left --- the power and prestige of the governor's office. The pressure from his growing "sex for power" and public corruption scandal with Rebekah Mason has taken a heavy psychological and emotional toll on Bentley and has also paralyzed state government.
Federal prosecutors realize that they must act quickly and do so before Bentley can inflict further irreparable damage upon the state of Alabama. Prosecutors may, or may not, allow Bentley the courtesy of voluntarily surrendering after he is indicted. Bentley's arrogant and defiant attitude may have cost him this voluntary surrender option.
