As part of his deal, Hubbard will cooperate with state and federal prosecutors investigating public corruption by Governor Robert Bentley, former governor Bob Riley, and Senate President Del Marsh.
Our Facebook news team first reported on April 17, 2016, that early "street" reports of the deal had been confirmed, including the 18-month sentence.TheMeck.blogspot.com reported additional details of Hubbard's deal in its story.
The Hubbard deal will be publicly announced after the legislature adjourns. The plea deal will be announced in open court on or before the start of Hubbard's scheduled May 16, 2016, criminal trial.
Investigators are also looking into threatening statements made by State Representative Alvin Holmes (D-Montgomery) to fellow legislators last week to determine whether these statements rose to the level of criminal "extortion" under state law. Holmes threatened to "out" legislators who are engaging in extra-marital affairs if they voted in favor of the House's impeachment resolution against Bentley. Investigators believe Holmes may have crossed the line with his threat.

Hell Hath No Fury Like Voters Scorned: Fallout from Alabama’s “Human Shield” Legislature - By Donald V. Watkins - Voters are demanding Bentley’s removal by all lawful means necessary. The pro-Bentley forces are not hearing them or respecting their wishes. This rejection is making voters even more frustrated than they were with Bentley’s betrayal of the public’s trust. The “human shields” legislators are betraying this trust as well. They have become after-the-fact accomplices to Bentley’s crimes. Voters are angry that their legislators are not stepping up to the plate.
