Republican ex-governor Matt Bevin left the state of Kentucky fuming. |
Former Kentucky governor Matt Bevin was always a sleazebag. He proved to the Commonwealth that he's an amoral jackass who not care for those he took an oath of office to protect.
Bevin left Frankfort holding a container of gasoline and a lighter. He wanted to burn the governor's home down and make sure he left a stain on the state.
Bevin on his way out pardoned hundreds of interns. Some of the picks were controversial. Because of those pardons, the feds are looking into whether Bevin committed criminal acts.
The Louisville Courier Journal, citing two sources said that on late Monday that an FBI agent had spoken to a state representative about the investigation into Bevin's pardons.
State rep. Chris Harris, who is a Democratic lawmaker called for an investigation into the ex-governor.
Bevin who lost his re-election bid last month, has come under scrutiny for issuing more than 600 pardons and sentence reductions since the election loss. Among Bevin's pardons were a convicted child rapist and a man convicted of killing his parents.
Two of Bevin's pardons were controversial. The families of these individuals were donors to his reelection. |
Baker's family raised $21,500 at a political fundraiser last year for Bevin and Baker's brother and sister gave $4,000 to Bevin's re-election campaign. Bevin wrote in the pardon that Baker's "drug addictions" led him to fall in with the wrong people and evidence against Baker was "sketchy at best."
He also pardoned sexual predator Micah Schoettle, who was served for rape, sodomy and other sexual crimes. He was serving a 23-year bid and was released to the public. The victim told the law that she was nine when she faced abuse. This lasted until she turned 12 years old.
Schoettle's mother Deborah Jo Durr served two terms on the Kentucky Legislative Ethics Commission. Schoettle's step-father was a prominent businessman who co-founded the Bank of Kentucky.
R.C. Durr was a big bundler for Bevin. He has a construction company that built hundreds of miles of state highways for the Commonwealth.
