Kentucky man impersonating cop breaks down door, shoots and kills homeowner in botched robbery. Gets convicted and imprisoned.
His family holds a $21,000 fundraiser for Republican Gov Matt Bevin, personally contribute another $4,000.
Bevin pardons killer. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Killer’s accomplice who stayed outside the house and didn’t shoot anyone - but whose family did not give Bevin any money - remains in prison.
The gov responds.
Even Mitch McConnell, who seems to have no scruples left at all when it comes to the law, is critical.

'Matt Bevin can rot in hell': Family of murder victim reacts to pardon of donors' relative courier-journal.com/story/news/pol… via ⁦@courierjournal⁩
@courierjournal LATEST: Democratic Sen. @MorganMcGarvey calls for incoming AG Daniel Cameron to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Bevin's pardon of Patrick Baker, while GOP Sen. Chris McDaniel wants legislation limiting governors' veto power: courier-journal.com/story/news/pol…
@courierjournal @MorganMcGarvey The defense attys for the co-defendants in the case who are still in jail (& from poorer families & didn't pull trigger) say "It's very clear to me that this pardon was purchased...my client doesn't have a wealthy family so he did not receive a pardon." courier-journal.com/story/news/pol…

#HUGE: Democrat Andy Beshear is the APPARENT WINNER of KY Governor race!

Republican Gov. Matt Bevin is one of the worst governors in the country.

Trump, McConnell, and Rand Paul ALL put their weight behind him last night.

And Bevin STILL lost in a state that Trump won by 30%!
#FTR: Just last night, Trump made clear what a potential loss in Kentucky would mean for him and the Republican party.

He'll soon claim the opposite.

DON'T let him forget it...

#PASTBLAST: My FIRST thread on Gov. Matt Bevin, who I've tracked since...

I may have misspelled his name back then, but it quickly became clear that he was ACTIVELY working against the interests of the people of KY in every way imaginable.

Good riddance!

Moscow Mitch: When Mitch McConnell voted to lift sanctions on one of Oleg Deripaska’s companies, Rusal, he told us all that it had nothing at all to do with a project the company was getting involved with in Kentucky.
But Politico tells us that two of McConnell’s former aides, including one who has been described as being “like a son” to the treason turtle, were involved in lobbying for the company.
Kentucky taxpayers are being forced into business with Rusal as the Republican Gov. Matt Bevin (who is up for re-election this year) invested $15 million in taxpayer dollars in his friend’s rolling aluminum plant before the Russians put in another $200 million.

Oh look! Here’s Julie Griggs, @JessicaHuseman’s other supposedly “Democratic” source posing at a fundraiser for REPUBLICAN governor Matt Bevin! Before these attacks on Democrat Grimes (based on info from Griggs), Grimes was a top contender for governor of KY. 1/
Jared Dearing is @JessicaHuseman’s other Democratic (and thus supposedly not politically motivated) source in the assault on KY’s Democratic Secretary of State, Alison Grimes. 2/
When Dearing made his complaint against Grimes, the top two Democratic contenders for KY governor were Grimes & Andy Beshear whose father (then governor Steve Beshear) had pardoned Dearing's father in 2015. courier-journal.com/story/news/201… 3/

.@JessicaHuseman continues to focus on the conflict of interest involving the cyber firm the Democratic SOS in KY hired to audit KY’s insecure election system, while ignoring the conflict involving KY’s actual voting machine vendor and the GOP. This is what concerned me. 1/
.@JessicaHuseman’s apparent failure to vet Jared Dearing, who filed the complaint against Alison Grimes (which provided the basis for Huseman’s multi-part series against Grimes) also concerned me. Huseman is building her career by destroying Grimes’s. 2/
Alison Grimes is the Democratic Secretary of State of Kentucky. She is KY’s top election official. But Dearing joined w/ the GOP to strip her of her powers. This is Mitch McConnell’s state. 3/

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
