More lewd details about affair emerge in new bombshell lawsuit against Gov. Robert Bentley

A new lawsuit filed on Wednesday against Gov. Robert Bentley and his alleged mistress and former top political aide, Rebekah Mason, reveal new details about the Governor and Mason’s alleged affair and Bentley’s alleged misuse of State funds to facilitate that affair.

Wendall Ray Lewis, the former Head of the Governor’s Security Detail and Chief of the Office of Dignitary Protection, filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Governor and Mason — alleging the pair defamed him, pushed him into early, involuntary retirement and interfered with job opportunities after Lewis left State government.

Lewis — joining a chorus of other former Bentley staffers and insiders, including former ALEA Secretary Spencer Collier — now alleges that Bentley maintained a physical affair with Mason, not just the emotional affair the Governor claims.

“Governor Robert Bentley had a physical and sexual affair with Defendant Mason,” Lewis said in his lawsuit. He said the Governor confirmed the physical affair, in person, several times, to him. Lewis and others, including top staffers and Business Council of Alabama head Bill O’Conner, pleaded with the Governor to end the affair several times as well, but “none of them succeeded,” according to the lawsuit.

Alabama taxpayers were funding part of his affair when he used state money while with his mistress.

if you're paying for food, transportation, and lodging for your wife, why not your girlfriend or mistress?

In fact, ACEGOV, the dark money group that paid her salary, has taken down its Web site and tried to disappear from public view. According to our local TV station, it may have been effectively moribund for some time: http://whnt.com/2016/09/13/pulling-back-the-curtain-on-governor-bentleys-dark-money-organization/
