The investigative report, compiled in 2016 by the district attorney at the time, Michael Guest, laid out evidence that Sheriff Bailey had duped the prosecutor’s office and potentially violated state law on fraud, a felony that carries up to five years in prison.”

“Mr. Guest, now a U.S. congressman and chairman of the House Committee on Ethics, decided he could not pursue the case further because of conflicts of interest, including his years long friendship with the sheriff.”

    This is the same sheriff whose department had a 5 man hit squad that tortured two black men physically and sexual after breaking into their house illegally. They then shot one of them in the mouth, and covered it all up while planting a gun at the scence. The sheriff was just shocked, shocked! by this, and is of course refusing to resign.
