RE: The Honey Trap

*******************************

I have enlightened numerous Alabamians who were previously unaware of Mike Pompeo’s list of Governors, including MeeMaw, friendly to Chyna. But those pictures of the Sec of State opened their eyes.

Some of the folks had heard of Merrill’s affair - not with the chamber of commerce woman in the pic - that became public knowledge last April. Just do a search for “John Merrill affair.” The al.com article reads like a soap opera script.

Bad optics.

Your will, my hands.

Sex, lies and the Alabama secretary of state: The fall of John Merrill

(excerpt)

For more than two years, John Merrill carried on an affair, secure in the assumption that his secret life was safe so long as the woman he slept with didn’t go public about it.

However, on April 6 a self-described “New Right” political blog published recordings of Cesaire McPherson speaking in explicit terms about her relationship with Merrill. It might have been as much a surprise to McPherson as it was to the secretary of state.

Those darn bloggers. Humblegunner affected most.
