But the scandal began in 2013, when his wife, Dianne Bentley, became suspicious of the budding relationship.

In March 2014, according to the report, Dianne placed a recorder inside her purse and discovered that her husband had called Mason and declared his love for her — a minute after Dianne left the room.
Robert's efforts to dispose of the recordings led to many of the accusations that he misused funds. He later pleaded guilty to them.
On the night of his reelection in the 2014 gubernatorial race, Robert was convinced that his opponent had a copy of the recording and told Alabama Law Enforcement Secretary Spencer Collier to travel to Greenville to retrieve it, according to the report.
You’re missing about half the title.
Just took a look at both of them.
If you’re gonna cheat, aim high.
Geez.
That’s his wife. Given they were married 50 years and she wears +_ 70 pretty damn good I’d say she was majorly hot at 20...
But,to consider this from the political point of view we all know if this had been the Rat Governor of Vermont.....Washington...Nevada there's no way that he would have been driven from office.After all,to a Rat "it all depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is".
So he was stupid enough to make that call from home since his wife’s purse was laying around? Stupid!!!
Good shootin’, lady. Your ex is a sleazebag.
I think he was a lot more stupid for sleeping with another woman, then hiring her for some fake job and paying her $400,000. Stupid and corrupt.
um...I’m guessing letting Mason sleep in his boat house a lot, might have been a clue ?
“Hell hath no fury...”
Sounds like the modus operandi of Mark Sanford’s wife, Jenny.

There’s a wedding ring on Mason’s finger. Was she cheating on a husband?
Hell hath no fury...
Maybe I'm wrong -- I never watched the show.
So Rebekah, why the long face?
Yet another ping to this sad, sordid, salacious soap opera. Big sigh.
The cheating men had a similar modus operandi.
More so then their wives.
Or you know maybe he could have not used government resources to try to hide his affair.
Married politician bangs younger broad....stop press.
How come only Republican politicians seem to get any hassle for this ? Dummycrats include rapists and pedophiles yet there isn’t a fraction of the same attention
