FRANKFORT After the May 2016 Democratic primary in Pike County, the Kentucky attorney general’s office built a felony case against a private detective, Keith Justice, who confronted voters at their homes, followed them in their vehicles and interfered with poll workers inside the Phelps precinct. On the ballot that day was a hotly contested race involving his client, state Senate Democratic Leader Ray Jones of Pikeville.

One poll worker said she was so upset by Justice’s aggressive questions about alleged voter fraud that she had to take her heart medicine. Others cried. That night, more than two hours after polls closed, Pike County officials at the courthouse wondered why they hadn’t heard from the Phelps precinct and couldn’t reach the workers by telephone, according to the attorney general’s investigative case file, recently obtained by the Herald-Leader.

...

What the attorney general’s office didn’t do is have a conversation with Jones, who was Justice’s employer when he committed his crimes. According to the private detective, Jones paid him to conduct surveillance in the remote communities of eastern Pike County in the days leading up to the Democratic primary. Jones was challenged in that primary by Glenn Martin Hammond, a fellow Pikeville lawyer, whom Jones defeated.

Nothing to see here. Move along. Just business as usual in the land of Paul Patton.

How come the Kentucky AG office can create an investigation on a guy who tried to intimidate people at a polling station but not try to change or stop their vote, when the Black Panthers did the same thing for Obama and nothing was ultimately done when a default judgment was overruled by two of the federal AG line superiors, Loretta King, who was acting Assistant Attorney General, and Steve Rosenbaum, Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General?

A lot of snowflakes among the Democrat poll workers in Kentucky, apparently.

This is a bit like filing charges against a contract killer, but not against the person who setup the contract with the killer.

Why didn’t the poll workers call the cops?

Hiding behind a hireling. Get a lawyer to do your dirtywork or if that is not possible get someone to hire a private investigator to intimidate your opponent and their supporters. Fusion GPS and The Podesta brothers have learned this from the gaystapo.
