You sound as though you know more details about this incident than the rest of us. What exactly did he do?
He ran Massey Energy for ten years. During his tenure the company was repeatedly cited for “serious” and unrepentant safety violations. He was indicted for a lot of this but managed to beat the rap on the most serious charges. A lot of his underlings have been less fortunate. His company’s massive criminal safety violations got 29 miners killed in the Upper Big Branch Mine disaster. This man is an amoral monster. Morally he is a mass murderer. If Blankenship somehow manages to win the nomination then we need to rally behind the Dimocrat. There are worse things than loosing an election.
Obama declared war on coal, targeted conservative CEO Blankenship, sent inspector goons in with a mission to create a ruckus. They cut the oxygen in half and tried to blame the workers. When that didn’t work out, they railroaded Blankenship to prison who finally beat the fake charges.
See Lurkinanloomin part one post. Better yet here it is at the time Blankenship clears his name.

The other posters ranting against Blankenship have their butt fudge packed hard. They are not credible. The only credible concern is that the Manchin democrat machine and the McConnell treachery will torpedo Blankenship but WVA voters may prevent that because they know Blankenship is of their DNA; they bond to him because he knows his stuff regardless if he got railroaded like Dinesh D’Souza.
Trump is justifiably concerned. He can’t have a repeat of Roy Moore.
My take is that Jenkins, Morrisey ain’t got the right stuff in them. They will lose to Manchin. Morrisey has a glimmer of light but it’s not solid and it’s not bright. Jenkins, fuggedaboudit.
