READER SAYS THERE IS SEX SCANDAL IN LOCAL COUNTY JUDGE’S RACE

THE FEMALE'S NAME, THE LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER'S NAME WHO FILMED, THE AUTHOR OF
THE LETTER, AND WHERE THIS ALL HAPPENED
& WHO ELSE PARTICIPATED WILL BE WITHHELD

 
Dear Editor,
 
A local man still in a run-off for public office has been caught on video having sex on the hood of a car with a local female. Who knows if The Liberty Courier will show the video, but for legal purposes the video will be available. The man in the video is married as well as  the woman. Or at least she was married at the time, but they were not married to each other. Some people run for public office when most of us think they ought to be focusing purely on their private problems. This man is easily recognizable. He wants to be county judge now. His behavior could put media in an awkward position if he lived in the big city because they sometimes show these things. But in this rural county, we doubt any media will show pictures and the Houston news channels are unlikely do anything on Liberty County. I hope The Liberty Courier will decide  to post the video because of all the relentless attempts by the Knight campaign to imply all he does is play the fiddle for a band while we all know he is gossiping about Judge McNair's off time. It is their call.

As youcan see in the video xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx edited out xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
 
When elected officials have trouble in their private lives, some believe it is their business and their business only. President Bill Clinton was defended that way. He committed adultery and lied in a deposition and some believed that was nobody’s business but his and his wife’s. Those people were relentless in their political attacks on their opponents and then self righteous about their own behavior. As the chief law enforcement officer in the country, when Clinton deprived someone of the truth in their court proceedings, it became the nation’s business. The other thing, and maybe the most important, is Clinton potentially became an easy target for blackmail with his reckless behavior. It clearly deserved public scrutiny.

When Jay Knight put his name on the ballot, he opened himself up for public scrutiny for the same reasons. His campaign has made a big deal out of County Judge Craig McNair flying to Tennessee to see his daughters a handful of times. How dare this man be running around in bars on weekends point his finger at anybody else.

With the revelation of this video, I would say the Knight campaign’s strategy of trying to defeat a candidate by starting a negative campaign might dissuade others from doing the same. His opponent may not want to, but at some point, the rest of us may get sick of one unanswered accusation after another from someone who had no business running for office. It is kind of late in the campaign to suggest Jay Knight withdraw from the county judge’s race, but I hope The Liberty Courier or someone will call for him to do so. If he wins, I will make sure the others who participated in this same act are called out.

Thanks for posting this,

NAMEWITHHELD


Side Note: THE LIBERTY COURIER is NOT calling for Jay Knight to withdraw from the race as the letter suggest we consider. This letter is being posted because a video of a leud public act was filmed by law enforcement and charges should have,or could have been filed. While we are not interested in going through people's closets and their private behavior, this became a public matter when the individuals involved did not go to a priavte home or motel.
