"SNIP..........


Now the Washington Post is reporting on new alarming details outlining just how far some Roy Moore supporters were willing to go to help him win, including an attempt to bribe the attorney representing one of Roy Moore’s accusers.

They asked lawyer Eddie Sexton to drop the woman as a client and say publicly that he did not believe her. The damaging statement would be given to Breitbart News, then run by former White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon.

In exchange, Sexton said in recent interviews, the men offered to pay him $10,000 and promised to introduce him to Bannon and others in the nation’s capital. Parts of Sexton’s account are supported by recorded phone conversations, text messages and people in whom he confided at the time.


The Moore supporters, Gary Lantrip and Bert Davi, wanted Sexton to discredit his client and the other women, creating a “cloud” on the issue for voters.
