Forget the corporate media dust-up over a Rand Paul supporter attacking a MoveOn.org activist. That incident pales in comparison to a story about the brother of Paul’s opponent in the race for Kentucky’s Senate seat, Jack Conway.
On Saturday, the Louisville Courier-Journal published a story about Conway’s brother, Matthew, who resigned from the Jefferson County, Kentucky, attorney’s office to enter private practice after he was tipped off by Louisville narcotics detectives twice in the past two years that he was under investigation for possible drug use or trafficking. Matthew C. Conway was an assistant commonwealth’s attorney, a position he still holds, when detectives tipped him off on a second drug-related investigation.
In a clear case of preferential treatment and a cover-up to protect Jack Conway, the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office decided in August that no charges would be filed against Matthew Conway or the narcotics detectives involved in tipping him off.
In addition, Jack Conway became involved in criminal behavior. According to R. G. Dunlap of the Louisville Courier-Journal, the Conway brothers conferred with an attorney about the investigation. “The lawyer, Bart Adams of Louisville, then met with Police Chief Robert White to discuss [narcotics detective] Carthan’s conduct, according to the records,” writes Dunlap.
Commonwealth’s Attorney David Stengel told the newspaper that he had reviewed all of the evidence gathered by police and was convinced that Conway was neither a drug user nor trafficker. Stengel told the newspaper that he concluded that Conway had done nothing wrong except to make a “well-intended but boneheaded statement” when he denied to police that he had been tipped off by narcotics detectives. Stengel said he decided not to discipline Conway for lying because “he went back and corrected that immediately,” in other words he was allowed to change his story.
Stengel accepted Conway’s “corrected account four days later, and after another witness advised him that he had told investigators a different story.”
Stengel is hardly a neutral party. In fact, he is a Jack Conway supporter. “According to Fec.gov, Mr. David Stengel has donated $500 to Jack Conway’s campaign in the past,” writes CapitalistBanner.com. “Do we really want a former Jack Conway donor overlooking this?” Or more pt the point, engaging in a cover-up as Jack Conway attempts to beat Rand Paul and become the next senator from Kentucky.
Louisville attorney Scott Roby is also as Conway supporter. Roby told Matthew Conway that the cops were investigating him for either drug use or trafficking, thus allowing him to avoid a police raid. LMPD Detective Scott Wilson had told Roby about the investigation. Conway and Wilson both attended St. Xavier High School at about the same time and are longtime acquaintances, according to the newspaper.
Scott Roby donated $1250 to the Conway campaign.
But it gets worse. It turns out that a Jack Conway supporter, businessman Charles Alexander, was the man who overheard cops talking about the Matthew Conway case in a downtown Louisville restaurant. The narcotics detectives described Matthew Conway as “dirty” (corrupt). Alexander called Jack Conway and informed him of the overheard conversation.
“According to Fec.gov, Charles Alexander is a $2400 donor to Jack Conway and a $4600 donor to Barack Obama, so there is little doubt Mr. Alexander was concerned about the troubling allegations,” notes CapitalistBanner.com.
Jack Conway and his supporters are involved in a cover-up and an attempt to obstruct justice, but this does not seem to be on the corporate media’s radar screen. Instead, we are harangued with absurd stories about Rand Paul, Aqua Buddha, and a fraternity prank invented by an anonymous woman.
Jack Conway is involved in a brazen attempt to cover-up a police investigation of his brother. Supporters of his political campaign facilitated obscuration of justice. Is this the sort of man the people of Kentucky want representing them in Washington?

“Conway Cover Up” Surges to #1 on Google Trends Days Before Kentucky Senate Vote

While the controlled media has been busy dirtying Rand Paul’s name in the lead up to the midterm elections, news of a real scandal has gone viral concerning his opponent Jack Conway in the Kentucky Senate race. Now, the term “Conway cover up” has reached #1 on Google’s hot trends, replacing the previous #1 search term, ‘9/11 cover-up,’ both of which were initiated during today’s broadcast of the Alex Jones Show. Perhaps this victory in the Infowar will force even the MSM lackeys to cover an admitted scandal concerning the cover-up of a drug investigation into Matt Conway, former prosecutor and brother of the candidate who is currently the Attorney General in Kentucky.
According to an expose in the Louisville Courier-Journal (who, by the way, didn’t politicize the event, leaving the Conways’ names out of the headline and leading paragraph), sitting Attorney General and Senate-hopeful Jack Conway was involved in warning Matt Conway, his brother and then a county prosecutor, that he was about to be raided in a drug investigation. Though no charges have been filed to date, Matt Conway was reportedly tipped off TWICE prior to investigations during a period of two years by Louisville narcotics detectives. And, there is reason to believe Jack Conway initiated the tip-off. Fox News, who has reported on the story, noted that “Matthew Conway was interviewed about the warning. He lied under oath, but then later came clean.”
Whatever the full story in the matter, and whether or not there is any evidence relating to the suspicions of drug involvement, this is a clear cover-up by Conway, and secondarily by the media who have ignored this substantial issue for eight months while attacking Rand Paul endlessly over petty accusations, such as those concerning the ‘Aqua Buddha’, which was at worst a frat party stunt in college grossly exaggerated and distorted in the media.
Rand Paul, who, like all of us, isn’t perfect, has proved to be an honorable candidate who supports sound money, ending the Fed and returning to the Constitution. Yet, he has been smeared and consistently portrayed as everything from a racist, to a phony and someone ‘trying to push drugs on children’– all without true cause. He was first attacked by the Karl Rove & Dick Cheney political machine in the primaries, then attacked by the George Soros-media and Obama/Democrat faction during the main race.
By contrast, the big sins and corruption of Jack Conway have been ignored, and it may cost the 2010 Kentucky seat during America’s worst financial crisis. The “Conway cover up” scandal encompasses real criminal activity and the very essence of the dark side of establishment power. In the deeply-entrenched establishment, we know cover-up and corruption is the standard operating procedure. That’s why it’s so important to get the Rand Paul-type candidates into office.
History shows that the sins of the establishment ranges from money laundering, to access and visas for drug dealers to direct involvement in drug cultivation, importation and especially political protection. Testimonial accounts have emerged concerning the CIA in Vietnam and Laos, the CIA’s Iran-Contra drug & weapons scandal, the Air America drug operation, the BCCI banking scandal, the investigation by the now-deceased journalist Gary Webb (an offshoot of Iran-Contra), the involvement of U.S. Soldiers in opium cultivation in Afghanistan, the Karzai-heroin connection and much, much more. It is equally important, therefore, to inject candidates like Rand Paul who will oppose the kind of foreign policy that allows this brand of corruption to become epidemic.
Why would Jack Conway cover-up a drug investigation into his brother, and protect him from charges? Whatever is going on in the Matt Conway-Jack Conway “cover-up”, it is a far graver issue than anything that has been said against Rand Paul. It is essential that voters understand the complexity and importance of this issue, and that this information get out to everyone so the media is forced to make it an issue BEFORE the election.
Constitutional supporters like the Daily Paul and brave Infowarriors everywhere helped get this issue out. Making it #1 on Google Trends is a major success in the attempt to make sure those voices are heard. Thank you, readers, for your assistance.
