Steve Simpson tried to defend getting Ruble out of jail once before...

Let's all not forget his comments on the Sid Salter Supertalk show on 7/21/10:

Salter: Alright. Let’s look at this from another angle. What about those that complain that even from appearances sake that there was something wrong with the commissioner of public safety picking up someone who had been charged with domestic violence. How do you respond to that?

Simpson: I guess my response to that is would it make a difference if it had been a speeding ticket or a traffic violation or even a DUI or if it had been for a old fine, is it the domestic violence that gives people the trouble or that a lifelong friend of thirty years called me in a time of need and I simply didn’t, call down there and went and got him.

Really? Equating domestic violence with a speeding ticket?!?

Video of Steve Simpson freeing a wife beater against judge's order makes it to YouTube

Here's the link to the video of Republican Attorney General nominee Stephen Simpson springing his buddy from jail early.  My favorite part?  I think it's the hearty handshake and the backslapping John Ruble gets as he's released.  Released from being jailed for beating his wife.

Here are previous Simpson-Ruble stories: The early release, the hidden campaign contribution, and Ruble getting arrested the night of a Simpson fundraiser for AGAIN beating his wife.

Steve Simpson's old pal John Ruble comes through with some cash

Looks like Steve Simpson's buddy John Ruble (you know, the one arrested for domestic violence that Simpson sprung from jail without a judge's order or bail) is repaying Simpson for his efforts by hosting a fundraiser for him. You may not know that immediately, though, because you'd be looking for the name "John Ruble" on the invite, and it's not there. Instead, Ruble is giving the money through his company, Jadot Construction.

Here's Jadot Construction's Certificate of Formation, showing Ruble as the manager and registered agent:
