Arizona Attorney General Tom "Sanctity Of Marriage" Horne Exposed As Adulterer
Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne, one of the state's most vocal opponents of same-sex partner rights, has been exposed (by the FBI, no less) as an adulterer.
Tom Horne caused more than $1,000 worth of damage when he clipped another car in a parking garage and just drove off, in order, according to FBI agents, to conceal an affair he was having with his passenger. Phoenix police records obtained Tuesday include detailed witness accounts by FBI agents who were following Horne, Arizona's attorney general, on March 27 as part of a campaign finance investigation. They said they watched him back his borrowed vehicle into a white Range Rover in the parking garage of a Phoenix residential complex. FBI agents said that after the fender-bender, Horne and the woman, since identified as Carmen Chenal, who works for Horne, walked off and entered the residential area of the complex where Chenal lives.
In August, Horne filed a lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court, demanding that Arizona be allowed to repeal domestic partners insurance for state employees. In his suit, Horne claimed that rescinding benefits for gay employees would be good for Arizona tourism because doing so "furthers the States interest in promoting marriage." In addition to the investigation into Horne's campaign finances, there are charges that the employee he's been adulterously fucking was hired despite having no qualifications for the job.

Now, the ABC15 Investigators have obtained new documents that contain some surprising details.
The documents are part of an investigative report that may be shifting the focus of public attention from the allegations of Horne campaign violations to questions about a romantic midday rendezvous.
...
Multiple sources told us, Horne and Chenal have carried on a romantic relationship for years, dating back to when he hired her at the Arizona Department of Education.
...
But the ABC15 Investigators assembled this chronology:
In 2005, Carmen Chenal lost her law license after repeated violations of state bar regulations.
In 2006, just a few months after losing her license to practice law, Chenal is hired by Horne to work for him at the Arizona Department of Education.
In November 2010, Horne was elected Arizona Attorney General and hired Chenal despite the fact that she did not have a law license.
In late 2010 Horne testified in an effort to help Chenal get her law license back.
In March of 2011 Chenal is reinstated and gets her law license back.
In July 2011 Horne launches an internal investigation to find out who is leaking information to the press about Carmen Chenal.
In 2011 Horne promoted Chenal and gave her a job paying $108,000.00.
One of Chenals new responsibilities is handling international extraditions even though court records show she had no extradition law training or experience.
