HACK JOBS ARE NEVER ON LEVEL
Rookie mistake by new troopers
Perhaps because they haven’t been on the job all that long, Troopers Ryan Sceviour and Ali Rei made a rookie mistake.
They thought everything was on the level. They believed that a judge’s daughter deserved no special treatment, that she should be treated just like anyone else driving three times over the legal alcohol limit with a heroin kit in her car.
In the hackerama, that kind of attitude — that a judge’s kid can be arrested like anyone else — is nothing less than blasphemy. The hacks’ motto is, “Do you know who I am?”
When the two troopers decided to treat the judge’s daughter as if she was not a member of a privileged caste, they had to be punished. Not the judge’s accused drunken driving daughter, but the cops who stopped her on Interstate 190.
“The problem,” the troopers’ lawyer Lenny Kesten said last night, “is when you decide you’re gonna come down on the troopers for treating a connected person as if she wasn’t. That’s what the troopers were punished for. Don’t they know that they’re not supposed to treat connected people like they do anybody else?”
We still don’t know who called state police Col. Richard McKeon to put the fix in for the judge’s daughter, Alli Bibaud. The judge, Timothy “Let ’em Go” Bibaud, comes out of the Worcester district attorney’s office. So does the now “retired” colonel, McKeon. The colonel’s boss, David Bennett, the secretary of public safety, is likewise a Worcester DA’s office hack. Bennett’s $153,044-a-year undersecretary is Jennifer Queally.
Would you care to guess where Jennifer Queally used to work? That’s right, the DA’s office. Would you like to guess which two statewide officeholders Queally gave a total of $2,000 to? That’s right, Gov. Charlie Baker and Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito.
And then there’s the judge’s daughter — she used to work in the DA’s office too. You ask, how did someone who now admits to being a junkie get hired by the district attorney?
Two words: nationwide search.
In the kleptocracy that is Massachusetts, a drug problem is never an impediment to a judge’s kid getting hired by the local district attorney. Remember the probation department scandal — multiple judges were outed for getting assorted hack jobs for their worthless offspring.
The case I remember best was the son of Judge Mark Lawton. Judge Lawton’s boy was fired by the DA of Plymouth County, so they got him a new hack job, in the probation department, even though he was sweating profusely and his hands were shaking during his job interview. That was court testimony.
Alli Bibaud had a similar career trajectory.
She went from the DA’s hack holding pen to an even more worthless state job — toll collector. But, she finally got into an embarrassing mess Daddy can’t get her out of.
