Stitt Worked Extra Hard To Get Sara Polston Out Of Jail…

The Sara Polston early-release scandal has somehow gotten even more infuriating.

Back in May, a grand jury report found that Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt used his power, influence and “close personal friend” status to help Sara Polston – the politically connected Norman woman who drove drunk, nearly killed Micaela Borrego, and then served only 73 days of an eight-year prison sentence – get sprung from prison and placed on GPS monitoring.

At the time, Stitt – better known as "The Guy" – dismissed the whole thing as “political gossip,” insisted he did “zero favors” for Polston, and wanted everyone to believe it was all just a big coincidence that a wealthy donor, fundraiser host and family friend received the type of criminal justice concierge service that’s somehow never available to poor people without the governor’s cell number.
