Paging Brent Boger; paging Brent Boger: please pick up the White Courtesy phone so you can defend your buddy Sean Guard some more.

It wasn't all that long ago that the main RINO around here, Brent Boger, felt compelled to rush to the defense of a rather slimy creature who also happened to be Washougal's mayor.

Now, Brent is an interesting fellow.

Back in the day, when he thought rather highly of my meager effort here, he used to feed me information ALL of the time.  It would be about many things, but not the least of them was what he thought of Sean "Officer" Guard.

Here's one of his beauts:




At some point, Boger became a member of that echo chamber and sycophant club.

Because when Glenn Kincaid came out with the goods on Officer Guard, Boger couldn't wait to rush to his defense:

Mayor Sean Guard, who recently announced he is running for a third term, said he had no comment regarding the harassment allegations.
But Washougal City Council member Brent Boger said this evening that he believes the allegations are a political move on the part of Kincaid. 
“(Kincaid) has a great deal of malice toward the mayor,” Boger said. “I think it comes from internal Republican precinct committee officers. There are some divisions in the Clark County Republican party … (and) Kincaid is part of the far right.” 
Boger added that Kincaid and Guard have known each other since high school days and that, while Boger has only known of Kincaid through political channels, he would take what the Washougal businessman says with a grain of salt. 
“I would be skeptical of Kincaid,” Boger said, adding that he thought it “pretty unlikely” that the police would bring charges against the mayor. 
Asked about his reasons for divulging in a series of public Facebook posts what appeared to be sexually explicit phone messages from Guard — or someone pretending to be Guard — Kincaid admitted that politics played a role.
Naturally, the issue of politics was Boger's red herring, another back hand to a hated-by-him conservative.

The reality of all of this is clear: WHY Kincaid put it out on social media is COMPLETELY irrelevant to WHAT he put out there.

But Boger had to cast that seed of doubt, not based on the evidence... but based on his, that is Boger's, concept of the accuser's politics.

Guard, of course, should have resigned as mayor immediately, and should have resigned his GOP PCO position as well, a feat that would have been accomplished via the executive board had not David Gellatly stepped in and save him by breaking the tie vote.

Well, the RINOs have been silent about Officer Guard lately.  But he's getting closer to paying the piper:

WA State Patrol completes Guard investigation, sends to prosecutors

Major Crimes Team reviewing WSP report involving Washougal Mayor Sean Guard

Officer Sean Guard, former fake police officer.
Two months after opening an investigation involving Washougal Mayor Sean Guard, the Washington State Patrol has completed its report and forwarded the matter to the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

WSP Lieutenant Randy Hullinger said last week that WSP had closed its investigation on Aug. 7, and turned its findings over to prosecutors, who will make the decision on whether or not to press charges.

A spokesperson for the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said the matter was “being reviewed by the major crimes team” and that Chief Criminal Deputy Camara Banfield currently has the file.

Calls to Banfield’s office were unanswered in time for this newspaper’s print deadline. The Post-Record has filed a public records request to review WSP’s report.

The case against Guard began in mid-May, after the Washougal Police Department received a citizen’s complaint alleging that Guard was harassing a local resident.

Unable to investigate the city’s mayor, Washougal Police Chief Ron Mitchell requested that an outside agency take over the investigation. WSP picked up the case in early June.

Now, let me be clear: this does not mean, in and of itself, that charges will be filed.

But it WOULD mean that there is as least SOME substance to the allegations.

One has to wonder: will Brent "RINO" Boger have the decency to apologize to Glenn Kincaid at some point?

Probably not.  It's hard to find a sock puppet like Boger and decency together in the same room simultaneously.
