[The Bangor native twice ran unsuccessfully for Maine governor, in 2010 and 2014. Prior to that, he was a longtime attorney, mostly in Washington, D.C. Before that, he worked for U.S. Sen. Edmund Muskie, a Democrat from Maine, and in the administration of President Jimmy Carter.]

Which is no reason to feel sorry for him or shield him from prosecution. Lock him up!

UPDATE: Cutler appears to be an Icky Independent. Whew! Thanks for the replies.

He ran as an Independent twice, split the vote and the odious Paul Le Page was elected twice. Cutler was supported both times by Sen. Angus King. King switched his support to Michaud in the 2nd race in 2014, but by then the damage was done.

LePage is running again against Dem. incumbent Gov
Janet Mills. We will do our best to keep Mills in.
