On or about March 30, 2010, the day of the vote on SB380, GILLEY called a campaign consultant to discuss a member of the Alabama Senate, who supported the bill but was unlikely to take part in the vote due to illness. During the call, GILLEY told the consultant, who was planning to see the ailing legislator that morning, that, if the legislator participated in the vote, GILLEY would secure the help of prominent country music stars to run the legislator’s campaign. GILLEY told the consultant to assure the legislator that GILLEY was going “to participate in his campaign and uh, in a big, big, big way” and that the legislator was “number twenty-one for us.” Later, GILLEY stated that “in excess of $500,000 is what’s already committed” if the legislator showed up and voted in favor of SB380. The consultant assured GILLEY that he would forward GILLEY’s promise to the legislator. Later that day, the legislator voted in favor of SB380.

All in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371.

Mitchell was quoted in the Troy Messenger as saying :
“I couldn’t believe my eyes or ears Monday morning when all that stuff came out,” he said. “In all my years of service, 25 years, I have never, ever had a single lobbyist come to me and make an offer for my vote.”

He then assured his supporters that it was his principles—and not bribes—that influenced his vote.

Mitchell appears to be neck deep in this corruption , he may not be involved , and if he is not he should submit his resignation letter because all of this happened right under his nose and he was not smart enough to know it .

Prediction : Mitchell will be indicted and alter co operate with the DOJ and provide evidence and testimony to implicate others .Mitchell is in poor health so the DOJ can extend him an hand up
