Jackson Jambalaya

One helluvan endeavor and to be congratulated. Say what you will about politics, haircuts and personalities, this is a very promising move.

Can't wait to read the Tater, Feel and Fisher remarks, which will have nothing to do with anything but will give the keyboard-warriors their morning finger-exercise.

This is why Tate and Phil wanted to reign in Hood. Lots of bad news to come out of depositions in this case.

Whenever you see someone trying to stop information from being seen....there is a reason.

Keefe Commissary Network, has never stopped doing business with the state of Mississippi.

I don't understand, why they are still doing business on Greenfield Rd in Pearl, MS.

The word on the street, which I might add that is pretty reliable, there are several other people and pay offs the government are not going after. Pay offs for the new Federal Court House, and the new FBI building; because they don't want to be embarrassed.

Me too 4:45 am Wonder how such bad things keep happening right under Feel's and Tater's noses ? All these scandals in their party and their administration and they don't seem to know what's going on in their own administration until the scandals break.

Hmm
What is the difference in 'consulting fees' to 'secure' a contract that Hood objects to?

I mean, aren't those the same as 'lobbying' fees paid to secure favorable bacon in a bill?
Or 'consultant' fees to his 'assistant AG' trial lawyer friends?
Should'nt we sue for recovery of the 'free' talk show time on Shallow show for Kemper plant? (and anything else they tell him to plug)
For the Beef plant? (friends of Hood?)
For the Port expansion? (fiends of Haley) PS no mo bananas there
For the tax bonds that havent been paid by development company on Lowes in Ridgeland/highland colony (mayor of Ridgeland friend?)
I mean lets not stop here, lets go Conway!!!! Lets go whole hog! I am with you!!!

"The word on the street, which I might add that is pretty reliable, there are several other people and pay offs the government are (sic) not going after".....

Yeah. That "word on the street". "I might add it's pretty reliable." Oh, yeah. Like, getting ideas from your dog, or, let's say, those voices in your head that have great ideas, right? The tinfoil on your head is loose?


It's all a conspiracy! Run! Not mattering that the FBI and US Courthouse is Federal, that the contractors are from 1000 miles away, and that this would involve GSA, a Federal Agency, and not this entirely state agency and monies mess.

"The word on the street....." What, Whitfield Road? That's right next to Greenfield, too, so ironically. (Or, maybe not so ironically.)

6:32: Epps and his band of merry-men predated Feel and Tater by at least a decade, plus a few years. You can track most of this all the way back to McCoy and a dozen democrats who assembled in Jackson every January.

But I understand how convenient it is to pretend you don't know that.

Hood making the run to be Governor and with the weak Rs left make work.

They are now Republicans because it benefits them. Many of the so called Republicans were once Democrats. In state politics it really matters very little. Very few are there for true public service.

There is no RICO violation in that complaint.

Some of these companies are still under contract and doing business with the state, so why would Hood be suing them? Makes no sense to go after companies that were not actually involved.

Why was Guy "Butch" Evans left out? Does insurance fraud not count??

I agree that this action is to be congratulated - very rarely does a state go after the secondary, tertiary and supporting actors in a criminal conspiracy. Too often, the government considers its work done when a few arrests are made and the problem has the appearance of being solved. In this case, the contracting process during Epps' tenure at the MDOC has all of the hallmarks of a continuing criminal enterprise where the unspoken rule was "pay to play." While I don't always agree with General Hood, he's doing the right thing here by following the trail of money and associated influence.

Dang Conway

You almost let this parade get through before you jumped on the bandwagon. It is too late (this time) for you to try your normal stunt if trying to jump out front and pretend that you are leading the band.

But glad to see you get in on the fun. Guess you figured out a way to funnel some of this off to one of your contributors so they can make this year's condo or yacht payments from the 'fees' you can pass on to them.

Where do all the roads intersect? Big Bucks Bennie?

You can bet your sweet ass (and mine too) that Epps was getting advice and inspiration from Benny on potential contractors. Ain't a black politician alive who doesn't know every potential contractor and how many silver plated shovels he has.

Be on the lookout for the THANK YOU note to Mike Hurst for doing Conway Twitty's job for him. I am sure there is one out there.

What a poser.

Cases of Imodium are being delivered, daily, to the legislature as we speak.

Can you imagine the depositions in this case?

I may file to intervene on behalf of the estate of the dead legislator just to sit in Epps' depo....

Cue up the music from Goodfellas.....

This has Mark Bakers name written all over it...wait until these Rankin county connections get looped in....

Civil Rico is an arcane statute neutered by the third circuit years ago...it was designed to deal body blows to the mob....

In theory Hood could chase this money all the way up to Phil.....

The cases are hard to win....they are harder to survive if there is a kernel of truth in them....and Epps is Orvil damn Reddenbacher

Have you noticed that Steve Holland always sits with his back to the wall?

Desire for Cecil McCrory to die in prison, assuming he has reported and is now locked up. Only got eight years I think.

I hope AG Hood looks into the paper products contracts and those connected consultants who arrange these overprice agreements.The Feds have not acted yet so he could claim this one as his own and not an Elvis come lately.

Is it true that Holland has a contract to pick up the bodies?

Nothing more than standard election year BS tactics from hood. Prove the RICO violations, there are none. It was all EPPS and other individuals based on EPPS mandating kickbacks. Be willing to bet most, if not all companies had no knowledge of what really was going on. EPPS needs to ROT in jail.
