Jim Hood bringing home the bacon once again! Well done sir. You will be a wonderful governor.

The Little Emperor is fuming (because of this and the long wait that he had this morning getting out of his neighborhood onto Lakeland).

I can imagine that red faced dough boy Tater stomping around his office, throwing a tantrum.

He's had everything handed to him since he was anointed by the MSGOP but they won't be able to hand him the governorship.

This makes Tate so mad.

Which big contributor trial lawyer did Jim Hood pay to do the job he was elected to do? Funny how AGs in other states are capable of negotiating these things themselves while Hood pays his contributors to do it for him. Trucks are expensive these days!

I guess Tater (3:41 PM) just woke up from his afternoon nap.

Just wait until a republican fills the AG seat. This source of income (even though relatively small and infrequent) will dry up since the reuplicans will not bite the corporate hand that feeds them.

3:41 PM, what negotiating do Attorneys General do in other states? Please fill me in. Also, it is not possible for an AG to pay a trial lawyer to do anything that is proscribed unto him according to Mississippi law. I'm afraid that your Cracker Barrel lupper has been tainted with Country Time Bath Salts.

What the hell are you talking about, 4:17? Are you totally unfamiliar with the millions gifted to trial lawyer friends of Mike Moore and Hood over the past sixteen years?

This swindle happened on Hood's watch.....he is only recovering 2% of the taxpayer's money that was lost. How is this a win? Hood is a weak, Mississippi never-will-be.

Seems to me that victims should get the money.

Some of this stuff is literally just filling out paperwork for class action lawsuits. I did my paperwork and received a small check for the DRAM antitrust settlement from being overcharged when buying computer memory for 25 years.

there are lots of websites out there that you can apply to join class action law suits.

So there are actually people posting negative shit about the State receiving a check? You do you, Mississippi.

Republicans: Jim Hood uses private trial lawyers! Can you imagine?!? Private attorneys to litigate for the State! That's his job! He's corrupt!

Also, Republicans: Under this new bill, we would allow agencies to choose private attorneys at their discretion. It's called the glorious sunshine bill. Also, Mr. Reeves and Mr. Baker would like to again introduce their measure to privatize the AG office. Let's celebrate their brilliance and initiative.

Jim Hood did a bang up job nailing Chris Epps!

The AG office does not have the talent or the resources to pursue every claim that arises. The very common and totally legal practice of hiring outside counsel provides talent and resources. You critics should focus your attention on what the Legislature does with the money the AG recovers. Improve schools? Infrastructure? Economic development? Don’t hold your breath.

Republicans have been in control of the State for some time now.....How's that working for you? Different hogs at the trough!

How can this be, the AG's office has previouly made it clear that no one can be prosecuted for fraud because MS doesnt have a legal definition of fraud.
