Buttholes are gettin' tight!

Burn them all, Nancy. Burn them all.

Dear Dewey, Louie and Screwy- Remember this "First in,
first out".
But wait!!! Dewey was already first in and is probably
currently Fed up. Oh well. Sorry Louie and Screwy.
Nothing offered for second.

The paper shredders are working overtime and BleachBit can't be kept on the shelves. HRC and Fawn Hall have been hired as a consultants.

Is a Wellness Center a Volleyball center?

Well, she left off Phil's boy Tater....Drag all of them down...Hope the feds are in attendance

Phil wont have custody over the majority of those documents-

Not sure I would refer to this as "overkill." Looks more like searching for the "truth." And sometimes the truth hurts like hell.

as Bennett heads for the hills

I for one hope the News expose anyone and everyone involved. It’s about time.

Piggott is out and probably doesn’t care to see anything. New’s attorney Gary Bufkin is a serious and respected lawyer. This fact makes New’s allegations regarding Bryant more credible than if her attorney was a wingnut.

Reeves botching the handling of this gets more apparent by the day. A rare unforced error for Reeves.

Those Phil commercials with the kids chanting "Thank you for getting our daddies back" need to be pulled.

He is not the face you want soliciting charitable donations.

This whole thing reeks absolute phuckery and jackassary. Everyone knows orders in State Gov come from the top down. My question is who authored the mis-direction of the TANF pot$ into a lease? Who concocted that deal and what attorney drafted the "lease". Some attorney vetted the idea and crafted this POS at the insistence of some-one. MDA always like to use " ...And for any other projects as determined by and at the discretion of MDA (GOV Office)"....

If Lynn was smart-that was hard type- she would just comply with everything she has. If this went down while Phil was Gov then Hood was AG and his people put the stamp on it. And since Lynn cast off all the talent that was there when Hood was there what does she have to lose? Put egg on Phil and Hood and maybe, just maybe., Shad who she much know she’ll eventually be in a primary with.
Again, IF Lynn was smart. She spent her entire career disproving that particular premise

"Phil's boy Tater?" Is there a CAPTCHA that tests for a minimal understanding of the political factions in Mississippi before allowing comments? 'Cause we could use one of those on this here blog.

Phil and Deb have "moved to the country" and maybe they can avoid being served out there.

I am a conservative Republican and it always upset me that Phil was constantly trying to cram "God" and Jesus down our throats while pulling fast ones with the state's money. He succeeded on both counts. We now have "God" on our license plates and we now have $50 million in taxpayer money missing and in the hands of one or more of his favorite friends.

I hope Anna Wolfe keeps digging and the attorneys are successful in digging further.

He was an embarrassment and all roads lead to his further disasters.

Who is the smartest player in this mess?

Who is the dumbest?

Who is the smartest player in this mess? Anna Wolfe, then Nancy New.

Who is the dumbest? John Davis

Well tell Gerry Bufkin to send his staffing with their own copier to copy records which was done by DEQ in the past with the Beatrice Potter law suit that Johnny Cochran I believe was involved with back in the 1990’s. The law firm did this to cut down on cost when there were thousands of rolling files.

Willing to bet Lynn was the one who sign off!

Tater is on deck. Sure hope he had legitimate reasons to keep USM out of this investigation. Sure is odd that the Prevacus guys wanted Tater to be elected after Phil’s reign ended.

The smartest? The left Mississippi long ago.

I would like to see the email correspondence between big brother New, little brother New, and Momma New.

You know big brother New did at all. He’s the brains in the family. Momma New and baby brother New had to run things past him. It will be interesting to see what his denial will be. Remind me, didn’t he owned buildings that weren’t being used and the company was leasing from him.

It is always a treat to see people like 4:36, who, in attempting to insult Lynn's intelligence, is too moronic him/herself to realize that this approval happened more than two years before Lynn became AG. The dumbest are always the most confident.

Do they have His & Hers prisons for Dewey & Deb?

Does Phil have to pay out of pocket for his legal fees during this litigation or does the state pay for it because this took place while he was in office? Regardless, please let it be the experienced and overqualified Joey... You know, the other guy in the room during Phil’s infamous interview with MS today.

Just think about it, at the beginning of Republican rule we had Haley pardoning folks left and right, now this mess with Tate and Phil. It’s just shameful they all misrepresent themselves .

"Well, she left off Phil's boy Tater...."


2:51, your ignorance of state level Mississippi politics is on display.

Those two never have liked each other.

Wonder how long it takes the Feds to dig up dirt on Bryant’s actions involving setting up his daughter with cushy legal jobs.

Look like the chicken have come home to roost

@9:40 or contracts Phil and his “Global Partners” procured prior to Phil’s departure from office.

Nancy, this damned Kingfish is keeping us apart.

Glad to see someone (5:39) finally point out the obvious that Jess New was the kingpin of so much of this fraud and somehow (perhaps the “lawyer privilege” that infects so much of life in MS) has escaped any major charges or fines. Mama New always stood out like a sore thumb among the big doctor and local business tycoon donors at JA running her “school” that graduated 10-15 kids a year and poor Zach New just wanted to know where the nearest plug was. The only sense in that family is Jess and, despite leading the board and serving as attorney for the sham school & owning the Madison County shed receiving hundreds of thousands in stolen tax dollars for “storage,” he remains largely above the muck his mom & brother are sinking in. His various no-show “board lawyer” appointments by Feel were an obvious quid pro quo.

He, Lacoste, Favre, Longwitz, and Feel are all skating WAY too easy on this.

Phil reminds me of Jimmy Swaggart! Oh the high and mighty have fallen.

Poor soul @12:35 needs a hug. Bless his/her heart.

A 'plethora' you say! Dayum them big words is throwin' me.

'Show us whatchu got' typically results in production of almost nothing. The way to have done this would be for federal marshals to show up and haul off boxes of records, computers and file cabinets.

On the other hand, Miz New and her associates have lots of stuff to produce that will tighten up even the loosest cowboy boots.

I told y'all months ago that Rodney's resignation, even though announced five months early, was connected to this volleyball fiasco. Everybody else said, 'No Way!' He had to find a new gig before his reputation, such as it is, got tarnished.

I also told y'all that Pigott had indeed 'forwarned' those who signed his contract that he was going to issue these subpoenas. The fact that he publicly announced it has not only protected the case, moving forward, but enhanced his credibility as he departs.

(I'm no attorney, but Ironsides was always my favorite show.)

So Nancy and her legal team who are very good lawyers by the way, are much like Anna Wolfe in doing the job Shad White should have done. I can’t help but wonder how long before he’s hit with an obstruction charge?

I love how the Anonymous peanut gallery that is JJ, of which I am so proudly a part, consistently knows so much about this matter and others of the day. Our beloved state does indeed give us much to render expertise upon.

Still would be more fun if everyone’s real name was required…….but, the site would probably get quiet and boring.

Perhaps if they look closely, Cuzzin Phil might have had sticky connections to the Corrections Scandal with Epps. "Field Marshall" Marshall Fisher and his successor OVERTIME PuhLeeza Hall should be looked at even though they came after the Epps Scandal in the role of commish of MDOC.
"

Shad needs a few subpoenas in his mailbox hole.

We need to see all his internal reports and his communications with Phil and everyone else in the mix.

It’s ironic that Bryant is taking so much heat the week of the Wildlife Ganza in Pearl. It wasn’t but a few years ago he led the charge against The Mississippi Wildlife Federation along with Gipson ,Polles,the former fairgrounds director , and the rich white fat cats on the MWFP commission and foundation. They thought by taking away the traditional show dates they could destroy the watch dog group.One by one their true colors are being exposed.

Conservative MS voter here and I hope they all get locked up.

I hold no real hope for that because the elite (D or R) always skate into a golden parachute of retirement and overpaid speaking gigs. No matter how heinous they are criminally.

At this point, I'd rather have farmers and garbage truck drivers calling the shots. It cant be worse.

Where does Steve Pickering fall in this thing? From what I remember from my days at DHS, he ran MCEC or at least wanted everyone to believe he did. His name has been curiously left out of this thing so far.

I wonder if Phil will be kicked out of his church? I hear Christian’s aren’t supposed to steal from the needy so this could be an issue?

I think people underestimate how stupid all of these people are.

Step 1:
They literally were like "bub bubb buhhh that'll be a good idea for TANF fundszz"

Step 2:
"lets git an attorney general opinion on diss"

they get it approved by IHL. they think they are good.

they are so far removed from understanding what TANF funds are actually supposed to be used for and completely ignorant to how stupid of an idea it really is.

@8:26 - Steve Pickering is out there living his best life on the soccer field. He always seemed to be a nice enough guy and just on the outskirts of any real decision making for FF. But, like you, I’ve always wondered how his name has not come up.

8:13 AM, people in Rankin already have to get a pass from their garbage collector in order to get a car tag.

@8:26 most likely at JFC with the other soccer moms.

Yall are getting off topic. This is a clawback proceeding, not the criminal trial. Nance is picking off the easiest one as the first one. Also happens to be the biggest. No way the News will be forced to make good on the $5 million that the AG and IHL approved. I assume they are going to end up bankrupt anyway, so maybe she is just making waves so she can claim to be a victim.

@11:53 on the contrary. It’s curious why Southern Miss and TeleSouth were left out of the original suit. Pigott is fired, apparently for subpoenaing Southern Miss. Then, Nancy’s lawyers double down and issue the same subpoenas, plus others. If the state is trying to hide anything, they’re screwed. Nancy was a pawn, a pawn who is about to expose a ton of bullshit. Good for her.

@11:53. Would you “claim” to be a victim if you did what your immediate boss and his boss told you to do and then got prosecuted (persecuted) for doing it ???


Kingfish. Overkill … really ? Your whole family is ruined financially, professionally, and every way imaginable and all you want is the whole truth to be told ?

As my brother used to say, “ she about to wrap that thang round Dewey and the rest of them boys neck”

Overkill is a volleyball term.

"TeleSouth were left out of the original suit".

All things considered, that is indeed an interesting part of this entire web.

Hoocoodanode?!

LOWNDES COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) — The indictment of state Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps on a conspiracy to embezzle millions of dollars has raised questions about if someone was asleep at the wheel in state government.

But Governor Phil Bryant said today the nature of the crime helped it escape detection from him, his staff or anyone else in the administration or the Legislature. That’s especially true since Epps generally was highly regarded in the state Capitol and among his peers nationwide.

“It is difficult for us to determine when someone will take a wrong turn in life and because it’s often, it’s never done in the daytime, often done in areas that would not be suspected,” Bryant said Thursday following a speech to the annual Golden Triangle Link luncheon.

Epps resigned November 5 amongst claims he’d operated the scheme for years.

Just following orders? Nancy New pled guilty to "four counts of bribery, two counts of fraud against the government, six counts of wire fraud and one count of racketeering."

https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2022/04/27/nancy-new-zach-new-plead-guilty-mississippi-welfare-misspending/9551152002/

Let me guess, she only pled guilty for the children.

@9:05 all of which don’t amount to shit. The State gets nothing from her. Largest “scandal” in history and she doesn’t serve a day for the state. Makes you wonder why….what help is she offering? What really is the truth and who all is involved? It’s not the children. It’s Phil and company. This is big.

@9:05. What everyone leaves out when talking about the indictments she pled guilty to is the statement reads “AT THE DIRECTION OF John Davis AND OTHERS”……..

@8:27. That might be true for state indictments but not federal indictments which did not involve TANF money

I don't understand how more people aren't involved in this deal. Shad claims $90+ million dollars was stolen or misspent, but has nothing to show for it. Hinds County has 100 years worth of time stated in the pleas, but it all runs concurrent to the Federal charges. In other words, the state charges don't mean a damn thing. But for the Feds, Shad would have nothing to crow about.

I get John Davis is involved, and probably screwed, but what about all of the other DHS executive level suits (and blouses) that signed off on this stuff. How can they get overlooked? I would have thought more heads would roll from such a massive and historical "scheme".

"I would have thought more heads would roll"

hahaha

Ain't none of the heads attached to the Big boys gonna roll.

Dis be mississippi, darling.

@12:24 Just a thought. Who usually completes reports that the superintendent of a school system signs off on? Does the superintendent personally go to EVERY school and individually count EVERY child and teacher for the report? Or does said superintendent trust those under her to make sure the data is correct! Looks to me like Nancy was guilty of trusting her staff cough, cough Maybe the one hanging out on the soccer field? among others?. Just sayin’…

Is John Davis talking?
