Remind me again why Shadrack thinks publishing his book about this right now is a good idea?

I FEEL like there is more to all this Prevacus stuff if know what I mean.

Mississippi's good ol' boys never go to jail.

YYYaaawwwwnnn, SSssSSnnnoorrree, ZZZzzzZZZzz

At this point Bryant's scalp means nothing and costs nobody their job.

Maybe Phill and Donny can share a prison cell :)

Would love to see ole Phil on the stand having to say under oath he had no knowledge about what was going on.

Odd how Nancy is suddenly remembering these “incriminating” tidbits about Phil et al now but was dumbfounded and appalled about questions regarding Phil in discussions with audit investigators and prosecutors when under indictment.

@KF - to answer your question, no. Even if the Feds get an indictment, he will take a plea deal instead of fighting it out in court.

Also, Go Nancy!! Burn them ALL down!

This really looks bad for Shad.

If Nancy is a cooperating witness, why is she making these allegations in the civil suit but not relaying them to the prosecution??

Why can't both Shad and Anna write about this thing? The more sunshine, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

Too bad Byant’s alleged boasting isn’t recorded. Know what is sworn and subscribed and on record? Nancy New pleading guilty to her role in the Prevecus investment

This week’s articles makes me wonder how much money Nancy funneled through MCEC to Mississippi Today

Shad too busy going after a grandmother who fudged two hours on her timesheet.

meanwhile, the majority of us poor bastards are trying to pay our taxes and eek out a reasonable existence while these jackals feast on our tax dollars.....

shameful

2/29 at 1:41 pm Does the name Bernie Ebbers ring a bell?

Phil can probably say he doesn't remember.

It might not work so well for him, but he still could say it!

Criminals. The whole lot.

The most important questions for Phil concerning the strange financial shenanigans involving Prevacus and the TANF pot of gold that was looted while a certain former deputy was governor:

What did Phil New and when did he New it?

So let me get this straight ——- The governor “whistleblew” on himself to the Auditor whom he appointed. Then they arrest the News and are going to let them go to prison. What sorry SOBs.
But most people knew that was the plan all along.

"Nancy New, the nonprofit operator pegged..." HEHEHEHEHE HARHARHARHAR

@1:44 - Whose job would you like to see on the line? The Welfare Appointee is unemployed. Bryant is unemployed. All of New's employees are unemployed (or were at one point). Who's left?

It ain't about somebody getting fired at this point. People losing their job, now, is pocket change. It's all about putting the right people behind bars in federal prison and for how long. And if the target of that is unclear to you, God help you as you progress through life.

@1:28 - Prevacus was a scam but the scam cannot be proved. And the feds are not interested in the validity of Prevacus to begin with. What else would you like to know? Prevacus is also pocket change.

All of these players, including the Prevacus founder, are going to testify against Phil Bryant. And Bryant, at some point, is going to cop a one-count plea while maintaining his innocence. He'll get three to five with six months to serve. Is that not clear yet?

Ah, 1:55...Phil will not appear on the stand. There's not a lawyer in the country who will allow that bumpkin to testify. And THAT will be a condition of accepting representation.

Bryant thinks he can fool a federal prosecutor and jury with his folksy, boot-scootin', pickup-truck Who Me? persona, but a federal prosecutor will skin his country-ass alive on the stand.

Behind “SOME” of the spending……..I think Bryant was behind it all. Bring him to justice and grab Shad Doody along the way!

New doesn't have a chance. She is fighting the powerful Mississippi "good ol' boy" network. They have circled the wagons and will display an acute case of "I don't recall."

Phil welcome to the frying pan

I am so ashamed that the Rankin Political Machine forced that buffoon into the governor's office.

I would be fine with locking him up as well as all the rednecks that determine the heir apparent to the throne in Mississippi.

We need a GOP enema.

5:07

He is far from the first buffoon forced on us by the Rankin Political Machine. Irldeans stink continues unabated.

5:07 - the country needs an emema. What we mix with it is the question.

At this point Phil better be squirreling away some money because if he has to serve time there will be no one on earth that will trust him enough to employ him or affiliate with him. He will go by the wayside of people like Bobby DeLaughter and Ed Peters, And maybe some of those tobacco attorneys or ambulance chasers that advertise on tv might give him a job and become a process server. Hell, he has experience knocking on doors as a former deputy. What worse is he good for? He stole money from needy people. How low can you go? Favre are you listening? @3:59, you are probably correct. Somebody got “pegged”. Now look up the definition to that term/slang and you will see my point because someone is gonna get “pegged” again.

You would think a well educated man like Phil Bryan (Graduate of Mississippi Delta Jr. College) (Also known as Moorhead Jr. College) would have had better judgement than this.

Y'all know who mad?
Deborah Bryant! That New woman was her friend. Borrowed her clothes! And now singing to bring everyone else down with her.
Not a big Phil fan, but I don't think he really knew what he was doing. I think he was all enamored with Favre.

I'm not a Phil Bryant apologist, but if Bryant didn't profit from all the shenanigan's, how will they prove his guilt? What would be used as his motive?

Can someone please answer this question? Will Nancy or Zach ever serve any prison time? Seems like this is dragging on for so long. They are back to their normal lives. Doesn’t seem like there has been any punishment

Hey 5:27, leave IDR out of this!

Ex Rankin resident that has known Phil for over 40 yrs. If ever the book “Peter Principle” was proven correct was with dumb ass Phil. His life goal was to be a deputy sheriff. Not sheriff but deputy sheriff. Enough said

7:17. Irl Dean is the master of this political network. You cannot leave him out of any of this.

7:17
He’s washed up at this point , the only one he is hanging his hat on is about done .

The DA said he provided all of the discovery materials to the News. They wouldn't be the first criminals to lie about things. I believe the DA.

The DA said he provided everything he had. I believe him. The question is, what all did the DA have when he provided it? What didn’t he have?

Shad need to go.

@8:04 pm-you are exactly correct. The MGOP had a really shallow pool when they let Phil swim to the top.Now Big Hat Andy is coming over the hill.

Like 6:43, I'm no Phil Bryant apologist either, although I don't know why so much animus is generated toward Bryant when he apparently didn't profit personally. If he did wrong, let him pay. But a lot of people here think "Feel is nothing but an immoral buffoon" and I simply don't see evidence yet.

I'm highly suspicious when thugs like Nancy New are suddenly viewed as telling truth when they have been so deceitful in the past.

Regarding the Bernie Ebbers references, remember that Mr. Sullivan got to vacation at an Air Force base for a few months when Ebbers got crushed. Is anyone going to hold Sullivan (or Nancy New) up as a role model for their children to aspire?

Is this "New news" or "news about New?" This is so confusing.

Motive? Prevacus was his financial motive. He was country enough to believe that alone would bring him wealth. Plus, he has always been driven by adulations and the thought that others thought he was important. Thus, his involvement and insistence on managing all the handouts of the money.

Debra? She was fully aware of the whole thing as it rolled out. Nancy didn't dupe her then and has not double-crossed her now.

Phils Income? Get someone to do the math for you. PERS monthly income and 13th check based on high four after fifty years of employment in the system. That'll be at least 185K before you know it. Social Security plus whatever he has ratholed away in State Deferred Comp system and other resources unknown. And he can sell that yaller, antique truck.

9:24, if Bryant is guilty in this matter, how has his PERS income been increased by these actions? Your point has zero to do with this subject.

@8:25 - he didn’t personally profit because Shad shut it down the day before he was set to get paid. The timing sure was convenient for Phil, quite the coincidence.

"...if Bryant is guilty in this matter, how has his PERS income been increased by these actions? Your point has zero to do with this subject."

My post at 9:24 makes no claim that any of this has affected his PERS income. Not sure where you got that.

As to what my 'point has to do with this subject', do yourself a favor and read the post at 5:41 which brings up the subject of his employability and how/whether he can survive.

The 5:41 post also suggests Phil better be 'squirreling away some money'. My comments re PERS indulge the concerns expressed at 5:41 and put the poster at ease regarding Phil's financial status going forward. PERS will float him for life. In fact, PERS + SS will = more than he has ever made in his lifetime.

Any more concerns, please express them. Thanks.

Without a recommendation from Fitch, this goes nowhere.

Without a royal decree by Hizz Royal Higness, Duke Barbour, one which his royal seal is affixed (kudzu leaves in red wax off a Maker’s Mark bottle) - this goes nowhere, same as it has gone nowhere so far. Handmaiden Lynn ain’t gonna step a heeled foot near this without it. Little Lord Shad needs to settle his short britches down - you don’t go challenging the royal court of back room politics until invited to the grownup’s table.

Recommendation of Fitch? What does Lynn have to do with it?

Unfortunately, unless 47 other State AG’s join this lawsuit first, Lynn won’t join or recommend.

@640 - you are obviously a troll with absolutely no knowledge of the connections.

Barbour doesn't give a damn about FItch (yes, he does care about Markers Mark, so you get a half point for what everybody knows, recognizes, and he does not deny.)

Fitch doesn't give a damn about Barbour's direction - Haley has left the state level and does not effect whatever her sights may be set on, but if he could wouldn't lift a finger to assist her. Charlie put her where she was/is - and he has nothing to do with nothing today. So that connection is not in play.

Shad has no connection to Barbour - his only loyalty is to his boss multiple times over, which is Phil. And again - there is no love lost between Barbour and the deputy. IF Barbour gave a damn about this issue, neither Shad nor Lynn would come out of it on top. But from what the real observers of the state see, Barbour is spending his time on things that have nothing to do with this kind of crap.

Your belief is so old school shit, its almost laughable. That train left the station long ago and neither Phil, nor Lynn, nor Shad are even on the chessboard being played by Barbour.

"Charlie put her where she was/is - and he has nothing to do with nothing today."

While pissing your pants in agitation, you forgot one thing. Charlie was never an elected official, and it took a (pretty important) elected official to put her in charge of multiple agencies. Charlie drug up a little short of that capability. So, this leaves us with....guess who?

This is only coming out now because everyone but Shad and Phil were under gag orders. I honestly hope Phil and Shad go down for this. That really would be justice.
