Jackson Councilwoman Resigns

Jackson Ward 2 Councilwoman Angelique Lee resigned her position this morning.  

 


The Councilwoman's letter stated: 

Circumstances that I am not at liberty to discuss at the moment have led to this decision,” she wrote. “I will greatly miss working with each of you and I am proud of the work that we have done as a collective body for the city of Jackson and its citizens.
Lee is the target of a federal investigation.  The FBI seized her phone on the same day it seized the phones of District Attorney Jody Owens, Councilman Aaron Banks, and Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba.  

Stay tuned.

Will the Feds come forward or keep us in the dark?

Looks like things are a fixin’ to happen

Sadly, the end always comes. Sometimes it is planned, and sometimes well before the plans are achieved. Hope she stays out of jail. At her age, it will be a very bitter pill. Whatever happens, she probably knew it was coming, long ago. Still sad to see a car crash.

I have a feeling that this is going to turn into a very interesting situation.

The plot thickens. Thanks for keeping us posted, KF.

WHEEEWWWWWWW!!!! Let's get this dumpster fire started! I hate to be a Richard Head, but I see where this is going!!!!!!

@10:06 The FBI has a policy of not commenting on an active investigation. What you will see is an after-action report if they have a political axe to grind.

Why a press conference instead of a prepared statement from the official? Hard to imagine Lee was the brain-child of whatever activities the FBI is investigating - more likely she got played and drew their attention. We can only cross our fingers that there are many more special elections in the near future.

So if there's a special election does Rukia jump in?

The problem with this federal investigation is that we at least know the crooks who are running the city now. If they all resign or are removed from office, we don't know what the next batch of crooks might have in store for us.

Remember: the devil you know is sometimes better than the devil you do not.

There's one particular person who has caused enormous damage to Jackson who Kingfish mentioned. It would be a blessing to the city if he and his cohorts were removed.

WLBT doesn't mention the feds. I came here to get the real story.

Does this mean Aaron Banks is up next assuming this is related to the Federal probe?

Anonymous said...

I'm betting she has cut a deal in return for her testimony against the others. That's often the case when you see the first domino fall.

Crooked is as crooked does. AMF. The good news is that Club Fed is much nicer than CMCF.

Sing girl, spill your guts. Hopefully she doesn't get "Arkansided" before this is all over.

@10:35, let's see if the property taxes get paid. That would be a signal.

For her children's sake she should cut a deal.

I guess smoking all that weed got to her

Rut Ron Can’t wait to see who drops next. To God be the Glory for using His men and women for God’s will to lead this COJ in a more befitting way to truly Bless the taxpayers! Now stop the crime and back off of TED HENEFIN who was asked to come serve and help!

Well, if you want to attract the attention of federal investigators, just let your city go 18 days without garbage service while you fight to the last ditch for your preferred contractor. That'll usually do it.

She's cut a deal and singing like a canary. She was they "token" for their charade and went along with it, most likely for some beneficial reason. Now that she's caught up in it, she's going to turn on them. Everyone knew it. I don't feel sorry for her one bit! Lie down with dogs and you wake up with fleas.

Why did she say "you guys" instead of "yall?" Sad

11:04, Much like water bill in COJ, Rukia would not bother to pay back taxes, regardless of her aspirations.

A reader has a thing for Gibbs. Just stop. Not approving your comments. All you are doing is wasting your time.

"Circumstances that I am not at liberty to discuss" because that would incriminate myself...

There. Fixed it for her.

Can this possibly have anything to do with the 'Super Mayor' Tiffany Henyard investigations? One of the extravagant expenditures on travel was to Jackson, Mississippi.

@KF it's called the crab bucket mentality, post has nothing to do with anyone except Lee

The information is on Pacer now. Conspiracy to commit bribery. Two unnamed coconspirators.

That fancy Harvard law degree won't help you now, Chowke. You will look great in a stripe jump-suit. Right?

This is 11:54. I told you so: https://kingfish1935.blogspot.com/2024/08/lee-surrenders.html

This is confirming that Chokwe’s phone was seized? Also those that flip first get the best deals. How many dominos will fall?

"There's one particular person who has caused enormous damage to Jackson who Kingfish mentioned."

KF has mentioned just about everyonein central Mississippi somewhere on this blog at some time. Could you maybe be a little more specific?

Anonymous said...

Based on the history of the MO of the FBI it looks like Lee is going to be the key witness in the prosecution of the two people we all know. This is how they do it.

Anonymous said...

What district was she elected from, will the next councilwoman likely be any better?

Lee is small potatoes. When Chokwe and Lotoya the destroyer are indicted, they will get my attention.

Let see the FBI go after someone that really matters like Brett

Favre The pot calling the kettle black.

Let’s not forget about Brett Farve

Anonymous said...

The last I heard, Brett Favre isn't in charge of the capitol city of a state. He's got money, fame, but naw, he doesn't really have any power over thousands of people and their well-being. So we aren't as worried about Brett.

The anticipation builds as they will certainly be revealing what the searchers found in the mayor’s personal book safe at city hall.

I'm going to put money on her prison account, and be her pen pal.

9:15 pm who is LaToya

Anonymous said...

I am guessing LaToya is the mayor of New Orleans.
She's a real peach. Just swell at her job.

Like Choke.

I cannot for the life of me understand why these elected officials feel like they're entitled to kick-backs and additional perks where their official capacity is concerned. They're in these positions to serve the public trust, nothing more. My professional credibility is worth way more than a dollar amount or a pair of fucking shoes.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
