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.
Where there is SMOKE, there is FIRE.
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?
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.
GENO LEE for Jackson City Council
She done flipped
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.
Your illogic is called complacency
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
Rukia on the ballot in 3, 2, 1...
The information is on Pacer now. Conspiracy to commit bribery. Two unnamed coconspirators.
Ruh roh! The Scooby Doobie Duo of Lee & Lumumba is about to get got!
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?
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.
What district was she elected from, will the next councilwoman likely be any better?

Ward 2.
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
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
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.
