The information was all given to Jerry Spell, an investigator with the office. His comment was that all of the information had to go to "the lawyers" and THEY would decide if there would be action taken.

Also, if they prosecute an elected official, then they are scared it will cost them politically due to upsetting the elected official, his peers and cronies. I have presented evidence of public official theft on several occasions and it has gone nowhere.

The AG also said something stupid, "separations of powers" both the AG and the auditor are in the executive branch. As far as cases being deferred to the AGO and DA's across the state and nothing happening, consider this, the Auditor may be deferring crap to the AGO and DA's. Just maybe the Auditor doesn't know what a prosecutable crime is or isn't. I don't want the either one of them to have wiretap authority!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-49755734547087026202016-02-22T08:02:39.130-06:002016-02-22T08:02:39.130-06:00When he was auditor, I met with Phil Bryant and pr...When he was auditor, I met with Phil Bryant and provided ample documentation of malfeasance concerning a public board in the Delta that was controlled by Benny. This particular board has taxing authority which is the only reason Benny made sure he controlled it. Bryant agreed that there was plenty of evidence to initiate an investigation but as long as Hood was in office this evidence would go nowhere.

Isn't the AG part of the Executive Branch? Isn't the Auditor part of the Executive Branch? How does he figure this would violate separation of powers? Maybe he wasn't referring to the term as used in constitutional language. Maybe he means that is would separate HIS power to protect HIS buddies, like he has been doing for years and allow others to prosecute those that he has tried to keep separate from the courtroom and hoosegowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-89190253723806103352016-02-21T18:12:41.193-06:002016-02-21T18:12:41.193-06:00this is simply an end run by republicans since the...<i> this is simply an end run by republicans since they can't defeat hood in an election and probably never will. </i><br /><br />Don't matter.
