Phil Speaks!

Former Governor Phil Bryant promised to release all of his text messages related to the DHS scandal in a video he posted online today. He accused the media of weaponizing an interview he gave to Mississippi Today and "mischaracterizing" his communications.  He said the media pushed a narrative that is not true as he denied knowing anything about the wrongdoings at DHS.  The video is posted below.  Enjoy.

Well. There you have it. I told you he didn’t know what those lawyers were up to.

I'm not saying Anna Wolfe would stretch the truth, outright lie, or avoid facts to fit her agenda. However, I did read one of her articles on the Jackson water situation and she clearly stretched the truth, outright lied, and avoided pertinent facts in order to shape the story to her agenda.

Signed,
Someone in the water industry who deals with water/sewer daily

Phil was phucked by his on comments - not the media.

I guess most of Phil's supporters cannot read, so he opted for a video message with simple Phil type words.

The fact that Phil Bryant is a crooked SOB was "weaponized" against him.

Interesting timing for sure. Not sure any of his handlers are experienced in such things, hopefully he hired a DC pro. And hopefully it costs his every dine in his campaign slush fund.

Lying Phil is at it again. Not everything is a political witch hunt Phil. Claiming that going after Phil as a way to hurt future Republicans is too dumb even for this state to believe him. Better come up with a better story Phil, the jurors will expect a former governor to have a more believable excuse than that.

I’d like to see Phil and Favre take a competency test prior to their trials. I don’t think either is smart enough to understand what they have done.

“Simple Phil type words” - Just curious as to whether simple describes Phil or words.

LOL this is what those in public relations call "getting ahead of the story"

Production forgot the tag “I’m Tate reeves and an approve this message” c’mon, tater is about to get deep fried in pork fat over this scandal . This video gives him an “out” in debates so he can skate by his involvement and save the party’s face. Hell , he probably paid Feel to do it.

"Prevaricate Phil" joins the ranks of "Lying Lumumba."

I think Phil was an honor graduate at Sunflower Jr. college in Moorhead.

When does Zac and Nancy go to jail??????
Can we move this along

His lawyers grabbed him by both arms as he headed to the podium...begging him to not shoot himself in the foot (or scrotum) again for the third time.

But, there ain't no reasonin' with a stubborn mule set on stompin' a mud hole where they don't need to be one.

He knows he's guilty as sin and he can't wait to get on the stand and blow his defense to smithereens.

Eve of the indictments

That is what you get when you elect a graduate (or at least an attendee) from Mississippi Delta Junior College (Moorhead Ms. J. C,) to be governor of the most illiterate state in the U.S.A.

One of the greatest thing Mississippi known for is crooked politicians. It ranks number 1.

3:54 PM, amateur error picking on “Phil’s supporters” reading skills.

Anytime you want to have our state’s politicians take an IQ test, let get this done! Same with congress.

I’m betting reading skills as well and math, etc. are much better in Republican controlled Rankin and Madison Counties, as compared to Democrat controlled Hinds. Again, your post was an amateur error.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

He didn't say "right?" one time. That means he must be telling the truth. Right?

Please proceed Governor Phil.


Please proceed.

Dont know the whole story but I think they being Nancy John and Phil thought they could just use this money for whatever... and Brett is just collataeral damage ... sad that New Summit schools closed because of their disregard for rule of play

Audit Auditor Pheel!

Also, anything in these messages about all those expensive borrowed clothes Pheel's wife was loaned from one of the indicted conspirators?

Or is Pheel still trying to act like that's another of those unknown unknowns?

I'm starting to think the former deputy isn't nearly as smart as he apparently thinks he is.

After watching that video, no competent attorney will ever let Phil testify before a jury.

Governor Bryant if you did not have the power to approve these transactions how in the hell did John Davis have the power? John Davis was the Executive Director of MDHS Appointed by YOU! I would like to hear from the Attorneys assigned to your office from the Attorney General of the State of Mississippi.

Why aren’t the Attorneys involved in this fraud indicted?

John Davis would never do anything of this magnitude without your nod! Mr Governor all Mississippians aren’t stupid!!!

Now I am not saying you’re guilty! However you are allegedly blowing smoke and it ain’t cute.

My opinion, John Davis was way over his head in this fiasco. Governor you allegedly left him hanging!

Mr Governor, the lowest and slowest employee in this Agency would have said, “ hell to the No”, if asked to give TANF funds in this manner.

Just saying, not accusing you of anything. I think you were a good Stewart of the taxpayers money. Right

Where are the relevant texts from 2016-19? Seems there was another politician who somehow lost all her emails while under investigation. All I can remember is people being led by some delusional megalomaniac chanting “lock her up”.

Anonymous said...

So, where are the text messages, right?

And the emails and recorded phone calls, right. Oh, and the log kept by the MHP of everywhere he was driven to meet with whom at whose house and at what hour.

Note to Feel: Competent discovery doesn't request 'send us what you'd like us to see'.

The thing nobody brings up is, if they could do this with Medicaid money, just think how many pockets got lined with Covid money. There was zero accountability for that money Washington pushed out and very few strings. Some counties paved streets, some towns built water parks, and in some places, nobody really knows.

Phil used some extremely bad judgement while in office. But I’ve yet to see anything illegal. Maybe I’m wrong.

Go Head Mo-Head.

I'd like to see the story about why Lynn Fitch and the Hinds County district attorneys never indicted Phil. Either the Feds ARE involved and ready to pounce on him, or Fitch/Hinds Co. are covering for Phil.

Anonymous said...

5:36 is right. Hillary set the standard for these types of criminals to skate because they deleted all correspondence. And sadly, she too was never locked up.

Cant blame Phil for following the Dem playbook.

Down The Rabbit Hole.. said...

All this chatter about Reeves (coming from Democrats)...I've yet to see anything suggesting his involvement.

But I do understand their anxiety and willingness to pursue imaginary rabbit trails.

Anonymous said...

Total Clinton playbook.
1. Get out ahead of the impending story
a. "I did not have sexual relations, with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anyone to lie, never! Now, I have to back to work for the American people."

2. Be as evasive as ever and don't admit anything...ever.
a. "It all depends on what the definition of 'IS' is."

3. Mercilessly, blame the other side for political vendettas. Do not let the other side catch their breath.

4. Only admit anything AFTER undisputable evidence has been presented and there's nowhere to go.
a. "Indeed I did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky that was not appropriate."

5. Still holler and scream blaming your enemies for political theater.
a. NEVER LET UP.

6. Wait it out and let the folks get oversatureated in the story until the people say..."I'm tired of this. Come on, media, move on!"

Geez, Bill Clinton had steel ones...and could have cared about anyone else but himself.

Hookah said...

Who do you think deleted the messages that incriminate him?

Anonymous said...

Bill Clinton is still very popular across the board. Its his wife that is hated. Phil won’t be able to say the same in twenty years, I think both Phil and Deb go down on this one.

Anonymous said...

Innocent until proven guilty. Just hope the state gives Phil the opportunity to prove he is innocent. There is enough here to indict Phil. It’s time to do so!

Anonymous said...

I watched the video.

Aside from all his whining and complaints that the lawyers found nothing wrong he seems to spend a lot of time claiming there is some sort of media plot to distort things in order to make him and his associates look bad.

Like he needs help to do that! He's doing a fine job of that himself in my opinion.

I was wondering if he's been getting enough fiber in his diet as he looks a mite piqued in the video.

Then I saw the latest Mssissippi media news: Anna Wolfe and Mississippi Today win Pulitzer Prize for “The Backchannel” investigation.

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.
