Comments on: A Narrative of the Bribery Case, Pt. 4: 9/24-10/10, Balducci, Lackey and Patterson http://www.folo.us/2008/02/16/narrative-of-the-judicial-bribery-case-pt-4-924-1010-balducci-lackey-and-patterson/ Sat, 21 Mar 2009 17:40:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: nowdoucit http://www.folo.us/2008/02/16/narrative-of-the-judicial-bribery-case-pt-4-924-1010-balducci-lackey-and-patterson/#comment-7821 nowdoucit Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:05:20 +0000 http://www.folo.us/2008/02/16/narrative-of-the-judicial-bribery-case-pt-4-924-1010-balducci-lackey-and-patterson/#comment-7821 I tried to follow the money - they had already paid $20K when Balducci picked up the $40K and somewhere there was mention of other money. It's hard to read a lot about this case and not see conversations and other evidence as "oranges" instead of "apples" - the money is an example of things that just don't add up.

It's clear that Balducci got Scruggs to make some calls for him as a part of this, and I think that's all connected to the Black farmer legislation I've mentioned. But I don't see any sign of any cash going to P&B out of this. I think the $40K was the bribe money and that's it. My thoughts, I’ve wondered the same thing.

The comment of "We've got 40 coming from Scruggs' ". " by Patterson---isn't that referring to the $40K that will go to Lackey---or is that what they're expecting to receive as a fee also?

I just have a strange feeling and as you well know I was on the front line when it comes to how vast, wide and deep this thing could become--maybe my current strange feelings are a result of why I had my original feelings? If that last statement makes any sense to anyone other than myself? I hope that you are correct.

There are other directions it seems clearly headed. Jim– Researcher’s point about the tobacco cases does not mean this thing is over by any means. There are other directions it seems clearly headed.

I once thought there would be bigger fish (and there is) than Scruggs. I think he will do for a "check valve" because of the reasons Researcher points out above. No doubt this thing has longer tentacles but it is about time to cut them--I fear. I think that is one of the reasons we are approaching a stopping point.

For Magnolia. 2-You folks are putting together the Patterson, Blake, Mississippi Bank, Billy Sol Estes, grain bin saga. 3- Just remember these old connections go back for years-- some to the J.O. Eastland days. 4--What a great legal/political system we have, and have had, in this state. Any wonder we are dead ass last in everything? 5-- We need a dual picture of Blake playing for MSU and Lott cheering for that bastion of justice and politically correct UOM. I do think Blake was gone from MSU (1959) before Lott arrived at UOM (1960?)--I think. 1- I can assure you P.L. exists. For Magnolia.
