Chet Lott and Breaux's son grew up together and both were working as lobbyists before Trent's resignation. Putting Breaux's name first may be because he was a Dem and they are in power now, but it may be because Chet was the junior member of the proposed firm in which the former La. Senator was the lead rainmaker. The BreauxLott registration can be explained by the fact that John Breaux and Trent Lott have been long-time friends and Washington neighbors.

Did Trent ACT on anything and then if that act were illegal, beyond just being unethical. However, can any ethics sanctions be brought against him? I hate it when folks get by on a technicality!

He would have waited most likely to the bitter end of 2007 to avoid the controversy over his replacement and the timing of the election. In the end, I suspect all this mess made it an easier (and earlier) decision. And none of this refutes or supports the question of whether he has ever spoken to the most honorable judge in Hinds County, as alleged in open court.

To have a site like FOLO where lawyers are also bloggers along with workaday Mississippian's was beyond their scope. None of this group figured on the bloggers.
