The feds struck the mother law of Mississippi corruption. I was told by one of the agents early in 2000 that conspiracy has no statute of limitation. This law has prevented them from prosecuting some of Mississippi’s worst offenders.

These criminals need tougher sentences than they are getting in order to serve as a deterrant to others. As it stands, a couple of years of rest at a cushy club fed – a few more rounds of golf and a nice legal library to write there memoirs- is a pretty good deal in exchange for a few billions.

Mag, to take your theory a bit farther, consider this. If the plan was to get Mike Moore elected as a US Senator, think about how much power that could give to the “Ring.”

If this bribery case had not opened up this wound, consider if Trent Lott had continued his position as Senator, and Thad Cochran had decided not to run again. You could have had Trent Lott, brother in law of Scruggs, as one senator and Mike Moore, vbf of Scruggs, as the other senator. Think of the deals and behind the scenes moves these guys could have pulled off.

Don’t think that Lott and Moore’s different political parties would have made a difference. in their collaboration. Read Lott’s biography to learn of his contributions in the tobacco case.

Mag @12:18. You are absolutely correct! Look at the former ICEPAC and its members, and the “PATTERN” of those contributions.

confounded// What I intended to convey was the buying of our elected offices in our State, and this Ring was going NationWide. They were organized, in that when one family donated, the whole Ring donated in a coordernated effect. They tried to buy Lt. Gov. GO LOOK.

I submit that Khayat and Davis need to read this (probably with the help of two mirrors apiece, because they actually need it tattooed on their foreheads).

Observer// Mike Moore/Dickie Scruggs….and Jim Hood/Joey Langston…Apparently its the Credibility that The Attorney Generals’ Office can bring to a Ring, that being a corrupt Ring of unethical, witness tampering,Judge Bribing , Lawyers , who if had not been brought to light would have within the next 20 years been an uncontrolable force , which was in large part created by Scruggs’ and given legitablety by Mike Moore.

["Does anyone know why Mike Moore accompanied D. Scruggs to the court house when Scruggs testified before the grand jury in the Minor case?"]

No, but apparently it was for an important enough reason that it was worth a large chunk of his reputation to do it.

Now, Nomiss and balbo, we must be precise here:

Good Ol’ Boy.
