Hot off the presses: Wilson’s motion for sanctions – UPDATED

April 22nd, 2008 @ 5:36 pm - by lotus · 12 Comments

Wowzers, our mill just received a HUGE load of grist, and I can’t wait for NMC — and all the rest of us — to have a look and a think at all this.

Here, ladies and gents, is Team Wilson’s 17-page motion for sanctions, not to mention its 246 pages of exhibits.

Woohoo, DIG IN, and thank you, Source!

UPDATE: Another morsel.

    Myohmy, among those with a fresh case of the creepy-crawlies:

    Trent Lott

    Ed Peters

    Bobby DeLaughter

    Dicky Scruggs

    Steve Bozeman

    Sam Millette

    “Delmas Capital” (whoever-all that includes)

    Mm-MHH!

    That is strong, strong, strong, and includes mcuh more information than ever disclosed as to the lengths the corrpution and partitpation of Judge Delaughter. What a piece of Sh–t.

  4. Dragoman says:

    Whew! Powerfully worded, especially toward the end. And downright chilling if you happen to be on the receiving end of this thing.

    You can bet there’s a goodish deal of “coal-squeezing” going on (as Phantom likes to say) among the Scruggslings. Dang!

  5. amicu says:

    Everyone needs to read Delaughter’s Memorandum Opinion denying in part and grating in part Scruggs’ Motion for Summary Judgment. The arrogance of this man, who we now know was being brided and aiding and abetting counsel for Scruggs, and his quotes to civility and Thomas Jefferson and references to the confidentiality of the outrageous settlement demands when we now know he showed to counesl for Scruggs is disgusting.

    Amicu-Dickie probably wrote it

    I wonder what Johnny Jones is thinking about his victory last week? It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see what’s coming in his direction, and that’s hearing his own lawyer’s words argued right back at him.

    I am curious about why the federal judgeship for DeLaughter actually never came through. If Scruggs really did have the ability to pull Lott’s strings, why didn’t he do it and get DeLaughter on the bench, even after the Wilson case was decided? What could have been better for Scruggs than having DeLaughter on the federal bench and Scruggs holding this secret over his head forever?

    You’re surprised Dickie reneged on a promise?
    I’m sure he and Lott never intended to perform. Just a little more trickeration.

    Re: Jones – My understanding is that Jones, though counsel for Scruggs in Wilson, was not a party to or privy to the shenanigans of Scruggs, Langston, Balducci, Peters and DeLaughter.

    Didn’t he send the terse and disapproving e-mail to Zach Scruggs regarding the motion on a napkin remark?

    Is it possible at this stage that Jones may be working with as opposed to against Wilson? Making common cause perhaps?

    Re: DeLaughter – There were rumors circulating that Mississippi’s other Senator stopped or stymied the effort to have DeLaughter nominated in its tracks.

  10. curious georgette says:

    I absolutely agree there is not one thing that indicates Jones was involved in the Wilson shenanigans (I would be shocked if he was), which by comparison sort of makes him the “Sparky Lovelace” of the Wilson case. But I think the joint liability argument he just made in his case against counsel that were not directly involved in the Lackey bribery attempt is going to come back hard on him if he gets sued.

    Although he might want to help Wilson at this point, I don’t think he could offer much about the Wilson case itself because of privilege issues. But you’re right, he could be sharing other info.

  11. NMC says:

    curious georgette, an “agent acting for a known principal” (which a lawyer representing a client would be) is not in the same position as a “co-joint venturer (which Sparky Lovelace would be with SKG) from the stand point about being liable. An agent would not be liable for a crime by the principal that the agent did not know about, while a co-joint venture could well be (and in the case of the SKG venturers, has been held to be).
