Observer, you have no idea how hard I’ve searched for a photo of P.L. Blake.

Does anyone have a photograph of P.L. Blake that could be posted or linked to?

What does the man look like?

And, if you had $50 million in the bank, as it is reported that Blake received $50 million, would you be sitting around waiting on the FBI to knock on your door, or would you have already relocated to a tropical country that has no extradition agreement with the US?

The tobacco settlement was the result of McCain, Clinton and Lott. I believe the chances are fair (20 %) that Scruggs is pardoned by President McCain. I believe Scruggs will serve 85 % of sentence (4 years and 3 months).

I am sensing posturing for the future by the usual suspects and their apologists — a phony feign of remorse —characterization of these prosecutions and sentencing as nothing good for society(even in the sense of righting wrongs and cleaning up a den of crooks), and most importantly, that such is an ISOLATED incident, with an expectation that the other related or similar matters will be swept under the rug. Do these folks, like Mike Moore, know something we don’t? Is there something in the works behind the scenes ($$$$) that will accomplish the above? Eg, pardons for the sentenced? Replacement of currrent US Attys with ones who will not follow up on the current investigations and future prosecutions? IF left to Hood, would anything get done?

I would like to see federal indictments in the other related and similar matters SOON. Before November. I am getting a bad feeling about the remaining business to be attended to.

Kudos for Folo.com. This has been an interesting and informative source during these trying times. Like Judge Biggers I don’t believe its over with. Proof positive if you lay with the dogs you will surely get fleas (no insult dogs intended).

Okay Jim. That’s it. No way to defend you on that one. I would have thought if you were a law enforcement officer you would be glad the law was enforced. Maybe Acker was right. Maybe you’re just a so called.
