Don't forget that a lot of the records involved are going to be missing because of the flood.

I think a lot of records were also destroyed by Nagin and Blanco as they prevented the Feds from entering their turf.

So, if Blanco said yes to Martial Law, she would have to hand oversite of LE to the Feds.
That being said, she'd have to tell them "I have 1,000 LE officers" or "I have 1,700 LE officers".
We all know she refused.
She knew that she would be indicted for either murder (overestimating the number of LE to assist) or theft in office (low-balling the number, but paying for more), so what she did was stall and delay so she can pretend she doesn't know.

Has anyone considered the Democratic Party heads contacting Blanco and Nagin and asking them to stall the President in order to harm the Republican Party at the expense of NOLA residents. We know what actually happened. FEMA always makes mistakes and many democrats work for FEMA >>CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY THE MAJOR PLAYER, THE GOVERNOR got to do that.
