About a month ago, Senator Jim Justice hosted the owners of the Omni Hotels & Resorts chain for a meeting at The Greenbrier Hotel to explore possibilities for working together.

The meeting, by all accounts, had moments of strain, and lawyers for the Omni owners now allege the senator threatened his leverage over West Virginia’s courtrooms.

Justice, a two-term Republican governor now serving in the U.S. Senate, and the Texas billionaires who own Omni are in conflict over control of The Greenbrier, its 710 guest rooms, four golf courses and casino. [snip]

“At that meeting, the Senator and his counsel threatened WSSH if it continued collection efforts, informing WSSH that the Justice Defendants had influence over or appointed all the state court judges in West Virginia and that WSSH could not get a fair trial in West Virginia,” wrote the lawyers for the holding company in a complaint filed in federal court.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

It all could be resolved if Senator Jim Justice (R-WV) would pay his just debts. But he operates under the principle of his money is his money and your money is his money.

Justice resigns and is replaced by Alex Mooney, who should have been Senator all along if not for the efforts of the GOPe and certain allied idiots.

Oh damn, that was just a dream.
