Is Moore concerned about blowback from the Scrugg's funny money dealings with the tobacco settlement? Or might Moore have been involved in some of the strange dealings himself?
Exactly!
So the strings might just reach the Hillary $....w/o the big tobacco donor $$ her crash and burn may be even more a possibility!!! This is ripe for that lawyer writer’s next book, unless he is involved too! LOL
Grisham is a liberal.
$50 million?
Whoo-boy!
It’s going to be interesting to watch this story unfold.
Thank you for the link!
I see he went to State. ;o)
Neither do I.
"Scruggs' role was featured in a book and the Hollywood film, "The Insider."
Hmmmmm...Dickie might find out what it really feels like to be an "insider."
Running a google search on this Blake feller brings up some interesting blogs and message boards. I read that Blake once owned the largest grain elevator in Texas. Where in Texas????
Blake is connected up the wazoooo.
I tried to find a pic of him earlier, but wasn’t able to.
I didn’t try that hard, though...my time here is short.
When I have more time, I’m going to do a bit of research on this feller.
It certainly seems that he’s in the thick of it all.

reading through some of the cases against scruggs right now, I am not sure what to think, but I strongly suspect the entire tobacco class-action process, from the start in MS (ag moore) to the national level had to be corrupt.

can i post that link? it is gannett.
re post 30 - can I post a link to a gannett site? don’t want to do so if not allowed.
Look at who the big trial lawyers donate to. They make make donations to republicans but they are a drop in the bucket compared to the democrats. The main attorneys general were all democrats. We are talking billions of dollars directly benefiting democrat politicians and judges.
That link is to a picture of Dickie Scruggs, not P.L. Blake. Blake is much older. He’s been living in Alabama for the last 4-5 years, right outside Birmingham.
I hope that they reinstate hanging for this bunch!
LLS
The tobacco lawsuits were never about healthcare....this has always been about redistribution of wealth.
When I first saw that pic, I thought he looked eerily like Dickie. ;o)
Thank you for trying to find the pic.
I haven’t found one yet.
