Giving the guy 50 million, no contract, apparently not friends, for newspaper clippings, etc. Not sure how much of the money Blake still has.
Would appear Mr Blake might have been/be the bagman for Scruggs. That kind of money went a lot further than the MS legislature. Will we ever hear the real story? IF it involves enough elected people, I do not for a minute believe even the feds will blow the whole thing open.

I’d like to see a photo of Mr. Blake.
Also, there was a much longer article on this subject in The Clarion Ledger earlier in the week, maybe Sunday. I didn’t post it because it was the C-L, and they have such painful posting rules. I knew someone would eventually pick up the story.

"Court records also indicate Scruggs sent $10 million in initial tobacco payments to Blake, passing them through intermediary Joey Langston, a Booneville attorney who shared Scruggs' ride to fortune on Moore's tobacco train."
Yet another example of how the tobacco settlement was never about "public health" it was just a massive democrat campaign donation scheme. The whole global warming hoax is an even bigger example of this.

Rumor is that the head dog running this thing at FBI wants to blow the lid clean off. Like I said... rumor... but it comes from a decent source.
