(53,661 posts)Knew most of it,. but hadn't seen so much put together in just one place before. And thanks for link on this.
I saw one thread on the board about Siegelman and I think the name Scrushy hit a poster who said Siegelman got what was coming to him. I remember that scandal and it was infuriating. This is so obvious, like the Ken Starr prosecutions.
It's troubling some states are so corrupted with the Repugs, I don't know how we can ever get them turned back again to any level of honest government or courts. In the past there were GOP AG's that resisted corruption, but it's so dirty, it's real bananarepublicanism in full stink. They've destroyed just about everything they touched.
The connections in your BFEE piece is never discussed, shows the network, but what percentage of Americans know any of this? Less than 1%, I'll bet, and that includes the crooks themselves.
