Mississippi judicial probe
The Sun Herald reports today, "A South Mississippi FBI agent was taken off an investigation into judicial corruption after he questioned a wealthy lawyer's connections to state Attorney General Mike Moore and U.S. Sen. Trent Lott." As the old jokes says, he had quit preachin' and gone to meddlin'.
One of the principals in the investigation, Paul Minor, was the subject of an unrelated decision by the en banc Fifth Circuit today. The Court affirmed a district court order sanctioning Minor for attempting to levy on a judgment by seizing cash from a K Mart -- after calling the media and making some pretty nasty statements against K Mart. The decision is here. (Thanks to How Appealing for the link.
