MS: Judge Says Dem AG Hood Conspired With Now Convicted Felon

Do you think that Barack Obama will accept Jim Hood’s vote given all that Mr. Hood has been involved in these last several months? That wouldn’t be change worth believing in if a politician linked to convicted felons through campaign contributions was a leader in a particular state for a national candidate.  Give now to stop the state and local Democrat Dream Team – otherwise you’ll never know what you get until it’s too late.  Yet another reason to support the RSLC – stopping the Democrat state and local dream team.  From the AP:

Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood wrongly conspired with prominent trial attorney Richard “Dickie” Scruggs to skirt a court order in a case involving Hurricane Katrina insurance claims, a federal judge has ruled.

Referring to Hood as a “so-called law enforcement officer,” U.S. District Judge William Acker said the attorney general helped his “close confidant” Scruggs avoid handing over stolen insurance company documents that Scruggs wanted for lawsuits against State Farm Fire and Casualty Co.

Acker did not recommend any criminal or civil action against Hood in the opinion, filed Thursday.

But the judge cited Scruggs and two whistleblowers for civil contempt and ordered them to pay $65,000 in attorney fees to an Alabama company that worked for State Farm and sued in Birmingham after its records were taken.

In a news release Friday, Hood said he planned to file a motion asking Acker “to revise such uncalled for derogatory conclusions.”

Hood accused Acker of interfering with a grand jury investigation and said judicial rules do not allow for “unnecessary attacks” on court officials.

Hood’s office did not respond to questions about the personal relationship between the attorney general and Scruggs, who separately is facing up to five years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiring to bribe a Mississippi judge over $26.5 million in legal fees related to Katrina cases.
