DeLaughter comes clean(er) with the FBI
DeLaughter’s second FBI interview memo closes with passages that makes me wonder, again, why this was placed in evidence by the Scruggs team:
At the time, DELAUGHTER did not think that PETERS’ and LANGSTON’s help to receive judgeship position was influencing, but looking back upon it now, he believes that PETERS and LANGSTON did attempt to influence him. [Although, he expressly denied he was influenced by Peters.] DELAUGHTER agreed that a federal judgeship is a thing of value.
