Yesterday, “Anonymous” filed a lawsuit in Carlton Reeves courtroom against Phil Bryant, Delbert Hosemann and Jim Hood. At issue is subpoenas issued to uncover possible campaign finance violations at the tail end of the most recent party primary.

We’ve covered two incidents that may have been involved – the first involving a mailer sent against Mayor Mary Hawkins and the other attacking Republicans over the flag issue.

TRO Motion in Anonymous v. Bryant et al
The attorney listed on behalf of “Anonymous” is Graham Carner of Jackson.
