And yet still more on the Scruggs indictment
And yet still more on the Scruggs indictment Who was the “insider” in the FBI’s investigation of the alleged Scruggs bribery conspiracy? I think I’ve got the question right: who, rather than if. If you read the indictment and see the verbatim quotes of statements made to Judge Lackey, you have to conclude he was…

Getting a wiretap on a law…
