Big Luther and John Rodgers

Sessions needs to stay as far away from this as possible, but with multiple Balch and Bingham lawyers working in his AG office its gonna be interesting...

Whitmire: Will Jeff Sessions's Balch connections hang up corruption probe?

Yep

Look for them to bury Robinson with the bribers getting away scot free, especially with Sessions as AG...

Literally. I give 5/2 odds that Oliver "commits suicide" by shooting himself in the back of the head two times.

I hope not.

My first thought after reading and watching the video was that Oliver never sees the courtroom, because he'll be dead.

If something happens, it wont be suicide... Even if it appears that way.

Some suicide victims are very persistent. A major figure in the 1960s Billy Sol Estes case was found dead in a Texas corn field. He had been shot in the lower right back three times using a bolt action rifle found at the scene. The local sheriff declared it an obvious suicide and ordered the victim's pickup truck sent to be thoroughly cleaned, inside and out. No further investigation was pursued.

This thread is officially stupid now.

Robinson pleads guilty. Who does he take down with him?

Can't believe I named my first born (dog) after him

I'll bet on No One. US Attorney walks away whistling, as though the Underpants Gnomes magically produced the cash, and no one else is ever indicted.

If there is an indictment, I'd pick Ray Watts via the Drummond/Clean Air connection. Yields a sacrifice without actually sending anyone who matters to the cabal to prison. So Ray can take the fall for them twice.

I can think of worse outcomes.

Actually, I suspect that Oliver is going to have to deliver the goods. He's got an awful lot hanging over his head to get away with double talk and implicating the small fry. Archibald is all over this story, if they try to dance a little sidestep he's going to raise sixteen kinds of a stink.

Before we start piling on Mike Thompson, here's the very last sentence in the article:

"His family foundation committed $500,000 to help UAB build its football operations center."
