I'm hearing it from too many directions. I think something is going on.

This wouldn't break my heart.

I hope this is true. But, for now I am going to have to file this under "If something is too good to be true, then it probably isn't true."

The Bruno-Kahn thing seemed like enough to warrant a look.

I'm with the folks who are chalking this up to wishful thinking. Heaven knows how some rumors get started. However, if you ever played the game rumors as a child where a statement is passed from one person to another through a long line of folks and then you hear how the statement is mangled when it comes out the other end, then you can understand some of the mechanics involved.

Usually a lawsuit means the local US Attorneys Office. If that's the case, it should be pointed out that the current US attorney in Birmingham received his Law degree from Alabama.

That isn't quite right. If there is a large scale investigation, it could very well be conducted out of the attorney general's office in DC and not local US atty office. Happens regurlarly. For instance, the civil rights division of DOJ conducts investigations around the country.
