quote:

ov. Jeff Landry, R-La., and Attorney General Liz Murrill, R-La., called for a federal investigation into lawfare from officials in New Orleans who somehow secured a grand jury indictment against Murrill for sending them letters notifying them they had broken the law.

quote:

Murrill was indicted by a grand jury in Democrat-run Orleans Parish on 16 felony counts for malfeasance and intimidation earlier this month, facing 80 years in jail. The indictment came after Murrill informed New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno and other city officials that they could be removed from office if they continued to refuse to comply with a state law consolidating Orleans Parish’s civil and criminal court clerks into a single position.

quote:

Murrill said I was indicted, threatened with arrest, and given a $400,000 bond.
I invite everyone to compare that bond to those routinely set in Orleans Parish by this same judge for people charged with second-degree murder. I can tell you the answer: it’s about $268,000.”

quote:

Murrill said she believes this was a “malicious prosecution” and that there are a multitude of crimes potentially committed by city officials, including, “interfering with a statewide election for federal office, conspiring to violate civil rights laws, conspiracy to rig a grand jury proceeding, conspiracy to interfere with a grand jury proceeding, obstruction of justice, wire fraud, injuring public records, malfeasance, and public intimidation.”

quote:

Landry is mulling a special session of the legislature to look at ways lawmakers can “take more control over the court system” in the city, since city officials are incapable of self-governance.


Now you have national attention.

Great job Nola voters,

I didn't think you could elect someone dumber than Teedy or more slimy than EWE. But you did.That team in city hall has bitten the hand of one of the people in Baton Rouge who tried to support them.

What were they trying to accomplish by that grand jury ploy? I can't figure it out.

Is there something in the water that lowers the IQ of elected officials in NOLA?

It's not in the water.

It's ghetto.

This investigation is at least partly the product of the Tiger Droppings thread.

Charges Dropped thread

Read the first page, people saying nothing is over.

The complete ineptitude and total miscalculation by Moreno, the judge, the attorney, and NO city council is hilarious.

They really thought that they were in a position of strength when doing this. And for one of the most inconsequential issues, merging of court judges, and for what? It really will be fun to watch this unfold. These idiots unzipped their fly and now you have the AG, the Governor (who is close friends with Trump) and more than likely the FBI about to crawl inside the city of New Orleans.

This will end up being a good thing for the city, because the corruption will get weeded out. But, unfortunately, the people there will still vote in the same morons they always have been.

Unless.... the real motive was the radical Democrat marxists wanted to get rid of Moreno, so they can install their new socialist democrat mayor??? This may be the true intent.

Moreno is good friends with JP Morrell. Judgement isn’t her strong suit.

I just read up on the top Democrat Socialist candidates, and Pastor Greg Manning lost outright to JP Morrell for city council. He's received 23% of the vote, which is the largest vote total for DSA candidates so far. Maybe this is a way to get Moreno out, and prop up their preferred socialist.

It also appears that New Orleans has elected 1 socialist so far. Gabriella Biro was elected to the Orleans Parish School Board (says a lot) in 2024.

The mayor certainly seems to have gotten such bad advice that if an attorney was involved in the advice-giving, then it seems like it must have been intentionally bad advice.

Not sure I would blame Marxists, (tho they surely deserve any thrown their way), instead I wonder if the same self interest groups that constantly undermined and exploited Ray Nagin's own weaknesses are at work here?

(IMHO Moreno is, sadly for what's left of New Orleans, far more arrogant and clueless than Nagin about who her real political enemies are.)

Imagine lobbing this criticism at the Louisiana Governor while defending city administrators in New Orleans.
