Did anyone see this.

NEW ORLEANS -- Two more Jefferson Parish officials are being drawn into the corruption probe dubbed Operation Wrinkled Robe, according to a newspaper report.

The Times-Picayune reports that investigators have issued subpoenas to Parish President Aaron Broussard and 24th District Judge Kernan "Skip" Hand.

The story says the subpoenas are related to political donations made by Bail Bonds Unlimited to Hand's campaigns.

2. good thing he got his say in on MTP before this came out

just as the fascists do, the cat's out of the bag, and it's too late to put it back in

damage already done. Thank you for your service, Mr. Broussard

time to sink back into obscurity

4. Like this is a surprise?

C'mon, this is America....this stuff has gone on forever...it small time stuff. We worry about some local penny-ante corruption when we have a world class corruption working out of the White House? Broussad couldn't match, in a lifetime, what Cheney's white collar corruption earns him in a week.
