All Eyes on Balch & Bingham’s Star Chamber
Our sources tell us that corrupt politician Oliver Robinson, who took $360,000 in bribes paid through Balch & Bingham to allegedly suppress African-Americans from testing their toxic property, will finally plead guilty on September 7, 2017 and that legal representatives of Balch & Bingham partner Joel Gilbert, who allegedly funneled the money to Robinson and was identified as Attorney #1 by al.com, are allegedly vigorously trying to prevent any indictment or prosecution through direct channels in Washington, D.C. But our sources also tell us the bribery investigation will proceed even after the September 7th pleading. Now comes Judge Carole “Star…

Balch’s Secret Star Chamber
Balch & Bingham appears to have shown the public what money and influence peddling can buy: your own, private, secret Star Chamber. Is Balch & Bingham shielding alleged corrupt acts, unscrupulous behavior, and perjury? On Friday, we purchased more documents of the Newsome Conspiracy Case from Alacourt.com, but none of our PDF documents would open and instead showed the message above, “Error. This is a confidential case.” Even the hundreds of pages we previous purchased from the last couple of months were blocked from viewing. (Luckily, we downloaded them.) Maxine, a representative from Alacourt.com, called us back and said the…

Is Balch & Bingham Polluting Southern Company?
Southern Company is a publicly-traded company and they don’t need Balch & Bingham or economic racism as a national sideshow, especially in this post-Charlottesville era. Economic Racism? Environmental Injustice? How did we get here? When we started our investigation into the Burt Newsome Conspiracy case, we never thought this would lead to questioning the moral compass of Southern Company or their subsidiary, Alabama’s most powerful corporate institution, Alabama Power. In an early morning news release today, the Black Warrior Riverkeeper organzation called on Alabama Power to “remove their coal ash from these unlined impoundments by the river and place it…

Alleged Co-Conspirators May Have “Hung Themselves”
The letter to AT&T looks like a deliberate and deceptive tactic to impede justice, to hide evidence, and to protect the alleged co-conspirators. As the Newsome Conspiracy Case garners heavier analysis by outside groups, the alleged co-conspirators and their lawyers, including some Balch & Bingham partners, have apparently become unhinged, as the insidious and eye-popping tricks become exposed. In a five-page letter to Judge Carole Smitherman dated August 8, 2017, Robert M. Ronnlund, an attorney for one of the alleged co-conspirators whines to the Judge about us, a sealed video-deposition, and the negative publicity. Regarding discovery and evidence, Ronnlund wrote,…

Southern Company Should Dump Balch & Bingham
With the explosive and deadly events in Charlottesville, hate and racism are vividly alive in the United States. Southern Company, the large and innovative utility company based in Atlanta, should take a strong and unequivocal stand against racism, against unscrupulous behavior, and dump Balch & Bingham as their outside counsel and lobbyists. On June 23, 2017, the day after corrupt politician Oliver Robinson made a plea agreement in the $360,000 bribery scheme involving Balch & Bingham in which Robinson suppressed and discouraged poor African-Americans in North Birmingham from having their toxic and contaminated property tested, we wrote to Southern Company…

Mueller Can Investigate “Any Crimes that He Might Discover”
During the 2016 election cycle, then-U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions was to endorse Trump at the Russian-linked aerospace company tied to Balch & Bingham. For months we have been providing the Office of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III with detailed information about the alleged scurrilous, unscrupulous, and questionable actions by Balch & Bingham and associates. The Washington Post reported Sunday: Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein said Sunday that the expanding investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election is continuing apace ….[and that] special counsel Robert S. Mueller III can investigate any crimes that he might discover within…

Falsity! Not Telemarketers! Balch & Bingham Flips Out
Balch & Bingham appears to have now done a 180 degree flip right into a larger manure lagoon. With Balch & Bingham under the scrutiny of two federal investigations (one in Alabama and the other in Mississippi), will scrutiny now extend to New Jersey? When we wrote to Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III on May 18th, besides Balch’s ties to the Russia-linked aerospace company Black Hall Aerospace, Inc. a/k/a AAL USA, Inc., we asked him to look at two possible issues arising from the investigation (which Mueller can investigate under his charge). One of them was the case of…
