    Bombshell 1 of 2: Liars! Manipulation of Balch Invoices; Will Feds Re-Open Criminal Case?

    Digital files of evidence from the North Birmingham Bribery Trial show that the federal government appears to have been given the manipulated Balch & Bingham invoice, not the original addressed to Blake Andrews. We have always known Balch & Bingham appears to have integrity issues when it comes to documents and billing records. In 2018, we wrote about how we could not find documentation in the billing records (obtained through the criminal trial) of the harassing letter to the tiny environmental group GASP from Balch-made millionaire Joel I. Gilbert dated December 1, 2014. We wrote at the time: It appears…

    Bombshell 2 of 2: Attempted Assassination of “Fall Guy” David Roberson

    With glass blown exclusively inside the car, the projectile was obviously aimed at the driver’s side and missed Roberson’s head by inches. Sometimes we feel we are living in a John Grisham novel. As ex-Drummond Company executive David Roberson was driving along Highway 280 in Shelby County on Friday morning, someone apparently shot out his rear driver’s window in an alleged assassination attempt. Roberson was driving to his lawyer’s office. And what was Roberson dropping off? A slew of documents that appear to show that Drummond Company and their General Counsel Blake Andrews lied in civil court pleadings. Roberson appears…

    Confusion, Bribes, and the Fall Guy: Is Drummond Company Intentionally Seeking a Criminal Probe?

    Why would Drummond Company ask ex-Drummond executive David Roberson about alleged bribes that have nothing to do with his $75 million lawsuit against Drummond? In a filing last week, Roberson replied to a list of admissions (and denials) that Drummond Company provided. But the reply about an alleged bribe to Balch & Bingham stooge and ex-U.S. Senator Luther Strange is causing a stir: As head of government affairs at Drummond, I never made or recommended any campaign contributions on behalf of the company that were a bribe and/or in any way illegal. The political contributions to Luther Strange were in…

    Blood Money! Alabama Power’s Largest PAC Contribution Helped Provoke “Domestic Terrorist Attack”

    Crosswhite’s inaction proves he is unfit to lead. He should resign or retire and Wall Street must demand so. Unbelievable. Disgusting. Embarrassing. During the 2019-2020 election cycle, the single largest contribution from Alabama Power Employees Federal PAC went to the Rule of Law Defense Fund, the entity that launched robocalls the day before the insurrection mob marched to and desecrated the U.S. Capitol. The robocall stated, “The March to Save America is tomorrow in Washington, D.C….At 1:00 p.m., we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal,” according to The Washington Post. Mark. A.…

    Biden Administration and Congressional Investigations of Alabama Power

    Crosswhite and Alabama Power went a step too far. Southern Company has a problem and his name is Mark A. Crosswhite, the CEO of wholly-owned subsidiary Alabama Power and the former partner of embattled and alleged racist law firm Balch & Bingham. In 2016, two-years after being named head of Alabama Power, Crosswhite rejoiced in being the ultimate and final decision maker. Now, today, Crosswhite appears to be overwhelmed and unable to make decisions as he sought a protective order in ex-Drummond executive David Roberson’s $75 million lawsuit against Drummond and Balch & Bingham. In the 22-page Tale of Two…

    Twenty Years Later, CDLU Continues Fight Regardless of Vicious Hate Crimes

    Today marks the twentieth anniversary of the founding of our public charity the Consejo de Latinos Unidos (CDLU). Co-founded by the late Hortensia Magaña and K.B. Forbes, our organization has worked tirelessly to provide a voice for the voiceless while taking on some of the most powerful but unscrupulous corporations and inept government agencies across the country. Our work these past two decades has provoked vicious hate crimes, and racist messages and emails. And in Alabama, the reaction is no different. BanBalch.com was a simple and bland website when launched by the CDLU in March of 2017 to help bring…
