Matrix Meltdown: “Sloppy Joe” and “Jittery Jeff” Mud Wrestle in Florida
“Sloppy Joe” Perkins, the infamous founder of the obscure political consulting firm Matrix, and his once-protégé “Jittery Jeff” Pitts have made headlines again. The Guardian published an investigative report on the ugly he-said, he-said fighting between the two men of mythical fame. After a document dump landed in journalists’ laps, the two mud wrestlers smeared each other. The Guardian writes: Perkins declined to say whether he is the source of the documents leaked to journalists but verified that the records are legitimate. He confirmed that Matrix was able to locate the records on Pitts’ former laptop. Perkins blames Pitts and…

Did Federal Judge Abdul K. Kallon agree to a secret deal to keep Alabama Power “unmentionable” during the North Birmingham Bribery Trial because of his past financial agreements and possible embarrassing personal behavior? After dropping a bomb by exposing the multi-million-dollar secret contracts between Alabama Power and “Sloppy Joe” Perkins, the investigative news site DonaldWatkins.com has landed another punch: Abdul Kallon was an attorney with the prestigious Birmingham-based law firm of Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, LLP (Bradley Arant) from 1994 until President Barack Obama nominated him to the federal bench on July 31, 2009.

Balch & Bingham Loses Tens of Millions for $242,000
Since 2017, how much has Balch lost in the aggregate? $26 million? $57 million? $100 million? or More? More than once, we have paused and asked ourselves, “Is Balch really this stupid?“ The autopsy of Balch partner William D. Lineberry appears to show that the alleged financial woes of Balch & Bingham may have impacted the esteemed legacy partner and caused Lineberry to commit suicide. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Balch’s lobbying efforts in Washington, D.C. have plummeted. From 2017 to 2021, Balch has lost over $4,000,000 in direct lobbing revenue compared to a high in 2016 of…

Autopsy Report: Balch Partner’s Suicide Tied to Alleged Financial Woes at Embattled Law Firm
Since 2017, where in the hell has Balch’s incompetent and silent leadership been? Lineberry deserved better. The autopsy report of Balch & Bingham partner William D. Lineberry, known as “Bo” to those close to him, is heartbreaking. According to the report, Lineberry’s wife told law enforcement that he was suffering depression and that they were “having a lot of financial issues.” What could be the cause of these financial issues? John Morley of The Practice writes: Law firms tend to be owned by their partners rather than by investors. And this makes the partners unusually sensitive to decline. As a…
