Today, the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly approved the nominations of Merrick Garland as U.S. Attorney General and Michael Regan as head of the Environmental Protection Agency. Alabama Power, Drummond Company, and Balch & Bingham, the Three Stooges who draped themselves around the Trump Administration and Balch Zombie Jeff Sessions, will now have to face the loud and thundering music. Alabama Power and its CEO Mark A. Crosswhite had the audacity to claim they were victims of the North Birmingham Bribery Scandal and went a step too far in claiming they had “no involvement in these matters.” Now the U.S. Department of…

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…

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…

In one week, the Biden Administration enters office and the first order of business will be to investigate Drummond Company and the alleged secret toxic landsite known as Ketona Lakes. Will Biden’s EPA and U.S. Department of Justice force Drummond to finally atone for their sins? For over 35 years, the site of two former quarries has been hidden from public view. Located in Jefferson County, not far from North Birmingham and smack in the middle of the City of Tarrant, the Ketona Lakes are quarries now filled with water. The water is allegedly extremely contaminated and toxic. Sources tell…

All that was missing was a brown paper bag. On Friday evening, 48 hours after the original filing, the Alabama Supreme Court denied Drummond Company’s emergency motion to stay discovery in ex-Drummond executive David Roberson’s $75 million civil lawsuit. Depositions, production of documents, and discovery shall proceed in the rebirth of the North Birmingham Bribery Case. The uncontrolled panic continues. Let’s be frank: the rebirth has created a stir because the smelly and decaying skeletons are about to come out of the closet in relationship to alleged dirty bribes, corruption, and collusion. Sources tell us that Alabama Power’s outside criminal…

We are not surprised by the uncontrolled panic exhibited by Drummond Company and Alabama Power in the past 48 hours caused by the rebirth of the North Birmingham Bribery Case. But still, the developments are stunning. On Wednesday evening, Drummomd Company filed an emergency motion to stay discovery in the rebirth case with the Alabama Supreme Court before the local judge in Jefferson County had even ruled on their emergency motion. Drummond attempted to leap-frog local jurisdiction. Earlier that day, Alabama Power and Alabama Power CEO Mark A. Crosswhite objected to discovery and intent for deposition requests by Roberson. In…

The Admissions and Denials by Roberson indicate more stones need to be overturned. Last week, we, the CDLU, strongly suggested that Balch & Bingham, Drummond Company and Alabama Power look at the rebirth of the North Birmingham Bribery Case from a long-term, bird’s-eye, big picture perspective. According to well-read legal blog Legal Schnauzer, Drummond Company dumped a slew of discovery requests on ex-Drummond executive David Roberson. Included in that dump, Drummond hit Roberson with a request for admissions, and the answers appear to be earth shattering. Schnauzer posted some of the admissions and answers, writing: Admit that during your employment…

A desperate move by Drummond? David Roberson originally filed his $75 million lawsuit in the spring of 2019. More than a year and a half later, Judge Tamara Johnson denied Drummond Company’s Motion to Dismiss and their follow-up interlocutory motion. The rebirth of the North Birmingham Bribery Case has shaken the most powerful players in Alabama. Today, Drummond Company filed a Writ of Mandamus with the Alabama Supreme Court and an Emergency Stay to block discovery and depositions in the most anticipated civil case for 2021. Drummond, which has foolishly tried to cross-dress the coal company as a law firm,…
