Well, What Evil Works In The Hearts Of Men?

Yesterday the U.S. Attorney in Shreveport, Donald Washington, announced the indictment of two Friends of State Senator Francis Thompson and his brother. The charge mail fraud involving public servants profiting from the sale of land to the state of Louisiana (i.e. Poverty Point Reservoir). All three, Michael L. “Mike” Thompson, Terry D. Denmon, and William R. “Billy” Coenen, Jr.have lawyered up. “Mike” Thompson age 59 has retained M. Allyn Stroud 48 year’s old of Weiner, Weiss & Madison of Shreveport. Terry D. Denmon age 64 has retained Carey B. Underwood 32 year’s old of Davenport, Files and Kelly of Monroe. “Billy” Coenen, Jr. age 61 has retained the one and only “We’ll clean their clock in court” J. Michael Small (age unknown) of Alexandria, who I believe represents Mr. Thompson in a previous indictment.

So, how long will it take the federales to turn one or more of these “honest and dedicated public servants” and get them to role over on their “decent” colleagues? How long before the second shoe falls on other Friends of Francis Thompson (FOF), other members of his family, and possibly the Senator himself? Only the Shadow knows and he ain’t talk’n r’ght now!.
