| Chase Tristian Espy: Facing child-solicitation charge |
Spring break has come and gone in Alabama, but the season is shaping up to be anything but a break for Birmingham's Balch & Bingham law firm -- with two former associates set for criminal trials, according to a report at banbalch.com. Writes Publisher K.B. Forbes, under the headline "Balch Bonanza: Spring Fever and Two Criminal Trials:
Welcome back from a wonderful Spring Break!
This spring two criminal trials are set to begin. One local case is against the alleged pedophile and ex-Balch attorney Chase T. Espy and the other is a federal case against Paul Daigle, the ex-CEO of Balch’s former client, Black Hall Aerospace.
While Stan Blanton, Balch & Bingham’s managing partner, was busy patting himself on the back with a make-believe award for “diversity and inclusion,” the alleged racist law firm among others appears to be under federal investigation.
Spring fever has arrived, and the Three Stooges (Balch, Alabama Power, and Drummond) are under intense scrutiny.
Independent sources confirmed that the feds are apparently investigating Larry, Moe, and Curly. And now investigators and national media are looking deep into the connections between Alabama Power, Balch, Sloppy Joe and the Matrix Meltdown.
The Matrix Meltdown has caused a state investigation in Florida over alleged “ghost candidates” and now sources claim, the feds are involved looking at a multi-state probe.
And disgraced ex-U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town may have caused this cascade.
How does Town fit into the picture? He's front and center, Forbes reports:
Since Town looked the other way on corruption, the fact is there is an alleged “don’t ask, just cut the check” bribery ring among the most powerful entities in Alabama.
And for those who doubt the possible existence of a bribery ring, just look at the money-laundering and corrupt entity Alliance for Jobs and the Economy (AJE) used to funnel more than $360,000 to ex-State Representative Oliver Robinson in the North Birmingham Bribery Scandal.
Many of those that donated had no idea what it really was for and who was getting paid. They appear to have “just cut the check.”
An alleged bribery ring, secret star chambers, alleged indemnity deals, secret multimillion-dollar contracts, and non-disclosure agreements appear to be the tools of a horrific criminal enterprise that has not only corrupted the legislative and executive branches of government in Alabama, but the judicial branch as well.
The feds need to clean this mess up and put the perpetrators behind bars.

That Espy case needs to be watched closely. How does a child predator go from one of the best-known law firms in the state to the governor's office to criminal indictment?
very strange, indeed. And he even helped bring a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. He was not a bottom-of-the-totem-pole kind of guy.
You say body heat, what if it's excess body odors?
Prominent attorney with notably notorius clients has been disbarred!
Among Moseley’s most notorious clients are Kelly Meggs and Stewart Rhodes, two Oath Keeper ringleaders charged with seditious conspiracy; Aaron Whallon Wolkind and Enrique Tarrio, both Proud Boys bosses, and Ali Alexander, a Stop the Steal rally founder. It was not immediately clear how the bar action would affect their cases. The lawyer, planning to fight the decision, told Politico he’d have to “wait” to comment. https://www.thedailybeast.com/oath-keepers-jan-6-lawyer-jonathan-moseley-disbarred-in-virginia-over-avalanche-of-professional-violations
Also looks like someone named Ali Alexander who appears to be suing Nancy Pelosi and numuerous others needs a new attorney as the palintiff's attorney appears to be the recently disbarred: https://unicourt.com/case/pc-db5-alexander-v-pelosi-et-al-1100297

@7:06 -- Thanks for sharing very interesting news re: Mr. Alexander. Wonder if this is a sign that Merrick Garland is starting to move forward on the Jan. 6 case. He's been awfully quiet up til now.
