Republican state legislator Todd Warner investigated allegations of a kickback scheme that included a mystical business, and is peeked at the possibility that he wore wires for federal authorities five years ago.

“I think it’s very unsettling that there are members who may be doing that behind the scenes. For me, it’s a tactic that Democrats pulled, just like they pulled President Trump. Here, it’s ongoing in Tennessee. Warner, owner of the Chapel Hill farmer and construction company, said:

The court’s filing identified three confidential sources in support of federal prosecutors in an investigation into former House Speaker Glenn Casada and his formed aide Cade Conten. However, the total number of informants involved in the investigation is unknown, and the government refuses to identify any of them. Prosecutors say the information is privileged and they don’t plan on making a call to testify, so they don’t need to identify them.

In January 2021, FBI agents stormed the home and office of Warner, Casada, Koren and former Chattanooga Rep. Robin Smith. They also looked into the office of former Kingston MP Kent Calphy, but he is not the target of their investigation.

Cothren and Casada are accused of implementing a kickback scheme to support former staff members after former staff members were fired after participating in racist and sexist text messages in 2019. Months later, Casada resigned after an unconfident vote by the House Republican Caucus.

According to federal documents, Koslen secretly ran the vendor Phoenix Solutions, his identity would not be known, and Casada and Smith turned business to him from Republican House members. Cothren was paid nearly $52,000 to do component mailers for Congressmen.

The House Republican Caucus also hired a vendor that is said to be run by a fake “Matthew Phoenix,” and paid about $140,000 to do the caucus work.

Therefore, Warner took office four years ago in the dark clouds surrounding him, but has hardly spoken publicly about the FBI investigation. He has not been charged, but continues to work with a political consulting company called Dixieland Strategies.

A trustworthy conservative with most measures, Warner hasn’t been on Speaker Sexton’s Christmas gift list after throwing out Bill Lee’s private school voucher bill for over a year.

He is also not tight during Randy McNally during Randy McNally after calling him to resign in a revelation that sent a message containing a heart emoji to a young gay man on social media two years ago. McNally emerged from a somewhat unharmed situation after Senate Republicans gave him a vote of confidence.

Many delays, the trials of Casada and Cothren are scheduled for April 22nd, and talking about the Capitol will be postponed before Congress begins. Otherwise, they may not have a quorum as about 20 lawmakers and general assembly employees have been summoned by defense to testify.

In their latest application, lawyers for Casada and Koren say federal prosecutors have refused to wear wires, secretly record party meetings and identify the confidential informant who provided the documents. A similar lawyer to Casada says they need to know the identities of those people so they can call them to the witness stand.

The submission indicates that Speaker Sexton or someone from his office likely provided a secret recording to the Fed. People imagine all sorts of scenarios when trying to grasp the IDs of the three main informants.

Sexton declined to comment on the latest filing and said it had not discussed the pending lawsuit. However, he recently admitted that he was among the roughly 20 lawmakers summoned to defend in January. He was uncertain as he was helping out with the prosecutor.

House majority leader William Lambers also refused to say whether he was wearing a wire or had a secretly recorded conversation for the federal government.

Some of Warner’s stimulation could be a bit misdirected.

McNally, a Republican from Oak Ridge, wore wires for federal agents in Operation Rocky Top for three years in 1986 as part of an investigation into the state’s bingo industry and the council’s bribery. He has been hailed as a hero ever since.

The investigation has resulted in 50 convictions, including one, including House Democrat leader Tommy Burnett. Knoxville Democrat Ted Ray Miller, like Secretary of State Gentry Crowell, committed suicide.

This is what we consider: why should Sexton be treated differently when working with the Fed to resolve corruption?

The warning is that McNally recorded only lobbyists, not fellow lawmakers.

One day they may name the office of Sexton speakers, depending on the outcome of the case. Or, somehow, if a similar case collapses to Casada, everything could fall apart.

Legislative Democrats refused to say much about Thursday’s issue, except they wouldn’t be surprised if someone had worn the wire.

Of course, a secret recording device may not be the old recording device. Instead of risking wearing wires and microphones around Capitol Hill, informants simply press the recording button on their phone.

So don’t hug everyone at Cordell Hull and see if they’re wired or not. There is already enough illness around that joint and it does not need to spread.

Egypt is not the only denial

The House and Senate Judiciary Committees passed Sexton’s constitutional amendments this week, giving judges discretion to bail on a long list of intense crimes.

Sexton took the unusual step of attending a house meeting and discussed how he would support the measure as it would help Mom and Pop bail companies compete with businesses.

He also said Steve Crump, director of the District Attorney General’s Council, that the bail bond company kicks people out of prison for a dollar. It may be if they want to starve or put one defendant’s company in danger. But it’s not really related.

The idea is that judges should be able to repeatedly break the law and refuse to set bail for those who put society at risk. Sounds logical.

The problem is that there is this nipping thing called the “estimation of innocence.” And even if a hearing of possible causes is used to determine whether someone may have committed a crime, they are not exactly all, not all, for justice.

Things can get a little complicated, especially when the ju-describers start guming their works.

Congress passed a constitutional amendment to bail in 2024, but in the second round, the House and Senate must vote in two-thirds before moving on to the next governor’s vote.

Sexton is likely to envelop the house. Most focus is on 33 members of the Senate, including Democrats such as GA Hardaway and Memphis Town Councillor Joe.

The measure, along with two Democrats Sara Kyle and London Lamar, passed Senate Judiciary 6-3 6-3. The story of the hallway is that one senator turned over after seeing a colleague’s vote on the bill. There is no reason to sink yourself at this point due to the lost cause.

Still, winning two-thirds of that August body could be much tougher than the Hang M High House.

Open the boy’s record?

In the wake of this year’s shooting at Antioch High School, Lambers amended the bill by Memphis Republican Rep. John Gillespie, allowing public access to the records of a juvenile accused of a heinous crime.

Antioch High Shooter, who died the day after shooting a girl, reportedly had a criminal history and threatened to hurt people at school.

“We know there’s history there. You and all the other Tennessees believe you have the right to know what their previous criminal history is when you have a boy inside the school system that kills someone,” Lambers said Thursday.

Such information will allow the media and others to know how he entered school and killed the girl, Lambers said.

Another part of the bill could force the school system to communicate to parents about threats within the school.

This is a major departure from recent events in which Metro police refused to leak the writings of the person who killed six people at Covenant School in the Green Hills area of ​​Nashville. The Davidson County Prime Minister ruled that the work belongs to the contracted parents and is exempt from the state’s public record laws, serious judicial stretches, but did not capture the rage of the General Assembly.

Shark-infected sea

Registered in Presidential Potential, Sen. Bo Watson encourages Tennessee teachers to use the name Mount McKinley, primarily a geographic teacher, when referring to Denali, an indigenous name that replaces McKinley Bay and McKinley.

Watson, a Republican and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, filed a resolution this week in support of President Donald Trump’s executive order.

Watson acknowledges that the change does not meet the Tennessee curriculum and says it needs to be adjusted.

“This is an executive order from the president,” Watson said, not unlike the bill passed by the Senate this week. The order relying on the Centers for Disease Control and not the World Health Organization declares a pandemic. Who did it portray?

Is it okay for President Trump to at least put the Gulf of Mexico on his maps and classrooms? Otherwise, you may not know where you’re swimming in the countryside riviera. It should be noted that the Aztecs began calling the Gulf of Mexico and the waters of question centuries ago, and the map began to refer to it in 1550.

“Some skyscrapers in the Gulf of Mexico / I’m going to work on vacation / ooh yeah.”

One day I thought I might become president, but “Like everything else, those old crazy dreams went a bit.”
