Sound Off Louisiana founder Robert Burns, who provided a compelling five-part series on why Louisiana Attorney General James D. “Buddy” Caldwell should not be re-elected (see links at bottom of page), pays tribute to Democratic candidate (and strong 3rd place finisher) Geraldine Broussard-Baloney, WWL investigative reporter David Hammer, and many others in critiquing Caldwell’s utterly embarrassing “concession speech,” for which the video is provided below.  Burns also recaps the “screwed up mess” that Caldwell is leaving behind for his successor, Jeff Landry, entailing the CNSI lawsuit and Bruce Greenstein criminal trial.  Burns also urges Attorney General-Elect Jeff Landry to consider retaining one specific Assistant Attorney General whom he assessed as being very knowledgeable of the subject matter over which she has been responsible under Caldwell’s administration.  Finally, Burns provides his own very unique “farewell” to Caldwell!

  1. Foundation laid for CNSI debacle.
  2. Significant expansion of the CNSI debacle.
  3. CNSI attorneys (Lewis Unglesby and Michael McKay) presenting highly substantiated claims of witness tampering.
  4. Compelling evidence that Bruce Greenstein, former DHH Secretary under Gov. Bobby Jindal, has been used by Caldwell as a “chess pawn” for a desperate CNSI defense.
  5. Video evidence of Caldwell’s office recommending that the Louisiana Auctioneer Licensing Board (LALB) pursue outside legal counsel (whom he subsequently crammed down the LALB’s throat as being convicted felon and former State Senator Larry S. Bankston) to pursue the auction license of Louisiana’s ONLY African-American auctioneer, Rev. Freddie Lee Phillips, for his role in reporting suspected payroll fraud on the part of the LALB’s Executive Director (which was subsequently substantiated as payroll fraud by the Louisiana Inspector General’s Office).

 

Good bye, Mr. Caldwell, and good riddance to the most corrupt public official I’ve ever met in my life (and I’ve met quite a few!!!).

Sound Off Louisiana founder Robert Burns informs viewers of the latest scandal to plague Louisiana State Police:  a feature article by The Hayride entailing the corruption (and potential law violations) behind the Louisiana State Troopers Association’s unprecedented endorsement of Democrat John Bel Edwards for Governor.  Burns also provides a brief history of a website he created last year to serve as a central depository for one of the biggest scandals in LSP history entailing Col. Edmonson’s (and others) attempt to steal $55,000 a year and hand it to LSP Colonel Mike Edmonson.  Burns also provides links to Edmonson’s extensive past disciplinary file (violating payroll protocol, crashing police cars, driving “without taking into account your inability to function as required,” etc.) as well as the circumstances entailing him severing all ties with fellow blogger Tom Aswell:

At a gubernatorial forum conducted on the campus of Southern University on Wednesday, November 11, 2015, Republican candidate U. S. Sen. David Vitter forcefully defended his ad’s use of the word “thug” in one of his campaign commercials entailing crime in Louisiana.  Contrary to the forum moderator’s opinion, Vitter insisted the word “thug” is not synonymous with the word “n—–” (a word the moderator used in full).  Sen. Vitter’s opponent, State Rep. John Bel Edwards, D-Amite, declined to attend the forum:
