But it is Henry Mouton’s relationship with certain current and former officials in Jefferson Parish that interests me the most. Following is a letter from Henry Mouton to Angela Pacaccio where in May, 2011 he was just sooooooo helpful with the Tarpon Rodeo in Grand Isle. Ms Pacaccio is privy to a myriad of places where bodies and bones are buried. (H/T Patricia)
I’m shaking the tree folks because it appears next week at a local courthouse near you, a new band called Freaky Freddie and the Heebe Jeebies will be debuting their first song the Fifth Amendment Blues. As soon as I get more info I’ll pass it along.

Here we go, folks! The Times-Picayune reports Henry Mouton begins plea talks to resolve landfill bribery charges! Paul Rioux has the story:
Henry Mouton, a former state Wildlife and Fisheries commissioner, is trying to negotiate a plea deal to resolve federal charges that he took $464,000 in bribes from a rival landfill owner in a conspiracy to close the Old Gentilly Landfill, according to a court filing Tuesday.
Mouton’s attorney cited the plea talks in a motion seeking to postpone an April 21 pretrial conference and a May 9 trial date.
“A plea agreement has not been finalized and defendant desires to continue the pretrial conference and the trial date to allow the completion of these discussions,” wrote attorney Mary Olive Pierson, who said prosecutors support postponing the court dates until after May 15.
U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman had not ruled on the motion by the close of business Tuesday evening, according to online court records.
Slabbed reports. You tell us who is sleeping well tonight!
I have a small confession to make. After I wrote yesterday’s posts Continue reading “Lets connect a few dots as we feature James Gill’s last column on Fred Heebe.”
Rut roh. But look at who the Judge and Magistrate are. Lemelle, who could fuck up a one man rock fight, and Roby, whose husband reportedly has been under investigation by the FBI, which is why she has recused herself from federal criminal matters.
I’ll let our readers identify the nukes including who has been left out and why that is important. Fire 1, Waste Management’s counterclaim, which could “cost Jefferson Parish millions” according to the consensus of the Slabbed legal team, especially as more of the shit house details come out on how the River Birch “fishing expedition” was conducted.
Fire 2: Like the FBI, Waste Management is firmly grabbing hold of Team Heebe’s balls. Here is the River Birch motion to quash a Waste Management subpoena of their records. I for one, would love to see the contents of the Dutchie Connick file identified in the Government’s filings in the related criminal investigation. Time will tell what River Birch is trying to hide from Waste Management in the civil case.
We’ll be doing a couple of follow-up posts as time allows.

Make no mistake folks, this scandal will end up leading not only to John Alario but also to Former Gov Mike Foster, Billy Tauzin, David Vitter and likely Team Landrieu. Steve Theriot and daughter Wanda were last seen with doughnut glaze on their chins.
Let’s kick off the coverage with Rich Rainey at the Times Picayune who did a great job connecting Mouton to Fred Heebe. It is an open secret that former Gov Mike Foster’s administration was openly for sale so this little gem from Murphy himself at the end of Rainey’s piece was priceless: Continue reading “The Mouton Indictment ripples across the media. Team FBI tightens its grip on Fred Heebe’s balls.”
Gordon Russell has the skinny for the Times Picayune. It seems the Old Gentilly Landfill connection to the River Birch saga is beginning to manifest itself. We’ll see if the whore hopping V man, Diaper David Vitter’s name pops up down the line on this general topic.
This could well be the evidence of another crime Team Letten referred to earlier in a pleading before Judge Ginger on the River Birch search saga.
This is not a good sign for Teams Ward/Heebe IMHO as I have little doubt who was making the payoffs.
Another politician that is likely keeping a very concerned eye on these events, especially the prospect of low-level crooks like Mouton turning state’s evidence is John Alario.

It was NAAS, and not Colonel Mustard, who launched the River Birch version of CLUE® with this question posted to Judge Berrigan orders River Birch to file a floor plan with the Court:
Which “team” is it that reviews seized documents and records to cull out the truly privileged, confidential or unrelated documents not covered by the warrant?
Pull a card from the Government’ Opposition to Return of Seized Property and Incorporated Memorandum (scribd format below) and the game begins with this “clue”:
Special Agent Bezet and other agents made every lawful effort to separate what was believed to be attorney-client privileged material for a late inspection by a taint team. As noted in Petitioner’s Memorandum, a “clean team” was on scene to collect items from Peter Butler, Sr.’s office at 2000 Belle Chasse Hwy.
The Government rolled the dice and submitted clues about “who done it” in Attachment B to the Warrant authorizing the search of the River Birch office building AKA Exhibit H in the Opposition (text-only Exhibits incorporated with brief in scribd format below): Continue reading ““CLUE” – the River Birch version”
