DOJ Denies Appeal for Disclosure of Ed Peters Immunity Deal---Do they Know It's Disclosed in Kings of Tort?
Surprise, surprise! After seven months, the DOJ denied my appeal seeking disclosure of Ed Peters' immunity deal with the government. Here is the letter denying the appeal.
Previous posts about DOJ's refusal to disclose Peters' immunity deal are here, here, here, and here.
In the last of the above-linked posts I point out that former DOJ prosecutor Tom Dawson disclosed the terms of Peters' deal in Kings of Tort, which Dawson co-authored with Jackson political observer Alan Lange:
On page 199, the book states that in exchange for immunity, “Peters would surrender his law license, resign from the bar permanently, and forfeit all monies received from Scruggs and Langston, in addition to
[throwing Bobby DeLaughter under the bus]testifying truthfully.” That’s it.
The fact that DOJ continues to refuse to produce the agreement when one of its former prosecutors disclosed the terms of the deal in a book makes me want to run out and join the Tea Party. You've got to love the bureaucracy.
Needless to say, I am not going to waste my time filing a lawsuit trying to confirm what Dawson disclosed in his book.
