#1 The WSJ added this: Mr. Langford was accused of telling major Wall Street banks J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Bank of America Corp. and the now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers to include Blount's investment banking firm if they wanted to handle the county's bond work...Mr. Blount's Montgomery firm was accused of making $7.1 million off the bond deals with Jefferson County. The bonds were part of risky financing of sewer debt that has grown to more than $3 billion and pushed Alabama's most populous county to the brink of filing the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.
Nothing in the news about criminal investigations of JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, etc.

#5 As a Detroiter, it looks like every major city in the country is a Democrat run cesspool of corruption. The common factor is "Democrat run".
