Change Musgrove can believe in. It’s in his pocket

So someone pleads guilty to tring to bribe Mississippi
Democratic Senate candidate and former Governor Ronnie Musgrove.

The Clarion-Ledger
has the details:

Georgia businessman pleaded guilty Monday to conspiracy
to corruptly influence a public official
in connection
with Mississippi’s costly and failed beef plant venture — a
decision that could spill over into a U.S. Senate race.

Who? Ronnie Musgrove, with $45k to his campaign account:

Robert Moultrie, chairman and chief executive of The
Facility Group of Smyrna, Ga., admitted he gave $45,000 in
contributions to the re-election campaign of then-Gov. Ronnie
Musgrove
, who is now running for the Senate.

And:

Moultrie has agreed to cooperate with authorities. He first gave
Musgrove $20,000 through a PAC Moultrie formed in July 2003. In
September 2003, “Musgrove contacted Moultrie for another campaign
contribution of $25,000,” according to court documents.

Currently, no one is alleging that Musgrove did anything wrong.
Currently.
