Felon Nathan Cooper to give Money to Charity


You will recall that Blog CCP reported on State Representative Nathan Cooper pleading guilty to a felony. KC Blue Blog started the beating of the drums to give the ill-gotten proceeds from a shady golf tournament to charity. Congrats, KC Blue Blog - it worked.


It was reported yesterday that Felon Nathan Cooper (R) is going to give the $65,000 in donations he squeezed from folks to charities. Also in the news is that the Missouri Supreme Court - a non-partisan group - went ahead an punched Nathan Cooper's ticket and took his law license. Cooper wanted to hold onto it until he was sentenced.


This is an interesting story because the U.S. Attorney that is handling this case is none other than the former Speaker of the House, Catherine Hanaway (a Republican candidate for the Missouri Attorney General). The time between the plea and the sentencing indicates that Cooper is looking for a deal - which means he needs to roll over on someone. Who will it be? Will Hanaway go light on a felon/lawyer/legislator? Will Hanaway let Cooper rat someone out or use this to score political points (and if so, points for the primary or points for the general)?

Way to KC Blue Blog. Congrats to the Missouri Supreme Court for not abiding by Cooper's timeline.

It will be interesting to see if Hanaway makes Cooper serve time on this crime. Kinda hard to run for AG being soft on immigration.

Yeah, I'm sure that the Blue blog had a lot to do with that decision! HA! I'm sure that Cooper is one of the Blue Blogs readers.

Please, Mr. Bough, please do not feed the ego of Blue Blog!

No way that Hanaway will let Cooper ride free. Even white color criminals will have to pay for this one. If she does, the Democratic AG candidate will be rejoicing.

Holy cow, batman! Hanaway knew about this problem in 2005 yet did nothing.
