Fitch
JACKSON, Miss. (Legal Newsline) – Private lawyers, some of whom contributed to her campaign, stand to gain financially from Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s new lawsuit against 3M, DuPont and other companies over chemicals known as PFAS.
Fitch and three private firms filed their case Dec. 17 in a multidistrict litigation proceeding in South Carolina federal court. Those firms are headlined by Dallas’ Baron & Budd, a firm whose lawyers were among many in the trial bar to support the Republican Fitch’s 2019 campaign to replace Democrat Jim Hood. A lot of those firms handle securities class actions and see the Mississippi public employees pension system as a potential client.
Perhaps Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch should sue Secretary of State Michael Watson.
After all, Watson essentially did what Fitch and 18 other Republican state attorneys general sued four states for doing: enacting changes to election procedure without garnering legislative approval.
That high-profile lawsuit, filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and joined by Fitch, sought to have about 20 million ballots invalidated in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Instead, the plaintiffs wanted those states’ Republican legislatures to select the winner. Presumably, they would have selected President Donald Trump instead of former Vice President Joe Biden, who won those four states on the way to capturing the presidency.
