Sources told WDSU that the grand jury initiated the investigation, which is considered uncommon. Several witnesses have already appeared before the grand jury, and the jury is expected to reach a decision on the matter later this week.

Murrill said she had not been notified of any investigation.

"All I have are hearsay reports, because I haven't," Murrill said.

Sources say it is connected to letters the AG sent to New Orleans city leaders. When contacted by phone, White had no comment for WDSU.

Murrill sent letters to New Orleans officials warning that their attempt to install a competing Orleans Parish clerk of court would trigger serious consequences under Louisiana’s usurper laws, warning that the actions taken by the council and mayor could result in the possible forfeiture of their positions.

The letters were sent to New Orleans City Council members, Mayor Helena Moreno, District Attorney Jason Williams, and the Honorable Calvin Johnson.

The attorney general warned that the council's resolutions to appoint Judge Calvin Johnson as interim clerk and call a special election rested "on the false narrative that Act 15 created a new, vacant office."

According to Murrill, the law did not create a vacancy, but rather eliminated the criminal clerk's office position that Calvin Duncan won.

"Act 15 did not create a vacancy. It abolished the former criminal clerk's office, transferred its authority, duties, records, and funds to the former civil clerk's office, and renamed that continuing office the clerk of court for Orleans Parish. Chelsey Richard Napoleon remains the lawful clerk of court for Orleans Parish," the letter said.

"I specifically asked the Council to wait for the Louisiana Supreme Court to weigh in. Instead, they knowingly refused and moved forward with resolutions that attempt to displace Chelsey Richard Napoleon from her lawful office as Clerk of Court for Orleans Parish. There is no vacancy, and no public official should recognize this fictional office or Judge Calvin Johnson's purported appointment to it. Louisiana's usurper laws carry serious consequences, and my office will enforce them," said Attorney General Liz Murrill in a news release issued on Wednesday.

Murrill called on the council to rescind or suspend its resolutions, and urged them to "take no further action recognizing the disputed office or appointment."

New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno issued a video statement, calling the letter a threat.

She urged Murrill to let the matter play out in court and stressed she would not be intimidated.

"I will not be intimidated or threatened by the state attorney general," Moreno said. "I won't back down."

what? The article is fine.

So let me get this straight. The attorney general is MAGA a once a new county clerk that also will be MAGA in New Orleans.

In order to do this they issue an investigation, And because of the indictment the county clerk must recues herself and leave office for the sanctity of her position.

So the state attorney general is forcing her out to replace her with a MAGA stooge.

What's this about fireworks and protesters?

This doesn't really explain what's happening.
What's the story?

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - An Orleans Parish grand jury has indicted Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill in connection with a probe into alleged threats she made to New Orleans city leaders in May, according to Orleans Criminal Court Judge Laurie White.

A $400,000 bond was set for Murrill, according to official records.

The attorney general is facing 16 felony counts: eight counts of public intimidation and eight counts of malfeasance in office.
Murrill’s letters

The decision comes after sources told Fox 8 Tuesday evening the grand jury began investigating letters Murrill sent Mayor Helena Moreno, District Attorney Jason Williams and five city councilmembers in May.

The letters came during a dispute over the state legislature’s move to eliminate the city’s criminal clerk of court position and consolidate the office with the civil clerk.

The City Council voted to appoint the interim clerk, former judge Calvin Johnson, and called for a special election — a move Moreno and Williams supported at the time.

The Louisiana Supreme Court later struck down the council’s resolutions, blocked the special election and ordered the civil clerk, Chelsey Richard Napoleon, to serve as the consolidated clerk as required by the new law.

Murrill defended the letters Wednesday but said she had no direct knowledge of any grand jury inquiry into them.

In those letters, Murrill warned the officials their actions could trigger “serious consequences” under Louisiana law, including possible removal from office.

To be fair, this modern crop of Trumpist Republicans is doing all the "downsize da government" things the Bush cronies used to talk about but never had the balls to do.
