Turnip blood

Now we know why that Nagin legal defense fund website exists.

Federal prosecutors are trying to seize more than $500,000 from former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin following his February conviction on corruption charges.

Prosecutors filed asset forfeiture papers Tuesday (April 8) in U.S. District Court and requested for a hearing on April 29.

Seems excessive. At this point, we're pretty sure Nagin is already going to have spend at least a little time in prison. And, if not that, Dallas. Maybe just quit while you're ahead, the Feds.
