I keep waiting for this to explode. The AP claims that 9 state legislators have been subpoenaed by federal investigators in the two-year scandal.

Four state senators — President Pro Tem Hinton Mitchem, D-Union Grove; Rules Chairman Lowell Barron, D-Fyffe; Judiciary Committee Chairman Rodger Smitherman of Birmingham; and Dean of the Senate Bobby Denton, D-Muscle Shoals — received subpoenas, their attorney, Michel Nicrosi, said Thursday.

The four are Rep. Blaine Galliher, R-Gadsden; Rep. Jack Page, D-Gadsden; Rep. Randy Hinshaw, D-Meridianville, and former Democratic Rep. Neal Morrison of Cullman.

The ninth legislator is Rep. Merika Cullman, D-Midfield, according to this.

I was going to do some analysis of this, but I’m running late.
