State Farm Paying Attorney Fee for Miss. Insurance Commissioner | Democrats.com

State Farm Paying Attorney Fee for Miss. Insurance Commissioner | Democrats.com: "While I’ve been busy the last few weeks sanding baseboards and crown molding and painting ceilings for family members’ homes, Mississippi Deputy Insurance Commissioner David Lee Harrell was busy preparing for his deposition in one of the big insurance cases. The fee for his attorney? State Farm funded that.
Yes, you read that correctly.
State Farm is paying the attorney fee for the lawyer helping the Mississippi Deputy Insurance Commissioner prepare for his testimony under oath and representing him at the proceedings in one of the large lawsuits that Mississippi policy holders are bringing against . . . State Farm.
Can you believe it?! Talk about the fox guarding the hen house!! But this is really more like a criminal defense team paying the salary of the local prosecuting attorney assigned to its case. What a whopper of a conflict of interest. Here’s a guide to the deposition and links to the deposition itself. http://www.scruggskatrinagroup.com/harrell_deposition_guide.asp."
