Chuck Johnson posing in front of Thad Cohran’s house

Tonight we have some fallout from Chuck C. Johnson’s crusade against Thad Cochran in Mississippi, as a far right blogger pleads guilty to conspiracy to commit burglary in a plot to take video of Cochran’s wife as she lay bedridden in a nursing home: Kelly Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy in Cochran Photo Case.

This, my friends, is the kind of horrible shit Chuck Johnson was involved in.

CANTON - Clayton Kelly took a last minute plea deal before his trial for breaking into the nursing home room of U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran’s late wife last year and videoing her for a political hit piece.

Kelly’s lawyer said testimony from nursing home guards while arguing motions to dismiss the case tanked Kelly’s strongest defense — that he did not sneak into the nursing home, but was allowed in by guards.

Attorney Kevin Camp said that while he had not been allowed to talk with guards, he was led to believe they would say Kelly was waived in to see Cochran’s wife. But on the stand Monday, a guard from St. Catherine’s said Kelly obviously lied about who he was there to see, or he would have not been allowed in without clearance from nurses or the Cochran family.

“The officer saying he had gotten in by deception — I think (Kelly) sort of realized he didn’t have a whole lot of options,” Camp said. “… He couldn’t take a chance.”

Note: Chuck Johnson was subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury in Mississippi in a related case, but ignored it.
