"Schneider did not name the former elected official but one of the women who says she had an affair with the sheriff provided the location and other details of one of their regular meeting places, which turns out to be owned by Butch Lindley." voicesofmontereybay.org/2020/11/13/mon…
"Schneider said in the complaint that some of the accusations he wishes to lodge with the state are sensitive to the point that he hopes to share them with the FPPC staff in conversation rather than in writing."

Behind this one complaint the @CA_FPPC must refer any matter where it finds criminal conduct by @SheriffBernal, or the other investigations into:
1️⃣. Judge John Phillips, his money laundering committee.@PhillipsForSupe
"was at the center of an effort funded by the Costa Mesa Police Association to dig up dirt on Councilman Jim Righeimer and former mayor Steve Mensinger in 2012 during tense contract negotiations with the police union" ocregister.com/articles/polic…
8 years of warnings @GavinNewsom. Police unions are out of control.
“Because myself, Councilman Gary Monahan and Steve Mensinger were not giving them our loyalty, our families were the next victims,” Righeimer [said]. “This is what happens in third-world countries.”

"During a 2015 court hearing, Costa Mesa police Officer Jason Chamness, who was police association president in 2012, testified that he and union officials believed Mensinger and Righeimer posed a threat because of their statements about cutting public safety funding."
This is a major player in local and state Democratic Committee politics. He worked to see that the one Black woman running for County Supervisor not receive any resources or guidance during the primary with three opponents, two Democrats and a Republican.
Political consultant - charged with rape in Monterey County, at a local fmr. @CityofSalinas council-members house (who now works as a political consultant).
The case is grinding its way through the MoCo judicial system with a jury trial scheduled for February 2021.

This trial should prove to be interesting for two reasons. @SalinasPD's role in the investigation. @MCoSheriff Sgt. Bryan Hoskins digging in and pushing the case forward - as he is supposed to do (well done).
The second reason is an @FBI investigation into Fickas' role in

a wide ranging, public corruption investigation. Information revealed during the rape investigation led to leads which allegedly implicated multiple public officials - including county supervisors John Phillips & Louie Alejo receiving cash money from Fickas associates
It's Thanksgiving week. What are you planning on doing in 2021 that will:
1️⃣. Ensure the @MCoSheriff department mandates the wearing of Body Cams and in vehicle cameras as @SalinasPD and every other MoCo agency has?
2/
2️⃣. Encourage and remind our District Attorney, Jeannine Pacioni, that we need a public corruption unit which is local and above reproach?
3️⃣. Establish a countywide Campaign Contribution limit that is rational rather than non-existent?

Folks, if our local elected officials can't answer key questions to the health and security of our community, they are not their to serve us. They are there to serve special interests and special interests alone.
These are easy questions to answer for anyone with integrity.
“We used the money for what it was intended. We put all of our people back to work,” said Don Chapin Jr., president of the Don Chapin Co. “We provided work from home and multiple training opportunities. We did exactly what the (government) wanted us to" montereyherald.com/2020/07/09/cor…

DON CHAPIN and others are under @FBI investigation for their money dispensary - the @SVLGroup.
I wonder what sort of political pressure the FBI is under (we all know that
3/
exists) from Leon Panetta (the most powerful politician in California and life long enabler of the mafia/OC)?
Leon Panetta and Monterey County is no stranger to manipulating the FBI. When young copper Sue Stryker arrested a now extinct FBI resident agent for DUI multiple
