It was public relations. That's the key news that dominates the interests of MoCo intelligencia while Rome burned.
This is the bribe taking politician, clearly laying in bed, drunk (on power) Tweeting his two cents:
The bribe taking politico took cash from a local cocaine trafficker who dabbles in dazzling the local corrupt politicians and dirty narcs at @SalinasPD & @MCoSheriff - so he is in the clear (as far as they know) that cocaine trafficker is Mike Hackett.
Louie Alejo is famous for his glamour shots, he thinks it insulated him from the cops while he is out taking bribes and cops violating the law on a daily basis.
And this is the local cocaine trafficker who is good friends with @bradleyzeve's managing editor. Locally the story has been stricken from the paper of records reportage.
That local cocaine trafficker is friends with this former cocaine trafficker, who isn't ... exactly ... a concert promoter but a distribution and transportation magnate - who hires experts on transportation logistics - which seems a lot more interesting than concert promoter.

The @mcweekly has no business withholding important news from the community they serve because they are butt-hurt over a political consultant who ran a campaign for @SheriffBernal (a guy @bradleyzeve has gone soft on because of his weird relationship with Armanasco & Panetta)

But even the claim that it's "hurt butts" causing local, dilapidated print journalism, like the @mcweekly, @MontereyHerald and @salnews to ignore the illegal and consequential conduct of Steve Bernal following his 2014 Sheriff's race win.

If anyone would be holding a grudge against Schneider it shouldn't be *what's left of* local print journalists, *they* weren't threatened by rogue cops - with death. Schneider didn't threaten to kill anyone, he's a campaign consultant. He behaves exactly like Plasha Will

without all of Plasha Will's lawbreaking. (Believe me if I had found something juicy about CS when he ran Bernal's 2012-2014 campaign, I would have yelled about it from a variety of marketing platforms)
What Schneider is doing in filing 11-12 @CA_FPPC community complaints -
... State Senator, and corrupt politician, @CASenCaballero was hand delivered a non-profit when she was Mayor of Salinas. Caballero needed to make a little bread so other, more powerful politicians hooked up "Partners for Peace" to pay her $100,000 per year for three years using
a pass through million dollar grant from the @juliepackard family foundation. $1,000,000. For Violence and Injury Prevention after an Oakland study of the same name was ordered up and paid for by?
"The federal government has lagged behind as states like California continue to modernize how we regulate and decriminalize cannabis," said Congressman Panetta.
Jimmy Panetta's consultant, Plasha Will, is written into a sub-lease agreement that her firm, PFW Consulting and Dave Potter's, Potter Consulting, must be retained for marijuana advising when anyone sub-leases from Mike Bitar.
The guy on the far left is Bitar:

Does that seem like clean, ethical conduct, closely linked to a United States Congressman who has also taken things of value from Bitar's associated group, Grupo Flor.? Who rents office space in #Salinas from Mike Bitar.
