Congressman @JimmyPanetta,

Who is Mike Bitar and what is his history in Monterey County politics?

Why is every sub-lease Bitar creates for his primary lease of Nader Agha's Moss Landing Marijuana Grow Facility requiring that tenants use your political consultant Plasha Will? ImageImageImageImage
2/
Did you have any knowledge of Mike Bitar's felony fraud case that was prosecuted by the Monterey Co. District Attorney's Office where you worked?

What is the full history of Bitar's business relationships:

1. Mike's Auto Sales

2. Frank's Auto Sales

You have to be one locked in, arrogant Representative to be seen in a photo with Mike Bitar - and all the @FBI baggage he brings.

District 1: @SupervisorAlejo
District 2: @PhillipsForSupe
District 3: @SupervisorLopez
District 4: @WendyRootAskew
District 5: @MaryLAdams
"Agha and Grupo Flor founder Mike Bitar were once the closest of friends, so close Bitar was able to convince many that he was Agha’s nephew, so close that Agha made him the executor of his estate. Now they grit their teeth when they talk about each other"

"For instance, Agha’s legal team used ledgers to show that the Grupo Flor folks had paid just shy of $100,000 to their local government lobbyists during the time that Agha and Grupo Flor were partners."

The man on the left is David Armanasco. He has been doing free public relations for @MCoSheriff Steve Bernal. πŸ€”

He is best buds with Leon Panetta.

The @mcweekly met with Armanasco as Steve Bernal was poised to enter office (from deputy to sheriff) and agreed to go easy.
2/
And they have. six years later the sherif stories have a soft touch. They round off the edges

The rigging of American politics is happening in plain sight. We need to pay attention or we will be right back at another Trump.

Armanasco is in the above photo with the sommelier

from the Sardine Factory. One of his "paying clients".

So is Steve Bernal's public relations really free? @CA_FPPC.

No. It isn't. Steve Bernal's PR is paid for by the same well connected and questionable business men that steered a deputy into the corrupt sheriff slot.

John FICKAS is a political consultant who just plead out to rape (multiple counts). Fickas' case was initially buried (while @Kelly_McMillin was chief of @SalinasPD) and only came to light a little over two years ago.

And then the @FBI came to #Salinas to interview connected Image

Fickas was funded, in part, by Mike Hackett - a Salinas based pizza maker and cocaine trafficker who is a major player in the local marijuana

Mike Hackett isn't supposed to be in the weed business because he is now a convicted felon but MoCo never ceases to amaze in its lawlessness and corruption.

This is NOT A PROTEST

This is a #coup. I don't care what the lame stream media people are calling it this is a coup, encouraged by Trump.

These are also the bulk of your DONORS Congressman.

A 12 year deputy as Sheriff of Monterey County. Why?

#CORRUPTION

Here are two of @RepJimmyPanetta's close associates and major funders of @AdeleFrese's @SalinasPD - Don Chapin's buddies and Jimmy Panetta doers. #MontereyCounty

It take a long time to get to the crisis point the US finds herself in today and at every local level you will find elected officials that led to this point - and make no mistake - it's a very dangerous time.
