This is former Monterey County sheriff Mike Kanalakis in a deposition when the topic of whether or not cops should hang out with convicted felons. 
2/
Years earlier this was NEWLY ELECTED sheriff Mike Kanalakis giving permission to then @MCoSheriff Sgt. Mike Richards who was asking permission to hang out with David Drew, a truck broker and mutli-felon.

This was a @SalinasPD copper who knew enough to document what he heard while interviewing someone on an unrelated call unrelated to what the copper documented. Mike Richards used people as informants that is go from the County Jail to fire other officers.

This was soon to be fired Cmdr. Mike Richards in his declaration filed with the Superior Court in 2010 in support of Dave Drew receiving a Certificate of Rehabilitation.
Kanalakis was apparently converted because he did it too.
(the first step in a pardon process)

In fact the entire Certificate of Rehabilitation process was started off by then retired Judge John Phillips. 🤔
Seems strange.
Phillips arranged for these public officials to all create normally career ending letter for the benefit of a narco trafficker?

Then retired Judge @PhillipsForSup got shady as hell then Salinas Mayor Dennis Donohue to write a letter.
(Donohue was later hired by Bruce Taylor to work 4 @YourTaylorFarms after a developer had earlier alleged that Donohue created special circumstances so BT could benefit)

Phillips had big plans for @SalinasPD Joe Gunter too. Gunter wrote a bizarre letter claiming Dave Drew was going to be a key figure in helping alleviate traffic congestion problems as an "expert in transportation"
That's rich.

They even got Fred Garcia a then @MCoSheriff commander running for sheriff to write a letter.
Makes it look like divergent voices support Drew.
That's not it. Fred Garcia is just a moron.

Where this went was a lot more criminality from 2010-2018 leading into a wild pardon. Brown let the MoCo scene cool down - he thought, surprise appointed @AGBecerra - Drew is pardoned in 2018.
Despite a body of evidence showing Drew continuing to violate US laws and regs.

The employee of Drew's is a disbarred attorney with Cannery Row associations working for Drew as a "logistics specialist" and "HR director"
The only daily in Monterey County, decimated by Alden Cap, failed to report this and many other details in 2018. Curious.

This is @CASenCaballero home county. Caballero is being pitched as a good choice for California Attorney General to replace @AGBecerra and follow on a woman empowerment theme stemming from @KamalaHarris' lead.
The difference?
Anna Caballero is corrupt.
No?

Where is Caballero on many criminal scandals ongoing in her county?
1. 2017 to present - FBI probe involving corruption, money laundering, RICO, and bribery.
2. Gov. Jerry Brown's pardon of David Drew.

But the takeaway from all this is this is @RepJimmyPanetta's political county. His mom is good friends with @HillaryClinton.
His dad is the most powerful politician in California.
You don't even have to be a conspiracy theorist to say this:
