State Senator Anna Caballero started out in politics as a sideways Mayor for the @CityofSalinas. Nothing she touches turns out good and @GavinNewsom had her on a short list for AG of CA, but chose @RobBonta instead.

This is part of Caballero's legacy:

@CASenCaballero did nothing about corruption in Salinas CA. In fact, Caballero's political influence made it worse. Sal Jimenez is part owner of the one card room in all of Salinas - he and his partner rec. special treatment. SJ had been on the planning commish.

One source of income for Sal Jimenez, as disclosed on his @CA_FPPC forms was from the owner of @SalinasPD's "evidence tow" Henry Jones.

Henry Jones is best buddies with the guy @JerryBrownGov corruptly pardoned. Dave's a criminal.

But his buddy Henry Jones flies blue line

@CASenCaballero started out her Salinas political career on the Salinas Planning Commission.

2019 - 2021, two year later, there remains an active money laundering case involving public officials and political consultants. (like @RepJimmyPanetta and Plasha Will)

Fickas, mentioned below, was a political consultant who worked with Panetta's people until a rape conviction. Image

.@GavinNewsom gave Fickas' attorney a promotion to Superior Court Judge two months after Jennifer Davenport got Fickas a 28 year deal (14 years state time) for multiple rapes of campaign workers he reportedly drugged and then violated. Image

The most covered-"up" story by the ⁦@mcweekly⁩, owned by @bradleyzeve.

This is about marijuana, licensing, the @CityofSalinas and @wendyrootaskew's County of Monterey. Public officials who have been receiving cash (and drugs) for legislative favors.

@AGRobBonta
2/

The paid press talking about @RobBonta buddy @SupervisorAlejo or former Salinas Mayor @CASenCaballero being a subject of interest in an ongoing @FBI probe into bribery and corruption, involving marijuana interests.

This seems like a problem for @GavinNewsom too. @cmarinucci
3/

Fast forward a couple months after this message and it was learned that it was ALSO @SupervisorAlejo "allegedly" taking bribes from marijuana interests in Monterey County.

@GavinNewsom's new Attorney General @RobBonta is particularly good friends with Louie Alejo.

.@SalinasPD's benefactors - the politically active Cabrera clan.

It's a good look. ImageImage
Murdered a single mother for profit and his lawyer claimed the @MCoSheriff detective Martinez was persecuting the family.

Nonsense. Image
"The jury reached the verdict, which included a guilty finding on the special circumstance allegation of murder for financial gain, Wednesday following a three-week trial. According to the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office, Cabrera strangled Singh in their Marina home"

These are two big influencers in Monterey County. Two assholes who were implicated in a major cocaine case that also implicated Dave Drew, a man @JerryBrownGov corruptly pardoned in 2018.

The two men are partners in Monterey California's Cannery Row.

Brown's dad once had an

ownership interest in Cannery Row property with San Francisco's Ben Swig.

Corruption is deeply rooted in our society.

County Supervisor John Phillips was in the DA's office at this time and he helped kill this major case. It was that easy for a few in power to do.
3/

John Phillips and a corrupt judge named Steven Sillman, whose history of misconduct is a quiet legend in MoCo, worked for the bad guys in undermining the People's case. And @salnews was pressured because of the epic journalism they did on this story.

Continuing the news coverup for the benefit of narco-trafficker Mike Hackett (who controls Riverview) no where in this news blurb is Hackett mentioned

"Cannabis grower Riverview Farms slapped with $400,000 fine for illegal extraction work." montereycountyweekly.com/blogs/news_blo… @bradleyzeve
2/

Hackett was convicted of cocaine trafficking in San Benito County in 2018 and then moved his enterprises to straw owners - Hackett appealed his conviction, despite his plea of no contest, lost and in the appeal Hackett was caught on a @DEAHQ wiretap of another target.
3/

Hackett later violated his felony probation and another cover-up took place. Monterey County probation and @SalinasPD looked the other way on Hackett's continued illegal activity and a local judge, Pam Butler, gave him a pass on his violations.

Obviously it's a continuing
