Berk bankrolled @JeanninePacioni's first run for DA with a $20,000 loan. I've had ADA and DDA's
"Brannon, who is in charge of investigating campaign wrongdoing for the DA’s Office, has endorsed Moses, which Mitchell views as an obvious conflict." voicesofmontereybay.org/2022/05/27/she…

reach out to me as confidential sources (since this blog is a form of gonzo journalism +) and tell me that Berk Brannon is the guy running the DA's office - his wife is a judge in #SantaCruz County.
Brannon made a big deal over Cmdr. Joey Banuelos getting charged by Flippo
3/
when Scott Miller was Sheriff and personally went to the @MCoSheriff department to look at Banuelos' personnel file and the investigation Max Houser ordered conducted. This was only after I asked a Herald reporter to ask the DA why the Banuelos file was sitting on a desk in
4/
their office not moving at all. The story was written for the Herald and Banuelos was charged with two felonies. Miller is defeated by Bernal and the DA blew the case (intentionally in my view) - that's all Berk Brannon right there and then funneled the case to the 🗑 with

the help of yet another fmr. MoCo elected - turned paid private judge (another scandal) that judge is Russ Scott (whose dad was a connected politician back in the day. Russ Scott is a compromised cry baby who turned to my aunt Judge Kay Kingsley for help when he had a problem
6/
<<many, many times>> My aunt would spread out the paperwork that had all of Russ Scott's problems and go over it with me line by line, explaining what was taking place - and of course I made copies. (@Calkins_Royal).
The long game (because this is all politics) is this >>

The people of Monterey County deserve and have a right to expect that the corrupt in Monterey County are not above the law. @TheJusticeDept has a functioning Civil Rights division. Sgt. Dan Mitchell, Scott Davis, Christian Schneider and myself (along with others) have had
8/
our civil rights violated. Waiting for @RobBonta to do his job is like waiting for Bill Barr to have done his -- @GavinNewsom appointed him just as Gavin gave Kevin Ryan a job after the US Attorney gig where Ryan was ultimately fired by Pres. Bush's AG.
I seriously doubt
9/
Bonta will do anything that resembles actual law and order or the rule of law. It's a big failure on the part of Newsom's administration to refuse to acknowledge any of this is taking place in Monterey County and that seems to be the way it will go for the long term.
10/
Partisanship will have to be set aside and people would need to focus like a laser beam on those in power. The commoners deserve better. We all do.
Let's talk about guns and online warning signs. This is Jeff Woods, who supported Steve Bernal for Sheriff. Jeff once put my full address on Facebook for some reason, while Scott Miller was Sheriff. He has friends at @MCoSheriff and Archie Warren is one of them.
2/ Jeff Woods did this after I had a report filed when a belligerent and drunk Dave Drew showed up and harassed Scott Miller during a candidate forum. @SalinasPD was non-responsive. Dave Drew took a photo of one of my campaign workers - a former cop - and Woods put that on his FB
3/
Later a @MCoSheriff came by my house looking for me. That was Matt Luther a dirty narc at the time who has since been fired and County Counsel told Mary Duan they are worried Luther is going to active shooter their office. Mary Duan put that in writing. @mcweekly
Fun Fact: When SPD's Jeff Munoz was dating a tenant of mine, Julie Nix (CASP) Jeff told me @DavidDr34643165 had a bogus burglary of his house and the cops were told that Dave had a lot of cash stolen.
2/
Officer Dodd (a deceased former Salinas Cop and Army Ranger) didn't believe Drew, didn't believe he had a bunch of cash laying around his house - so Dave takes Dodd to his bathroom and goes under the sink and pulled out a wad of more 💰 💵 to show him how much cash he stores.
3/
Dodd put all that information in the 459 report.
Jeff Munoz told me Dave is a scumbag and he remembered him from when he was a kid and worked as a waiter at the Brass Rail, a bar / restaurant in Oldtown #Salinas which was at the center of a cocaine bust that was huge and
Amber Heard Jr. here, Georgina Mendoza - who was working in the @CityofSalinas City Attorney's Office when a theft of public funds took place. Mendoza falsely accused Sheriff Miller of grabbing her rear end at Restaurant 1833, all in service of the clique. dastardlycleverness.com/georgina-mendo…
2/
Julie Nix, a @CityofSalinas employee assigned to CASP - the bogus anti-gang group that pumps out fluff on Peace in #Salinas - was a tenant of mine. My brother-in-law, Bob Eggers a Salinas gang task force commander asked me to get her an apartment in 2008. I did. Nix became
3/
a reliable source of information regarding Salinas bullshit and while Scott Miller was Sheriff Nix told me she frequently heard Georgina Mendoza talking about "awful Scott Miller" and how he grabbed her butt at Monterey Restaurant 1833. Nix told me Mendoza was "full of shit"
Annemarie Conroy, Georgina Mendoza's buddy - a gatekeeper in the @USAO_NDCA office currently and hyper-political. Would Conroy brick wall am investigation into public corruption involving @RepJimmyPanetta?
I certainly hope not but in 2022, anything is possible.
A solid member is the #CityFamily Conroy was a SF Board of Supervisors member and has overlap with @GavinNewsom who wants to be President one day.
Conroy went through the same Panetta influenced "Homeland Security" program at @NPS_Monterey as Salinas Mayor Kim Craig. 🤔
3/
How would [SF] voters react if they learned Conroy's party affiliation? The [supe]had wisely downplayed her GOP membership and successfully wooed Democrats, particularly women. The Bush poll showed that Conroy would lose thousands of votes if she were tagged a Republican.
When I told @Calkins_Royal that the then managing editor of the @mcweekly has a truthfulness problem he not only agreed but told me "she is really pissed that you told me about the Mike Hackett appellate story, so watch out". I told Calkins I didn't care. Calkins asked "I thought
2/
you were friends" and I reminded him that she was untrustworthy in my opinion and despite casually communicating it was all business. MoCo corruption is a puzzle and Duan is a piece of the puzzle.
Calkins covered for himself by saying to Duan I didn't give him the Hackett
3/
cocaine conviction story, but I did - because it was newsworthy and relevant to a serious problem in Monterey County. The @FBI has not only been investigating corruption but, I was told, they are looking into collusion between news outlets. Specifically @ksbw & @mcweekly.
No update from the @mcweekly in their garbage article trying to dirty up a competitor in journalism. A @PacificGrove council woman (whose mother has been a Nader Agha worker) went all weirdo, similar to @maryrduan the Weekly's former editor has with me and this blog, after being
2/ criticized by Sheriff Scott Miller's brother, Dan, who is the editor of a PG Weekly.
The elected official took out a restraining order against Miller for his journalism - Judge Julie Culver saw through the bullshit and troubling legal assault and ruled against Jenny McAdams
3/
McAdams will now have to pay Miller's legal fees as a result of her loss - but what about Dan Miller's damage to his reputation?
The Weekly failed to balance and fairly treat Miller in their coverage much as they have unfairly treated this blog, siding.
