California: Rumors of FBI at state Capitol

The Stockon Recorder ^ | June 19, 2002 | Will Shuck Capitol Bureau Chief

Well, this might stick to the Davis administration for a few months....

[Argus]

It's only a crime when Republicans do it. When Democrats do it, it's called "righting a social injustice."

Any "perceived" crime committed was for "the children."

And the Dems response to indictments will be to pass more "campaign finance reform" laws restricting the First Amendment rights of average citizens.

Though few current Assembly members were in the Capitol in 1985, many are aware of a nearly three-year undercover FBI probe that began that year. And many know that the probe uncovered a web of corruption and bribery, resulting in convictions of officeholders, staff members and lobbyists

Can anybody provide a name of an "officeholder" who was convicted? Just curious.

[NormsRevenge]

avoid any appearance of a link between fund raising and lawmaking, because "someone is sniffing around the building" ... LOLOL

Good point.

[thescourged1]

Even better, to see the same guys handtrucking out boxes of documents....behind a file of 'rats in handcuffs with their suitcoats over their heads.

There were at least six members of the legislature that were convicted of various federal crimes and send to prison. I can't remember their names (one of the last ones had a Hispanic surname).

[hattend]

Really? Good! BTTT

"avoid any appearance of a link between fund raising and lawmaking"

Who are usually the 'pallbearers' at a funeral?

[CindyDawg]

You think SW would make them buy 2 seats? LOL

[let freedom sing]

FBI presence: Makes it convenient to arrest Davis!

[thepitts]

West Sacramento businessman complained to agents that lawmakers would help only large contributors.

Hey...I f it works in DC.....

[harpo11]

Seems like Gray out is just following the example of his buddy and good pal Bill Clinton. Perhaps, Bill gave Gray a few tips on how to implement the "big grope" for campaign cash.

If anything happens, I hope the first indictment is against Bubba Lockyer, our criminal bribe taker posing as our State Attorney General. Then, indict most of Davis's insider traders on the Dept of Water Resources for insider trading last year re power companies

YES! Thank you for stating that most serious fact. As a matter of fact I am not surprised that corporations like PG&E are having money problems. Why, just today I counted three new white Crown Victoria cars with full cage in back like the local PD has and a shiny PG&E emblem on the door. I'd like to know how they are justifying these expenses when they are broke.

[bonesmccoy]

Yes, criminal activity never precluded the Democrats from doing anything... including nominating the criminal.

Notre Dame???

Notre Dame???????????

Ahh...heck... let's get a REAL SCHOOL!!!

Like maybe USC????

TOMMY CAM!!!!

Or you can pick the "other" school...

and end up thinking like the democrats.

I hope it's true. As a contemporary version of an anti-federalist it pains me to say this, but California needs a thorough federal RICO investigation in the statehouses and atty general's office.

[monkeyshine]

Perhaps you are wrong. Perhaps they only find what they want to find.
