KMJ News has learned about an assassination plot targeting Governor Brown.
The plot was actually hatched while Jerry Brown was serving as CA Attorney General in 2010.
CBS 13 in Sacramento reports brown was targeted during his crackdown on marijuana growing operations in California.
The Dept. of Justice agents say at least one Mexican drug cartel put a hit out on Brown as retaliation and DOJ agents were called in to protect him.
Now reports are surfacing today that hundreds of California-based justice agents could face layoffs due to budget cuts.
Current Attorney General Kamala Harris sent out a letter Wednesday saying restoring that funding is her "number one priority.”
Ping?
I don’t have a ping list per se, I would have to add California FReepers that I know. If you have a ping list, please ping away. :)
Did it succeed?
Word on the street is that he is no longer Attorney General.

Short on money, can't keep all those political cronies on the payroll?
Play the Assassination Card.
Yet, Jackass Brown recently signed a law making it a misdemeanor to open carry an unloaded weapon. It’s nice that he can have numerous armed protectors around him when he is threatened, but piss on the public if they want to exercise THEIR 2nd Amendment rights.
Does this make any sense? Besides committing murder, this wouldn’t exactly bring people to legalize pot.
Funding problems, OK, I see.
The cartels have assassinated a LOT of people. And yes, it doesn’t make any sense to assassinate an Attorney General in order to get law enforcement to back off enforcing anti marijuana laws. And it would not convince a single person to start using marijuana if they already don’t do so.
Too many interested parties have too many financial interests for me not to be skeptical of this assassination plot.
Is there really any difference in Brown alive or Brown dead? He’s a totaly blank space in reality.
Relegalizing pot is the LAST thing the cartels want - it would do to them what the end of Prohibition did to rumrunners.

Sure, it does - the hope is that his successor would exercise his discretion to place his enforcement priorities elsewhere.
And it would not convince a single person to start using marijuana if they already don’t do so.
Nor, I'm sure, was that the intent.
If they "hoped" that assassinating a liberal like Brown would get law enforcement to back off, they are just as looney as Brown is. Such an act would trigger a genuine dirty war between United States "personnel" and drug cartel members. The cartel would lose.
"Relegalizing pot is the LAST thing the cartels want - it would do to them what the end of Prohibition did to rumrunners."
Couldn't agree more. The LAST thing the cartels want is for the United States to legalize pot. So here's a conspiracy theory of mine. Remember how recently Obama was saying that pot was not a priority of his? And remember that the Obama Administration has favored one Cartel over the others? I theorize that the Cartel that Obama favors put a bug in his ear and told him to crack down on the California marijuana clinics because it was hurting their profits. Top that!
You're not the first FReeper to suggest it: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2793513/posts#8.
GMTA!
well the drug cartels should have enough fire power to accomplish this little feat. After obammy holder and Mrs, clinton set in motion fast and furious.
The cartels have plenty of firepower. What they don’t get from Obama, they can get somewhere else. Little things like RPG’S, mortars, grenades, military grade machine guns.
You gots to know there are units within the Mexican military willing to sell the Narco’s nearly anything.
Money money money MONEY, MONEY!!!!
Lots on it.
