I also interviewed a member of the Board of Supervisors, who was at the presentation and was named as one of those receiving money. He is a Republican.
The information presented by Braeger as being corrupted, included: Republicans, Democrats, Judges, County Supervisors, police, a mayor (not in Phoenix) and the "Mormon Mafia" of Arizona. The information they had was extensive, named names and gave specifics.
I was also told that based, in part, on his information, there are investigations underway in five states and the DOJ is involved.
As I said in an earlier post, it was a lot, too much for me to fully get my head around. I decided writing it up, would not be productive.
The people need to know. Maybe make it a series?
Claiming the invitation amounted to an ethics violation suitable for expulsion is a lie. This expulsion was political revenge.
At first glance, the supposedly squeaky clean Mormons seem to be strange bedfellows to the cartels. Look deeper and it makes complete sense. Mormons make up a large portion of the entrepreneurial blue collar class in Phoenix metro area, especially in Mesa. They are heavily dependent upon illegal aliens to run their businesses. In fact, for many, exploitation of cheap illegal alien labor is the basis of their business model. As a result, what were once working class Mesa Mormon neighborhoods are now havens illegal aliens with several families or groups of illegals living in a house. As the cartels have become the brokers of the illegal alien community, they may very well have become allied with and infiltrated into the local Mormon business community. This Mormon community is a very close knit and well organized unit of a much larger and equally well organized Mormon international organization that has a huge presence in Mexico and South America. This makes the claims by Harris’s speaker very believable and credible.
