Up until now, the story of what got Oakland City Administrator Deborah Edgerly into hot water when her nephew was swept up in a gang bust has been shrouded in mist.
Here's the story:
On the night of June 7, Edgerly - whose duties included overseeing the Police Department - showed up at a West Oakland liquor store just as her nephew's car was being towed by police as part of an operation against the Acorn gang.
The nephew, 27-year-old William Lovan - who works for the city as a parking meter repairman - had left the car running and locked the keys inside, along with a gun.
Edgerly asked why the car was being towed and the police, in their fashion, said, "Because it's polluting the air."
Two sources familiar with the case tell us that Edgerly pulled out her cell phone and punched up Assistant Chief Howard Jordan's number to complain.
Jordan said he'd check it out and call her back.
And he did a few minutes later, telling her that the towing job was part of a bigger police operation.
Upon hearing the news, the sources say, Edgerly calmed down.
That might well have been the end of the story - except that according to our sources, police think Edgerly may have made a call to her nephew, warning him to stay away from these "bad people" because the authorities knew what they were up to. Authorities say the gang was linked to several homicides and a series of restaurant takeover robberies as well as carjackings, drug and weapons trafficking.
What we do know is that police, who had several suspects' phones tapped, say they have the nephew on tape calling the gang's alleged leader and telling him that he had word "from the top" that the cops were on the way.

Nothing like this surprises me anymore.
She must accept the consequences of her actions but what family member would not tell another to “get out now”
Wow....that’s quite the beating she took there.....
One who has a higher degree of accountability to society, and the public welfare. These are the same people that put "tribe" ahead of everything else. These are the same people who feel that the "family" takes precedence over all other things; including God and Country.
She needs to be canned, and if it can be proven that she did inform here nephew and some bad guys got away, because of it, she needs to be prosecuted.
“Edgerly will stay on as city administrator until the end of July - when she had already been planning to retire from her $254,000-a-year job.”
Plus probably got the nephew the job.
Unreal.
I agree ...if she did this she needs to be fired. That said...regardless of her political beliefs I can understand.
Oh and if you put God first then everything else seems to fall in place.
So...she consumes five pounds of bacon everyday ?
.Parking meter repairman? Is that like a sundial repairman only with benefits? I wonder if Imus has a take?
Really, does this surprise anyone? This country is more divided than before the civil war.
Guilty!

Funny how that works, huh? :-)
classic...
They rounded up a lot of MS 13 gang members across the USA this week!
Maggots...puke
Buzzards...barf.
And so on and so forth.
At least I'm satisfied that she didn't get her job based on her looks.
So this Edgerly creature tells her nephew that something is coming down. How does he repay her? By dropping a dime on her! Dishonor among thugs.
Yeah
I thought that was sad.
