Paul Babeu's Mexican Ex-Lover Says Sheriff's Attorney Threatened Him With DeportationIn one series of texts Jose provided, the sheriff himself appears to be threatening his former lover:
Babeu: "You can never have business after this and you will harm me and many others in the process . . . including yourself & your family."
Babeu followed with: "And you say you have loved me? Papi . . . this is no good."
Jose responded: "Good threats. Wont work. Im already hurt me . . . and you didn't care."
Then later:
Jose: "Dont threat me. Thats illegal. Im just speaking . . . true."
Babeu: "You have crossed the line. Better get an attorney. You brother will also be contacted."
Soon after, DeRose sent an e-mail directly to Jose ordering him to "cease and desist."
Babeu contended during the press conference that his attorney was contacting Jose and Jose's lawyer about Jose's tampering with campaign websites, that there were never any threats about Jose's getting deported -- but Jose and Weiss-Riner dispute the sheriff's claim.
I don't see any threat to deport him in that but if that's good enough for you then what the hey!
My comments primarily and unabashedly decry the sheriff’s lifestyle of deception.
I also noted it would be “especially” problematic if the sheriff was also abusing his office by threatening to deport one of his former homosexual lovers.
For most common-sense people, a lifestyle of deception is a vice that disqualifies a person for public office.
