In a court filing Tuesday, Chows legal team alleged that this time around, he was being selectively prosecuted by federal authorities ... FBI reports and wiretap evidence that suggest San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and others participated in public corruption schemes but were spared prosecution due to their political affiliations.

The Shrimp Boy’s (I love that name) attorneys also named a district attorney who is now on (paid-naturally) leave while she is being investigated. So far, the mayor Ed Lee has been proclaiming his innocence and giving the old cr*p that this is old news. This being Frisco, I am pretty sure he will skate but I am also pretty sure he is guilty as sin.
Go Shrimp Boy go!
As usual, the Brit newspapers’ reports are better than the heavily biased US MSM. From the Guardian story:
Specifically, the filing states, the FBI alleged in discovery that Ed Lee took substantial bribes in exchange for favors and that [San Francisco] human rights commissioners Nazly Mohajer and Zula Jones hustled in these bribes for the mayor.
The United States attorney asked for a Rico [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act] charge on [former school board president] Keith Jackson and [state senator] Leland Yee for similar conduct. Lee, Mohajer and Jones remain unindicted.
The motion also alleges that undercover FBI agents contributed illegally to campaigns in the city.
The filing states: The FBI shipped truckloads of fake stolen liquor and cigarettes across the country, contracted murder for hire on fake people, and agents paraded around with $20,000 watches posing as nouveau multi-cultural La Cosa Nostra.
“If the indictment is not dismissed, Chows lawyers are proposing an alternative: to have all records surrounding the decision to investigate Chow disclosed as pretrial discovery”
They won’t let that happen.
“I am pretty sure he will skate but I am also pretty sure he is guilty as sin.”
Corruption? San Francisco? Surely you jest LOL. San Franciso Pols are as crooked as a dogs back leg.
“Specifically, the filing states, the FBI alleged in discovery that Ed Lee took substantial bribes in exchange for favors and that [San Francisco] human rights commissioners Nazly Mohajer and Zula Jones hustled in these bribes for the mayor.”
What I see is that “cultural diversity” has lead us to these kinds of behavior. Those of our number who didn’t come from White Northern European backgrounds consider this kind of behavior “normal.” Graft and corruption in their native lands is seen as business as usual. Asians, South and Central Americans, and Middle Easterners whom we elect, tend to be steeped in corruption. As for the corrupt Blacks, the DemoRATs have created them with all of their welfare gifts, set asides and “poor me” rhetoric. Unfettered immigration without attention to the “needs” of our country has brought us to the brink of disaster, and it may not be reversible.
“Go Shrimp Boy go!”
Why do you push a gangster?
Because he is exposing the gangsters in government here in California. I would like to see a lot of politicians go down with him.
