District Attorney George Gascon has criminally charged a Los Angeles County sheriff’s lieutenant as punishment after Gascon was criticized in the media over lax prosecution standards against international drug cartels, Sheriff Alex Villanueva says.
“Justice is supposed to be blind, but with Gascon in office, anything goes,” Villanueva said. “This appears to be happening because we challenged Gascon’s soft-on-cartel policies.
”Villanueva is referring to a Washington Examiner investigation that exposed a bevy of marijuana growers that seemingly operate with impunity in the desert region of Los Angeles County. The growers suck dry valuable water from wells to feed their thirsty crops in an era in which drought is devastating the state’s farming industry.
Sheriff’s Lt. Howard Fuchs heads a task force aimed at shutting down the cartels, but he told the Washington Examiner that it’s difficult to convince Gascon to file any charges even though he has the evidence.
As a result, Fuchs says, Gascon charged him with two domestic violence charges two days before the one-year statute of limitations ended.
Although the charges are misdemeanors and likely carry no jail time, the fallout would cause Fuchs to lose his job because he would be prohibited from carrying a gun.
“Ironically, if a kid is walking around with a loaded gun, that’s OK because he can’t be charged under Gascon’s policies,” Villanueva said.The sheriff is referring to a Gascon mandate that prohibits prosecutors from utilizing a state law that can tack on a gun possession charge to another crime, resulting in up to life in prison.

District Attorney George Gascon = Soros-bought DA
The Cartels are carving out quite a little empire for themselves in Southern California. California politicians seem to prefer the Sinaloa Cartel over the CJNG.
The Sheriffs person must support Trump.
The Sheriffs person must support Trump.
this SOB really needs to be removed.
“this SOB really needs to be removed.”
Sadly nothing prevents this and there is no recourse against these DA’s, This cop can sue the city/state but then the citizens are to pay if he wins and this guy still will walk away. Messed up system we have that these DA’s have no personal accountability for their actions.
Gascon is Soros’ greatest success and one of the greatest threats to actual justice in America.
The communists known as democrats even attack their own. No one is safe from communists.
