L.A. Times: Mayor Karen Bass Is Deleting Her Text Messages
Breitbart ^ | 03/09/2025 | Joel B Pollack

Posted on 03/09/2025 6:45:19 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is deleting her text messages, thus defeating efforts by media organizations to obtain them as government communications subject to public records requests, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The Times reported that it had been unable to obtain Bass’s text messages concerning her overseas trip to Ghana, during which the L.A. fires broke out, because they were automatically deleted and the city had not retained them.

Isn’t deleting government records a crime?

Oh yeah, it’s only a crime when we do it.

I question whether she can even write the idiotic messages that are (or were) there.

The headline should read Bass is Still the Mayor with the following story- ‘no one can believe this woman is still the mayor. Here’s what we know about why she’s still mayor…’

There's plenty of proof Bass was there.

That's Bass on the left in purple with Pelosi in yellow w/ a horde of Black Congressional delegates sent by Biden on the taxpayers' dime. Biden left no stone unturned to suck up to third-rate Ghana.

What a stupid idiot. Her carrier can get the text messages with a subpoena.

Most cell carriers retain messages for a year. So by deleting 2 years of messages she's probably effectively destroying half, subpoenas be damned.

Also, I think you're taking the phrase 'text message' too literally. The term in current usage is far more than SMS- it includes things like iMessage (iPhone to iPhone) and a variety of services like WhatsApp with the same functionality- none of which will be messages retained by the carrier.

So yeah, she actually is destroying evidence...

Musta been plenty of money laundering going on in piss poor Ghana.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

Examples of Projects:

They have also provided support for initiatives like the Feed the Future Ghana Fisheries Recovery Activity and the Low-cost Private School Activity.

USAID has equipped regional medical stores with smart temperature monitoring systems and provided funding for a national vaccine cold room.
Recent Funding:

In 2023, USAID provided over $150 million for health, economic growth, agriculture, education, and more.

On the last mayoral...

https://laist.com/news/politics/2022-election-california-general-live-results-los-angeles-city-mayor-bass-caruso

“...The contest was a virtual dead heat on Election Night. Caruso pulled slightly ahead last Thursday, but since then Bass gained a steady lead...”

Sound familiar?

Bass knows what’s coming.

It’s not the responsibility of the recipient to refrain from deleting emails from her inbox, it’s the responsibility of the sysadmins to ensure that emails are copied to archival storage, regardless of what the user might do.

Ironic that the LASlimes is complaining about someone else covering up their secrets when this lousy paper is STILL covering up, hiding Obozo’s anti- American talk to a bunch of Muslim terrorists and enablers, supporters from when he was a candidate

The force runs strong in Karen Bass, the force of idiocy.

She’s the same person who launched an investigation on why no one told her about the fire danger in LA before she went to Ghana.

WHAT a stupid cow this woman is!

She smirked her way into a cushy ‘do nothing’ job …then didn’t have the good sense to pretend taking responsibility. She didn’t even make a pretense of demonstrating the appropriate 'optics' of duty or accountability!!!!

nothing says “honest, above board, accountable” like hiding the truth, the grift and the blame.
