Example #1: The "smoking gun photo" that he released after last year's debate, which (he claimed) showed Davis accepting a campaign contribution in a State office; Which instead was a legitimate donation made in a private home.
Example #2: Going into business, including giving over $23 million dollars, with a publicly-known and federally-convicted "drug lord," before waiting for the results of a background check that his firm authorized.
Not to defend Davis (he needs to go!!) but Simon's baggage combined with Sal Russo's incompetence at running a campaign, threaten to split the anti-Davis vote in the Recall. In fact, it makes the Recall precisely what the Democrats say it is: A re-run of last year's election.
In my opinion, over one million Californians who signed those petitions deserve better.
I believe the "firm" in question did not perform as they were requested. The investigating co. came back with a negative report -- meaning they didn't dig deep enough. So in this case the Simons were defrauded by 1) a crook and 2) incompetence from a nationally known investigative firm.
Anyway the only ones who spout this junk (or for that matter believe it) are the left wing hacks. Simon has been vindicated over and over again since the last election.
