COPS held a press conference this morning and produced photographs of Davis accepting the check in his govt office in Sacramento. Apparently you can actually read the amount on the check.
I will have copies here very soon. I'll probably create a separate thread and PING everyone.
So the photo allows us to differentiate between his state capitol office (fundraising - naughty) and his campaign office (fundraising - okay). Is that the gist? I imagine some further digging around could locate itineraries from that date showing whether Davis was in Sacramento or LA (or both).
I zoomed in on it, but can't read the amount. Perhaps it's readable in the actual photo.
