There was a rumor back in the pre-recall Gray Davis days that one of his campaign honchos had an affair with another campaign higher-up. The husband of the female staffer booted her out. He found her laptop afterwards and fired it up. Allegedly, the first thing that popped up was a spreadsheet on fundraising. Who the gov was going to meet with, what their issue was, how much the gov wanted, etc. Very much quid pro quo and seemingly very illegal. Husband allegedly walked the laptop into the LA Slimes and handed it over. It must not be true because they never did a story on it.
There was a specific instance of Gray Davis asking for a $100,000 contribution in a meeting held in the Governor’s office that was reported by someone who was there...
I don’t understand your point.
