The easiest way to identify the local is the modern art work on the right-hand wall. This is huge, would not be duplicated in two offices, could not be easily moved, is probably by someone who passes for an artist in California, and probably bears a cost (though not necessarily a value) of more than $6,000.
That artwork alone should identify whether the background is Davis' office in Sacramento, or his campaign office in L.A. (The trees outside the rear window don't look like an L.A. scene, either.)
Experts in photo analysis would have to say whether the pattern of the flash on the men and on the door frames behind Davis to the left of the photo, match or do not match. That aspect is beyond my expertise. But identifying that painting and where it was located in 1998 should be a snap.

Re#91 Agreed. That art piece is one of a kind. The "High Public Official" may not be able to worm his way out of this one. Indeed, that letter has not yet been released and will, like with the Torch's Chang letter, shine a little more detail under this Rat's rock. Hopefully, it will have a like effect (putting aside the substitution of candidates)..
