Huntington Park, CA - The 80-20 rule applies in corruption. 80% of corruption
is done by 20% of public officials. Most of Southern California's pubic corruption
is done right here in heavy Latino cities of Los Angeles County, and Huntington
Park is Ground Zero, Rosario Marin's home. Is it any wonder why the highest
ranking Hot Latina Republican, appointed by President Bush as U.S. Treasurer and
now serving California's Governor, is off limits to the Attorney General's office?
Rosario Marin, former councilwoman here, conspired to award million-dollar
no-bid rigged contracts to her friends, like Francisco Leal, who became city
attorney here in exactly the same way he was caught in a conspiracy in Carson. City
of Bell Councilman George Cole's Oldtimers Foundation is the recipient of a rigged
$4 million city transportation contract along with Fiesta Taxi. Rosario Marin is the
top ranking Latina in the state's Republican Party. The U.S. Attorney General will
not investigate Marin. WatchOurCity.com has four years of reports on Rosario
Marin, councilman John Noguez and Francisco Leal's corruption here.
There's something fishy going on in the L.A.'s Attorney General's office. Mukasey
defends what now seems like Orwelian logic: Vow to crackdown on public
corruption by dismantling the Public Corruption Unit in the L.A. office? Who's
being protected? Senator Diane Feinstein sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General
Mukasy on March 26 concerning dimsmantling of the L.A. Public Corruption Unit
(click to view). O'Brien, head of L.A. office, threatened prosecuters to remain silent.

"No city should have to go through what
we went through with this guy. He was a
cancer to the city", a report from
Saturday's Daily Breeze newspaper,
March 22, 2008.
WatchOurCity.com has been reporting
about the Harvard trained city attorney
and his corrupt practices in local
Southeast L.A. County cities. Rosario
Marin, head of the State's Consumer
Affairs Division, former U.S. Treasurer
and ex-Huntington Park councilwoman,
directed her protege city council slate in
Huntington Park to award Leal the city
attorney contract in closed-door session
without competing bids; John Noguez was
showered with thousands of dollars in
campaign contributions from Francisco
Leal. The closed-session vote in favor of
Leal was led by Marin's favorite two
proteges, Edward Escareno, now a
convicted felon, and councilman John
Noguez.
This just as the Feds have dismantled
their Public Corruption Unit last week.

U.S. Attorney Disbands
L.A. Public Corruption
Unit
Bad public policy on Good Friday.
Bad news for the public. Good news for local corrupt public
officials.
Huntington Park, CA - The U.S. attorney in Los Angeles has
disbanded the public corruption unit which prosecuted local
high profile cases such as city of South Gate's Treasurer Albert
Robles and Lynwood's mayor Paul Richards.
The L.A. Times reports Thursday that Thomas P. O'Brien, head
of the L.A. U.S. attorney's office, ordered the dismantling of 17
attorneys last week who were dedicated to prosecuting public
corruption cases.
O'Brien's official reason for the dismantling? Alice in
Wonderland logic at best, Orwellian logic at worst: Disband the
public corruption unit in order to increase production of more
public corruption cases. How to put this delicately, what the
F$%#?
Truly a head scratcher. Any freshman college student taking
Logic 101 can instantly recognize that O'Brien's argument
does not hold water: the argument is not sound nor valid. This
is shocking use of logic for a U.S. attorney, in charge of 230
other attorneys no less, and curiously backed by his home
office in Washington D.C. on top of it. He knows better, of
course.
This smells of the same foul cauldron of reasoning served to
justify firings of U.S. attorneys, an effort facilitated by
discredited Alberto Gonzales, former U.S. Attorney General,
who preferred being a lapdog rather than a watchdog.
Gonzales claimed under oath in Congressional testimony that
he had no recollection of critical decisions leading to the
firings (click to see complete report).
