We're back! So, in addition to DCA and FCC fines the cmte might be in trouble w/CA EDD for violating AB5. They wouldn't hire the CA-based firm that qual'd Prop 6 and Newman recall bc they were too expensive. That's bc they follow AB5, and they're meticulous abt pre-verification.

So they hired this firm that was already being sued in FL and had a history of shadiness but which had no qualms directly paying independent contractors. Misclassification claims can cost LTVD *and the cmte* $25k per person misclassified. Yes, it's a terrible law, but going ...

..against Gascón they have to know they will be scrutinized and make sure there will be nothing to find.

And we haven't even gotten to the "digital fundraising firm" Winning Tuesday, part of Campaign Solutions, who were paid more than $1M. If you donated online, text, or email the campaign got AT MOST 40% of it. Remember, they already had all the infrastructure from 1st recall..

.. and CS/Winning Tuesday's contract was REJECTED during the 1st recall but after Vandenberg et al took over they handed a contract to do it over to these ppl. Read it and get nauseous

And yet, Vandenberg is taking actions to attempt to interfere with my employment and unknown recall gascon cmte members are trying to have other journos "debunk" my truthful, well-documented reporting instead of concentrating on examining each and every signature Dean Logan DQ'd

... other things have been threatened by her in an attempt to shut me up and allow them to keep setting the narrative they want, which I don’t believe is the truth based on my research and interviews.

In addition to believing that the ppl of LA deserve the truth, THAT is why I'm here laying it all out. I wasn't able to be out defending myself when Katie Hill set the "revenge porn" narrative and it stuck. I'll be damned if I allow them to define "truth" by muzzling me.

🧵 INTERESTING: Petition to get tribal online sports betting on Nov ballot- same paid sig gathering firm as #recallgascon-failed 5% random check so will go to 100% sig validation. BUT only 56 dups out of 53,000 sigs in sample. That projects to under 1500 dups for 1.3 lM collected

Also, there were just shy of 500k submitted in LA County, with only 19 dups. Dean Logan's found a much lower percentage of valid signatures overall than in #recallgascon. So what gives with the massive difference in dups? Less than 1% vs more than 6%.

Jennifer Van Laar Same petition vendor as the taxpayer protection measure that's also undergoing verification. (That one has a little more breathing room, though). elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ballot-measure…

Hmmmm.... backs up my reporting. Will she threaten to sue EVERYONE for defamation, or just me? I'm speaking as an individual here and not my employer when I say, again, pound sand. citywatchla.com/index.php/cw/l…

As I said two weeks ago about the conservative outlets allowing the Recall Gascon consultants to continue to try to cover their butts by using talking points about things being "rigged" or bloated voter rolls to deflect from the real issue - their incompetence

Yes!! All conservative groups use CA - esp Newport Beach and Beverly Hills - as ATM's while they point and laugh at what we deal with every day, and refuse to help. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

$1.4 million wasted the first time and the same group entrusted with nearly 6 times as much the 2nd time only to produce the exact same result- Why? Why weren't the warnings heeded?? citywatchla.com/index.php/cw/l…

Imagine if RecallDAGeorgeGascon hadn't demanded to be the sole committee with false assurances that only they could get the job done. #AbjectFailure (Now this kind of treatment to those employed as campaign staff.)

And it was because of warning signs for things just like this from the first effort (run by the same RecallDAGeorgeGascon group) that RGN RecallGasconNow formed and why RecallDAGeorgeGascon didn't want them around for the second effort (well that and wanting total control of all the $$) 👇👇

Such a shame that on this Constitution Day that @GeorgeGascon continues to trample the Constitution and the rights of victims to be afforded justice. Such a shame RecallDAGeorgeGascon "professionals" refused to take a big tent approach that could've made Gascon's recall successful.

How badly did RecallDAGeorgeGascon screw up an effort to have both RedState and Christine Soto DeBerry call them out?? 🙄

He gained prominence as a prosecutor in the Gabriel Fernandez and Anthony Avalos murder cases. Now Deputy D.A. Jonathan Hatami says he's running to unseat embattled L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón in 2024. The contentious race shaping up - This morning at 6 from ABC7
