The act of sealing the deal over a business meal wasn’t lost on Huizar. There’s a reason why the word “restaurant” appeared at least 10 times in the 138-page RICO indictment against him. L.A. TACO🌴🌮 @shoton35mm 👀 bit.ly/3oVIrmf

Wanted to give folks a content warning for tomorrow’s Smoke Screen Podcast . We will be talking about sexual harassment + abuse. We have to talk about it in order to talk about how this in many ways was the start of the alleged corruption in the RICO indictment.

Having friends in high places can get you far and Huizar was willing to help out his friends. The only catch was, they had to have deep pockets. 💰💰 bit.ly/3phWuCT L.A. TACO🌴🌮 Lexis-Olivier Ray

These incidents never occur in a vacuum, but when this is the culture at City Hall, it affects governance and policy for all of LA. Smoke Screen Podcast has done great work showing how the actions of LA elected officials have a real-life impact on constituents x.com/SmokeScreenPod…

Episode 7: The Cover Up. Huizar’s downfall started with a sexual harassment lawsuit. To pay the costly settlement, he had to rely on a new friend. A friend who just so happened to be a developer with plans to build a 77-story hotel in downtown LA. 👉link.chtbl.com/sLYW2SwX
