We're still waiting Baca...

Well we have been waiting for the LASD Sheriff's report since June 12. Still nothing. More as we learn it. I think it is quite obvious that Sheriff Baca did not want to let Hilton out early like the other inmates (knowing there would be press cries about unfair treatment) so they cooked up this medical excuse which everyone knows is a sham. Sort of like Alberto Gonzales saying that he had a right to fire the US Attorneys for any reason at all (likely political) after earlier blaming it on poor performance. State the real reason the first time. Be up front about it. Sooner or later the truth will come out.

LAAG is also having a good laugh at the blow back that City Attorney Rocky Delgadio is getting over all his dirty laundry that came to light due to his Hilton pressure. Makes you wonder about all the dirt in city/county politics than never comes to light as no one is digging. Well LAAG has a tiny shovel and a big pile of BS to get through.
