I know it's been a rough ride for L.A. City Council, the past SIX YEARS of Zuma Dogg & Matt Dowd, at the City Council meetings, but today, it was CLEARLY more than council can take at this point. WE ARE CLEARLY THE WET FISH, FLAPPING AROUND, GETTING UNDER THEIR SKIN, and TODAY, ESPECIALLY on Mitch "Bitch Dicklander" Englander's little nerves, as he huffed and puffed -- was FLATLY shut down by the City Attorney, and then stormed out the door, like a little spoiled brat, which he is. Then Puffy-Pumpkin-Head-Putz-Paul Koretz had to pop up like a pop tart to pop off at the mouth (FOR MORE THAN 50 WORDS, IN VIOLATION OF THE BROWN ACT) to whine like a confused PUSSY about Mr. Dogg. I'll be back on Wednesday to clarify for you, PUFFY-PUMPKIN-HEAD-POP-UP-LIKE-A-POP-TART-PUTZ-PAUL! AND FIX YOUR POTHOLE CORRIDOR, Aka: YOUR ENTIRE DISTRICT! The Mercedes & BMW drivers are getting pissed, Paul! (AND, you are NOW one the examples for the FEDERAL JUDGE in DOWD/DOGG'S FEDERAL LAWSUIT, of which "Code of Conduct" is yet to be ruled.) It's all in the video, along with the grand finale, blaze of glory exit by Mr. Dowd, at the end of this video:
Mr. Dowd debuted, this week in 2006, followed by Mr. Dogg, 1st week of April 2006. Both are now WINNERS vs TRUTANICH & CITY CLOWNCIL in a FEDERAL SUIT...you are STILL violating our speech (MORE examples for the FEDERAL JUDGE)...and DOWD/DOGG will be delivering THIS type of HEAT, ALL THE WAY THROUGH OCTOBER, when the jury decides how much to award DOWD/DOGG, after 6 years of violations. (And we wanted to settle. But Trutanich has outside counsel at $225-$300, per attorney, plus $125/hr for legal secretary. ALL FOR DOWD/DOGG...PLUS CITY ATTORNEY TIME AND MONEY...and we wanted to settle! OH WELL...SEE YOU FROM NOW, THROUGH OCTOBER!) I LOVE IT!!! I'm running for mayor, and the TV exposure is a nice ancillary benefit. PEOPLE LOVE SEEING A GUY SPEAK THIS TYPE OF TRUTH! I WAS TOLD SO TODAY, BY THE CLERK AT TRADER JOE'S!

FBI agents probing misconduct allegations in the L.A. County Jail orchestrated an undercover sting in which they paid about $1,500 to a sheriff's deputy to smuggle a cellphone to an inmate, sources said.
The revelation is the first public indication that the FBI's investigations into allegations of inmate beatings and other deputy misconduct in the jails have uncovered possible criminal wrongdoing.
The FBI conducted the cellphone sting without notifying top Sheriff's Department brass, enraging Sheriff Lee Baca and causing a rift between the two law enforcement agencies.
Baca, who is scheduled to meet Tuesday with U.S. Atty. Andre Birotte Jr. to discuss the escalating tensions, went on television Monday to slam the FBI, saying smuggling a cellphone inside a secured lockup created a serious safety breach. Baca suggested that the FBI committed a crime by doing so.
"It's illegal," he said. "It's a misdemeanor and then there's a conspiracy law that goes along with it."
Baca has not responded to repeated interview requests from The Times to discuss the federal inquiries into his jails, the nation's largest. When asked about the deputy accused of smuggling the cellphone into the jail, Baca's spokesman Steve Whitmore would only say: "We're going to go wherever this investigation takes us."
The Times reported Sunday that federal authorities are investigating inmate beatings and other misconduct by deputies in the jails. The allegations include deputies breaking one inmate's jaw and beating another inmate for two minutes while he was unconscious.
In addition to the investigations surrounding the jails, federal authorities have two other inquiries involving the Sheriff's Department. Last month, the U.S. Department of Justice's civil rights division announced a broad "pattern and practice" investigation into allegations that deputies in the Antelope Valley discriminated against minority residents who receive government housing assistance. Also last month, The Times reported that a Sheriff's Department captain had been put on leave after federal agents suspected hearing her voice on a wiretap of a suspected Compton drug ring.
Sources said Monday that the deputy allegedly caught in the sting accepted the money to smuggle the cellphone to the inmate, who was locked up at the Men's Central Jail. Unbeknownst to the deputy, the inmate was working as an informant for the FBI, sources said.
The deputy, Gilbert Michel, 38, resigned shortly after sheriff's officials put him on leave, , sources said. A source said the deputy, who has not been charged with a crime, is now the subject of a Sheriff's Department criminal investigation. Michel could not be reached for comment.
Federal officials have declined to comment on their investigations and the Sheriff Department's criticisms of their undercover operation.
Baca, however, spoke out Monday on KTTV-TV Channel 11's "Good Day L.A.", defending his department's record in the jails and blasting the FBI. He suggested that the federal inquiry was unnecessary because all allegations of abuse within the jails are thoroughly investigated internally, and vetted by the department's watchdog. [ZUMA DOGG SAYS, THEN CHECK YOUR INTERNAL INVESTIGATIVE SYSTEM. YOU JUST HAD AN FBI AGENT BRIBE A DEPUTY TO HAND OFF A CELL PHONE TO AN INMATE. YOU FAIL THE ZUMA DOGG "QUALITY CZAR TASTE-TEST."]
"We police ourselves," he said. [WHEN I READ THIS QUOTE...I REMEMBERED THAT LEE REMINDS ME OF LISTENING TO THE MICHAEL JACKSON AUDIO FROM CONRAD MURRAY'S CELL PHONE, FROM COURT TODAY.]
The sheriff also questioned whether the FBI had the know-how to investigate his jails. "What kind of experience do you have in dealing with all this? And to what extent do you know the policies, the procedures and even the law?" Baca asked of the FBI. [The experience is, bribe you boy and it gets the job done. I guess enough to know, it's illegal for your deputy to take a bribe to hand off a cell phone to an inmate. AND I GUESS YOU SHOULD BE ASKING ABOUT THE PROCEDURES..YOURS, NOT THEIRS! Haven't you heard, "FBI IS RUBBER...YOU ARE GLUE?]
He also criticized the FBI's use of an inmate informant, identifying him as a man facing 400 years in prison for armed robbery. "Jailhouse informants quite frankly are problematic," the sheriff said. [YEAH, that's why they cooperate. But even if he was facing 500 years, your boy still took the bribe to pass the baton to the prisoner. YOU SHOULD RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL LEE! YOUR CRYBABY-LOSER WHINY EXCUSES, SOUNDS JUST LIKE ERIC GARCETTI & YOUR KINGPIN RELATIVE ANTONIO VILARAIGOSA! (Report to same KINGPIN! And Gloria Molina is just ONE of them. It takes TWO for a RICO-RACKET TANGO in a region as LARGE as L.A. County.]
It's unclear how Baca's public critique of the FBI will affect the relationship between the two agencies, and more important, the many task forces, including one focusing on terrorism, in which the agencies serve together. [I think the relationship will be affected by a new Sheriff election, before agents fly back to D.C., from their trip to L.A. for Bell.]
After his criticism of the FBI investigation, Baca went on to promote an upcoming charity run, mentioning that the Sheriff's Department and the FBI would be in attendance.
"Will they be running from you or with you?" asked one reporter.
"Probably do a little of both," Baca responded.
[I BET THE CHARITY IS A NON-PROFIT RICO-RACKET, TOO. If not...why bother? I mean , REALLY?]
