No sane person under investigation would speak publicly without the consent of their attorney, especially a seasoned former prosecutor. Everything her former campaign manager said now sounds even more credible.
Word. A content creator said Brass resigned because she didn't read the speech he prepared for her (and that's putting it mildly). Another reminder of how the wrong people can f**k up your business..
If your client isn't following your advice or even notifying you of a press conference, and her actions are making it impossible to succeed, why would you stay?
You gotta love that only one person clapped when she finished - They were packed in the room like sardines and even her staff wants her gone. PRICELESS !"
She's already opened her pie hole and spoken as though she is the target, which means she feels guilty of something. There is a proverb in scripture which reads, "The wicked flee when no one pursues." Very true.
You shouldnt have to pay off "the Higher Ups" to attain and keep your job or your standing on a waiting list for affordable housing. Last time i checked, this is ILLEGAL!!
Attorney Tony Brass maybe you can also be interested just hearing this Chinese mayor in Bamban , Tarlac who have an identity problem and other charges to her !
No, he has not. He did not mention any privileged conversations they had. He just announced that he no longer represents her because he doesn't want the press calling him.
The mayor sounds like a left-wing conspiracy theorists who blames everything on people with more money than her until they have breakdown one day and blames it everyone 😂😂😂
*Raise you hand ✋️ if you've ever had your house raided by the FBI. Also raise your hand if anyone you've ever known has been raided by the FBI. Let that sink in Wokeland. The Girl-King of Wokeland had enough dirt for a Federal judge to authorize a raid*
Based on your rhetoric, I can tell oxygen to your brain is in short supply. So I will make this really simple: It's not the left that continuously defends politicians who are the subject of criminal cases.
Sorry, but our clients don't manage us. They assist us in their representation. They do not decide legal strategy. When they think they do and can tell us the law or how best to approach the legal system, then it's time to end the relationship.
She didn’t do anything bad. It’s just people are out for her because she’s Asian. Black folks think Oakland belongs to black folks so they want only black leaders
You need to hear the mayor's former chief of staff who resigned during the transition after the election. She points to the unlawful behavior of the mayor's significant other. This was two days ago.
He doesn't know she's guilty, he knows that she doesn't listen to him, and no lawyer wants to be part of a high-profile case in which their client doesn't listen to their advice That's what a lawyer is, essentially, is a legal advisor, but if you don't listen to your lawyer's advice, what good is the lawyer? And the lawyer will be made to look like a fool because it will appear as if the lawyer is giving bad advice when the client loses in court...so that's why lawyers bail when their clients don't listen...
@@silentmajority8365 She could be guilty of something (who knows what?) or she could not be. I don't think that's why he bowed out. I think he bowed out because he told her specifically not to do or say something, and she did the exact opposite of what he said. At that point, he was probably like "okay I'm done"
He probably advised her not to speak, or asked her to plead guilty and she refused and continued on with her speech. So he wiped his hands on off this.
@@summer031977 WTH! YOU MEAN, I NEED A TOP NOTCH LAWYER? SHE HAD A TOP NOTCH LAWYER AND SHE TOOK IT UPON HERSELF TO DO THINGS HERSELF AND THAT WAS WRONG. THATS WHY HE LEFT HER.
It’s not a good look when your lawyer bails out on you. It could mean that the lawyer didn’t think the client was bring honest with him. When that happens, a smart lawyer says “Adios, amigo!”
Obviously, she bailed out on the lawyer over the weekend, and he found out Monday morning, during and after the press conference, when he realized she had a totally different story, than the one he'd initially pitched to her.
Ethics Commission and the state Fair Political Practices Commission have been investigating allegations that executives at California Waste Solutions, namely members of the Duong family, used “straw donors” to circumvent donation limits and fill the campaign coffers of public officials. On Thursday, as federal agents walked out with boxes from Thao’s home, agents also executed warrants at the Oakland office of Cal Waste Solutions, which provides recycling services to the city, FBI officials confirmed. Agents also searched the homes of the company’s chief executive, David Duong; and his son, Andy Duong, a purchasing agent who is in charge of the company’s public relations
It’s hard to represent someone that basically admits to wrong doing and then plays the victim card as the defense. She blew his defense up with that speech.
That’s not what that means at all. Attorneys are human beings and businesspeople. They withdraw for good and bad reasons. He probably heard the Mayor has no representation and got ahead of being fired by a client.
@@A6ugslife What do you mean by “her case doesn’t have merit”? She’s not a plaintiff in a civil action. That language is only used when a plaintiff wants to sue at law or at equity. You appear to be saying that the Mayor’s potentially guilty of whatever eventual charges might appear, but there’s no evidence that the government is going to mount a case. And even so, the government would have to prove its case, and a decent defense lawyer would ensure that the government has does just that!
@@alfredvalrie5541 Her case has no merit simply means should she sue anyone, it won’t hold up in court. She may not be the target of the investigation, but she is associated with the people the FBI is probing as seen through photographs.
It means that she went rough, just like he said. That press conference was pathetic for so many reasons. Makes her impossible to defend if she doesn't listen to him, guilty or innocent.
she decided she needed a lawyer with even GREASIER hair than her original one....gonna need the absolute fanciest law-talkin' to worm out of this mess she's dug for herself!!
Anybody find it odd that she blamed it on a right-wing Conspiracy from billionaires in San Francisco ( Which in and of itself is an oxymoron).... As if they're going to spend millions of dollars of campaign resources to affect the politics in a city that votes Democrat by a margin of 80%...
There are ordinances that billionaires throw money at, the real movers throw money at both sides so they have leverage with whoever wins. She is trying to use the same defense that Trump used, but she doesn't have any supporters left. She is grasping for straws, basically crying "why didn't I get a deal" I would have ratted out those above me. You dropped the ball, campaign finance fraud & the people are trying to recall you before? Her best bet is trying to resign, the longer she tries to hold that position while not doing the job, the more details of your incompetence will come out, some of them will be crimes.
Never a good sign when your attorney resigns after two days. The mayor is listening to TERRIBLE political advice, although I'm not sure there is any good advice to be given except resign......In the end I'm pretty sure she's going to blame her boyfriend (the father of her children). She'll claim she didn't know what he was doing.
he was all for it until he looked into those giant boxes there is no way in hell he is going down with the ship his attorney career would go down the drain for sure he is high tailing it out of town just as fast as he can. smart man. I would have nothing to do with this madness if I was a attorney. man I bet her basement looked like King Tuts Tomb those were some very big boxes the FBI was rolling around on them dollies.crazy crazy stuff man.
Thanks Mayor Thao, 90% of the businesses are closed, homelessness run amok but you find time to line your own pockets with pay to play politics. Could have been a bright light for the Hmong culture but greed got in the way....Allegedly
Wow just wow. If i ws her everything every move from then on forward always consult your attorney. She messed up on that part and now the man aint wana help her 🤦♀️😵💫😵💫🫣🫣🫠🫠👀👀👀😮💨😮💨😮💨
There is this mayor in Bambam , Tarlac Alice GUO who is charges of several things , she was also the owner / operator of illegal casino , sex trafficking, stolen identity ? She is Chinese of origin ! it is now a big news in the Philippines , on senate hearing and other things ! 😂😂😂

No she did not come with the “I broke up with him first!” defense. At this point you know she’s lying cause her mouth is moving..
On the Sopranos didnt Tony always say he was in "Waste Management"?
The live-feed of the speech getting cut off was weird
yeah i was watching it as well and like wtf????
Everyone is jumping ship.😂😂😂
She will be gone soon!!
Corrupt Mayor who knew? lol
If she’s “seeking council now” she must be a target in someway for some reason. Just wonderin’ 🤷🏻♀️
Yea but if she was rich none of this would be happening.
Yay!
Disgrace
Oakland A’s are leaving for Sacramento and then Las Vegas because of Mayor Thao’s corrupt practices.
Aw.
Sheng Thao for Governor
Incompetence and arrogance
Wow what an incredible lawyer hard to one nowadays to be able to choose a client that resonate with your values not the number
It's pretty clear that her partner is the target.

Smart lawyer. Get out while you can before she destroys your reputation

This is becoming a total distraction, which is the last thing Oakland needs. Do the right thing and step down, Sheng.

Oakland needs to recall itself. Remove the city from all maps. Start from scratch.
Oakland, a shining beacon of the success of progressive thinking!! 😂
What happened??
This illustrates what a rookie the mayor is. I doubt she intended to lose her attorney.

Shut up
I’m he search warrant only tells of the items they are looking for and why they think they are at the particular location.

Victimhood
It’s hard to represent someone that basically admits to wrong doing and then plays the victim card as the defense. She blew his defense up with that speech.
