People's from Oakland just hatred. She has nothing to hide. The reason why people's from Oakland not happy about because Sheng just fired one of Black Chief of Police. There's gotta be a reason the Chief did and got fired. City of Oakland had been messive and crimes for decades. Sheng just got into the office for a year. What you expect from her to clean up your mess garbage from previous Mayor. We should and needs to check every Senator, Congress, Judge, Governor, Mayor, DA, Chief of Police, etc. and recall them too. Everyone are not perfect.
The Duong's are under investigation for several illegal political campaign contributions. The Mayor maybe just one recipient, but what was the quid-pro-quo? Not so long ago Waste Management was the main trash pick up contractor and now is California Waste Solutions, the Duong's business. Maybe this was not the Mayor's doing. However, we are talking mega bucks, and this example is just the CIty. What about other politicians receiving illegal contributions?
I spent time walking and knocking, calling and coffee meetings in Libby Schaaf's two terms as Oakland Mayor. I voted blue up n down the ballot. WE ARE NOT THE MAGA PARTY. Unfortunately, we held our own feet to the fire, sending Al Franken to the showers, later regretting it. We do not tolerate this crap in our party. We cannot afford to be backpeddling and equivocating back n forth with fascists having any sort of, "Wuddabout Ummm, Hunter?"
@martinwalley oh that's rich. The entire Marxist party is very crooked. Proof of Hunter'scrimes of laundering bribes from foreign adversaries, through 20 shell corporations, is all about Joey Bribes, "the big guy". Joey and his brother and Hunter set it up. Now that the Marxists admitted everything on Hunter's laptop is authentically Hunter's, by using it for his defense of, "I was an addict, so I can't be held responsible for illegally acquiring a gun." Everyone knows the Marxist DNC owns the DOJ, FBI and CIA. That is how they got 53 "former" CIA officials to say "Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation". Now we have proof that they all lied. The laptop is significant, because it exposes Joe's crimes. No one cares what happens to his crack addict son. It's Joe that had his family launder bribes and honored the bribes against the best interest of the USA. The family and Joe took bribes from Russia, Ukraine, CCP, Romania and Kazakhstan and shuffled them around bank accounts for the shell corporations, that were flagged 150 times by the banks, for suspicion of money laundering. Hunter kept complaing in his emails that he had to use the many millions in bribes to pay his Dad's bills and for other family members. Joe himself, had a few email accounts under aliases. Why would Joe have to use aliases on secret email accounts?

Do you people think crime only exists in blue cities and states?

I left exactly 10 years ago. I have saved an entire YEARS salary in state income tax alone. Ok, I am deprived of the privilege for paying for illegals and their kids, for state employees who work half days then retire in their 50s with huge pensions, having my car broken into if I park it on the street, getting sucker punched for no reason at all, paying $5 a gallon for gas, 16 grand a year in property tax. instead of 3. Gov DeSantis has a 20 billion dollar surplus with no state income tax but Newsom managed an 80 billion shortfall with the highest state income tax in the nation. Oh, we have a 50 year low crime rate not soaring crime even when they don't count all the crime and down grade 60%.
A raid suggests that a federal judge issued a search warrant based on probable cause, meaning hard evidence in hand, that further evidence of criminal activity was located inside Thao's home. So it doesn't make sense that she allegedly is not a target or suspect.
If she's not the target and she's innocent then why does she need a former federal prosecutor as her lawyer? *Correction: everyone should retain a lawyer when speaking with law enforcement. The media appears to protect this mayor! Yes, I'm biased against the Mayor of Oakland. The city is over-run with crime and I believe that the mayor is either corrupt or incompetent. No one should have to live in a city where businesses must leave to protect the lives of their employees.
Everybody needs a lawyer when the FBI are interested in what's in your house. If he is a former federal prosecutor, he should be well versed in federal law, which is useful in this case.
Give her a no cash bail. Most criminals with any wealth will have a high price lawyer telling you they are looking forward to have the days in court to clear their name.
Here is a thought: Politicians are always ready to co-operate after the raid. Let us just see if she has that same co-operation as more information comes to light.
The social issues in Oakland have been there for decades. People won't expect the new mayor to solve those problems in just few months. It's impossible.
