Thread: FBI Reportedly Probes L.A. City Attorney

I hope something comes of this! Villareconquista needs to be next!!

LOS ANGELES A spokesman for Rocky Delgadillo said Tuesday that the Los Angeles city attorney has yet to be informed that he is the subject of an FBI criminal investigation, as was reported in a San Francisco newspaper.

The San Francisco Chronicle Tuesday quoted sources familiar with the reported investigation as saying that San Francisco-based agents recently went to Los Angeles to conduct interviews in what appears to be a wide-ranging probe of the 48-year-old Delgadillo.

But Delgadillo's spokesman, Nick Velasquez, said in a telephone interview Tuesday morning that no agents have interviewed the city attorney and that he has not been told that he is the subject of a criminal probe.

The investigation is being run out of San Francisco because conflict of interest concerns might arise if the case were assigned to the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles, which sometimes works cases with the city attorney, the Chronicle reported.

"Any allegation of wrongdoing is nothing but trash," Velasquez said, expressing certainty that Delgadillo's political opponents were behind any such claims. Now in his second four-year term, Delgadillo plans to run for state attorney general.

Velasquez said his boss was the victim of "classic political assassination."

Faulting the Chronicle article for including accounts of Delgadillo's previous ethical lapses, Velasquez accused the newspaper of carrying out a "hatchet job" through a story that was "over the top and nasty."

Delgadillo admitted last year that he had his city-owned SUV repaired at taxpayers' expense after his wife hit a pole in a parking lot. He has also acknowledged that he used city employees to run personal errands for him and to babysit his children, but he denied misusing taxpayers' funds.

Let's see, city employees are paid with taxpayers funds. City employees running errands and babysitting his kids are paid with taxpayer funds. How is that NOT misuse? His wife hit a pole and taxpayers paid to fix the car (why does he need an SUV in LA anyway?). How is that not misuse?

What the pudding:

What? No screams of racism? I am shocked and surprised.

Hang in there VT! They are saving the "race card" defense until after Rocky is actually indicted! Rest assured though...we will get there!

Because the streets are a broken up mess, just like in Mexico.

THIS SHOULD BE GOOD. SOME END OF THE SUMMER ENTERTAINMENT.

This is GREAT news!!!

Delgadillo is part and parcel of the corruption of Mexico in L.A....he even lied about getting a football scholarship to Harvard!

He belongs in prison, along with Villar and the rest of the Mexican mafia! But instead...he wants to run for Atty. General! HE HAS NO SHAME!
