UPDATE: The chart is updated with more open-source information. Jeez, that “Border Observer” free weekly sure has a chip on its shoulder about the FBI. Apart from the smarmy “FBI: We know drama” headline, one Jaime O. Perez leads off his opinion piece by calling the FBI “our local Gestapo.” “The Border Observer” has also printed some juicy opinions by persons involved and persons who want to be involved but won’t give their names. They’re too juicy for this blog.
The El Paso County corruption case continues to break, like tsunami waves washing over the desert in ever-expanding waves. More are sucked in, and it’s only a matter of time before YouTube has the story, it seems.
Quotable quotes:
El Paso Mayor John Cook: “Once I read it” (the letter saying his communications might have been tapped), “it didn’t concern me at all.”
County Judge Anthony Cobos: “I’m focused on county business, and I don’t have time to speculate on what people are or are not doing, I need to stay focused. I’m not getting distracted. If it’s out of my control, then I’m not going to worry about it.”
Below is a link chart of what we know so far. All names are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
So let’s get to the provin’, folks.
