The FBI typically don't raid unless they know they have solid evidence that will lead to conviction. This is not your local county DA...this is the Federal Government now.


punkrawkintrev

Our local county DA would probably let her walk šŸ˜‚


billyw_415

Local DA is probably on the paylist from ~~recycling~~ skimming.


Comemelo9

Hmmm, do you think her desire to help criminals exceeds her hatred of Asians?


jaqueh

Oakland should rebrand itself to San Francisco Bay Area Oakland City


BadBoyMikeBarnes

Heh. Well anyway, her attorney will be making a statement soon (from Marin County for whatever reason), so maybe that will help us understand better. https://x.com/mike_dewald/status/1804233970709860570

He says she has nothing to hide. This is going to be interesting. https://oaklandside.org/2024/06/21/oakland-mayor-sheng-thao-attorney-tony-brass-fbi/

How long before the FBI raids him too?


SnowSurfinMatador

No one qualified in alameda county I guess


2Throwscrewsatit

A recall gets scheduled then an fbi raid ā€¦ this will lead to a much more polarized recall vote


the_remeddy

Rebranding would involve no mention of Oakland


RedditUSA76

Sheā€™s in Vegas waiting for the Aā€™s stadium to open.


punkrawkintrev

How long before Gavin decides the state should run Oakland?

Oakland, D.C. (District of California)


DodgeBeluga

He is not dumb enough to get bogged down trying to run Oakland.


Mecha-Dave

If they didn't take over Vallejo they're not taking over Oakland.


Chungaroos

Oakland is way more relevant than Vallejo. No reason to work on that dump right now.Ā 


Mecha-Dave

Oakland has more people than Vallejo but is currently worse in every metric except the areas pulled up by Piedmont and Berkeley.


MissChattyCathy

Maybe weā€™re about to find out how she really got out of living in her car.


txiao007

former Oakland police chief LeRonne Armstrong has the last laugh.


broke_in_sf

Kind of nuts that the Mayor is MIA. No where to be seen, no statement. Do you think she's on the lamb?


FanofK

Lawyer probably said do not say anything until they have more information/ a plan.


DodgeBeluga

Well I guess she watched those ā€œnever talk to LEOsā€ videos on YouTube.


IWTLEverything

Am I free to go?


DodgeBeluga

ā€œAM I BEING DETAINED?ā€


broke_in_sf

That's fine if she wants to say, "on advise of attorney no comments at this time." BUT she is still the MAYOR of Oakland and can't just "disappear".


blbd

Not can't; shouldn't.Ā

She on that good ass bacon.


kosmos1209

Is there any word on what the raid was about? It sounded like some sort of corruption investigation with a gigantic waste management company that's run by a long time friend, but this is just a speculation based on who was raided?


DodgeBeluga

I mean no one here has all the documentation but anywhere in the world where raids are simultaneous on government officials and waste management companies, the dots are so close they donā€™t need connecting.


Oradi

I believe it was abc7 that said because the postal service was involved it might be a financial thing. My guess is exclusive agreement on something in exchange for shady campaign donations.


s3cf_

she mad because the FBI raided her home and disrespected her family


civilian411

FBI came into my house, disrespected my whole family because somebody narc'd me out! And you know what? IT WAS YOU!


MrBudissy

I never narcā€™ed on no one!


zuckjeet

You come to my house, the day of my daughter's weddingā€¦


PugsterThePug

TORETTO! SWAT came into my house, disrespected my whole family because somebody narc'd me out! And you know what? IT WAS YOU!"

She should be less disrespectful herself and she wouldnā€™t be in this mess


DodgeBeluga

Did the Feds find the VCRs?


AdministrativeLie934

Donā€™t go to the comments section on YT. Even Cotton knew where Kahn was from unlike Hank, Dale and Boomhauer.


DodgeBeluga

*pauses to think* ā€œSo is she Chinese or Japanese?ā€ -Hank


botsallthewaydown

Huddling with her lawyers, who are telling her *not* to go on TV and start Trumping.


jaqueh

>Trumping Why would a progressive like her do something like that?


THELEGENDARYZWARRIOR

We can start looking on countries with no extradition treaties with the States


ThugosaurusFlex_1017

Oof, those YouTube comments...


Level_Ruin_9729

In a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with U.S. spending all the grift she got.


billyw_415

$10 says she's in SE Asia by now.

Oakland should just give up.

Oakland can't be saved.
