PART III
CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL (CAG) PUBLIC CORRUPTION CONSPIRACY EXPANDING IN ALL DIRECTIONS, IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, IN 2011 & BEYOND
ALL INTERVIEW REQUEST DECLINED
THE LAW SAYS........
.....California Attorney Generals (CAG) Jerry Brown and Kamala Harris, and their public union staffs, have been actively conspiring to Obstructing Justice for at least seven (7) years in San Diego County, California. The criminal conspiracy is to cover at least fourteen (14) years of wide spread Public Corruption crimes, involving California law enforcement unions, their employees, judges, elected officials, & their political supporters.
(PART I) - (PART II)
In 2011 the California Attorney General's (CAG) Office entered the fourth year, of a seven year public agency "Organized Crime" spree, in San Diego County. With the belief, the worst of the public corruption exposures, were successfully buried. The 2010 Police and Firefighter union election fraud conspiracies were successful in large part, due to the CAG's protection from investigations. The Oceanside Police and Firefighter unions criminally defrauded their citizens of more than five (5) million dollars, in expanded pay and benefits, while seizing control over hiring and firing, to protect union jobs. At least ten years of wide spread Police, DA, and Judge evidence tampering was effectively protected, by the CAG suppression of complaints and investigation. The DA's Office quietly terminated three of the most obvious corrupt prosecutors, to protect the many, while the CAG provided cover, again. Democrat CAG Jerry Brown was elected as Governor, and Democrat Kamala Harris was elected as CAG, with the $44+ million dollar continuing support, of the same unions, that financed the Police and Firefighter election fraud, while the CAG protected the election fraud. The Superior Court Judges, aiding and abetting 10 years of evidence tampering corruption, were re-elected to the bench, with the support, and protection of the same Police, and DA unions, that were financing, and running all the evidence tampering, and election fraud conspiracies.
In early 2011 the CAG believed the previous three years of publicly exposed, major San Diego DA, and Oceanside Police public corruption conspiracies were contained, and being successfully buried. Unfortunately for the CAG, no one checked with the corrupt San Diego DA's Office, or the corrupt Oceanside Police Department. Many of the known, and unknown, San Diego DA and Oceanside Police's public corruption conspiracies, were still active, and expanding in 2011. The exposure of those conspiracies were the direct result of Civil Litigations, and subpoenas for records, the public agencies could not suppress.
The corruption would resurface with more public record evidence, with literally signed confessions, from DDA's, Police Officers, and Superior Court Judges. Hidden Public Record documents, never intended to see the light of day, that would directly link the San Diego DA's Office, and the Oceanside Police to more than ten years of previously hidden public corruption crimes.
Crimes that would more than double the number of know corrupt San Diego DA Prosecutors, and expose corruption by other public agency attorneys. CAG corruption exposure, that would force the resignation of senior AAG Gary Schons, and tie the CAG's public corruption cover up conspiracy, directly to coordinated public corruption cover up between the San Diego DA's Office, the California State Bar, and the California Judicial Commission. All with more evidence of public agency organized crime links, to the City of Oceanside, their Police Department, its City Attorney's Office, and their City Council Members.
As the year 2011 started, the CAG Offices were actively obstructing justice, at a minimum, in a dozen public corruption cases in San Diego County. Cases involving hundreds of felony crimes, and literally hundreds of Police Officers, Firefighters, DA's, Judges, CAG Attorneys, Elected Officials, the FBI, and their political and financial supporters. Law enforcement unions conspiring to commit, and cover up, election fraud, evidence tampering, civil rights violations, fraud, obstruction of justice, and other public corruption. DA and Cop crimes that financially, and politically connected to the senior Democrat elected officials, at the local, and State level, like the CAG, that were providing the protection.

The bad news for the CAG in 2011, was the Oceanside Police, and the San Diego DA's Office public corruption activities, and their cover up, was continuing, and expanding, in Civil and Criminal Court cases. Civil litigations cases that the DA's Office, the Oceanside Police, and the CAG could not bury as easily as complaints filed by citizens, in a corrupted public agency system, designed and operated, to suppress complaints and investigations.
CAG PUBLIC CORRUPTION COVER UP UNRAVELING IN 2011
In August of 2011, this reporter started an aggressive series of monthly phone and e-mail contacts, with the Sacramento, and San Diego CAG Offices. Each contact was to remind Sacramento PIU personnel of their failure to return calls, as promised, and to renew request for interviews with AG Kamala Harris, regarding public corruption cover up in the CAG.
Similar calls were made to the head of the San Diego CAG Office, SAAG Gary Schons. Each time CAG personnel requested information on the purpose of the interview. They were told it pertained to SAAG Schons two years of obstructing public corruption complaints, and investigations in San Diego County (AS LISTED ABOVE). The Sacramento CAG PIU personnel repeatedly requested, and were provided copies of the public record evidence sent to SAAG Schons, with proof of delivery, during 2009 and 2010. As the documentation piled up in the PIU, the availability of CAG Media PIU personnel to take phone calls, and discuss interview request, declined.
In early October 2011, the first of a series of very damaging hidden public record documents, was discovered by this reporter, in civil lawsuit court records. As the CAG, local DA's, and Police aggressively suppressed criminal investigations of law enforcement personnel, some of those citizen victims were able to file civil lawsuits. Subpoenas in those cases were producing documents, describing DA, Cop, and Judge criminal conspiracies. Documents that the CAG, the DA's, and others, never expected to see the light of day, much less end up in the hands of a reporter.
#1 THE CAG - SOMMER MURDER COVER UP SPRINGS A MAJOR LEAK
The first document exposed was an August 2008 San Diego DA Inter-Departmental Correspondence (SDDAIDC) letter, regarding the Court ordered new trial, for Murder suspect Cynthia Sommer. Sommer had been accused of poisoning her Marine husband Todd with arsenic.
The document was written by lead prosecutor in the case, DDA Laura Gunn, to her boss, DA Bonnie Dumanis. Both of which were deeply involved in the corrupted prosecution of Sommer, and the cover up of other court room corruption, that could have direct adverse financial, and political impacts, on both Gunn and Dumanis, and the DA's Office.
A document that stated the arsenic poisoning evidence, used to convict, and imprison Sommer, NEVER EXISTED. A document that was suppressed by the DA's Office, while Gunn, Dumanis, and the DA's Office actively conspired to manipulate the Criminal, and Civil Courts, to protect themselves from jail time, and huge civil liability. A DA criminal scheme designed to hide evidence in the Sommer case.
AS REPORTED BY GTI NEWS
The DA's corruption in the sommer case was one of the cases reported to the CAG, by this reporter, and under the protection of the CAG Offices, since August of 2010, when it was linked to other DA evidence tampering case. The document had been produced, under subpoena in a civil suit, on the DDA Marugg Sex Predator case. Another very public, 2010 DA public corruption case, which also had huge DA civil and criminal liability, and was also under the protection of the CAG Offices since early 2010.
Schons was questioned about about the CAG's cover up of the DA's conspiracy to obstruct justice in the Sommer case, the ongoing $20 million dollar lawsuit, and his knowledge of the DA's arsenic poison letter. Schons denied all knowledge of the lawsuit, and the arsenic poison document. The lawsuit had been headline news in San Diego County since it's filing in September of 2009, and this reporter had provided documentation to Schons, and the PIU offices on multiple occasions. Schons refused to discuss the SDDAIDC document, or this reporters notifications to Schons, regarding the Sommer lawsuit.
Schons became very irritated when notified of this reporters pending publication of the SDDAIDC document, and the notifications of Schons, and the CAG PIU, regarding the Sommer $20 million dollar lawsuit, against the San Diego DA's Office. Schons then threatened to sue this reporter for deformation, if his name were linked in any way, to the cover up of public corruption in the CAG Offices, and then hung up.
#2 THE 2nd BOMB SHELL DOCUMENT HITS THE CAG
Two weeks later, in early November the second very damaging, and telling document was also discovered in court files, related to the DDA Marugg Sex Predator cover up. This time it was a San Diego DA "Privileged Attorney-Client Confidential Communications" letter.
In late 2010 the San Diego DA's criminal investigation of the DDA Ernest Marugg Sex Predator Case was suddenly dismissed, and declared a personnel issue, with the immediate resignation of DDA Marugg. Multiple complaining female victims, and at least 36 witnesses, where simply left hanging, as the DA's office shut down all information on Marugg and the criminal investigation.
The case was brought under the protection of the DA's Office, and the CAG Offices. Marugg was the third San Diego DDA, to resign in less than a year, when public record evidence of felony crimes was exposed, and reported by this reporter. Public Record evidence and documentation, that the DA's Office simply was not able to bury, even though they did try.
The document was a status report from Marugg's attorney, Richard Castle, to his employers, the San Diego DDA Association. The document described a criminal conspiracy with senior DA personnel, to dismiss the DA's criminal investigation, and protect Marugg from prosecution, in exchange for his immediate resignation, and silence. The document also detailed concerns of Marugg, and the DA's Office, that the California State Bar might find out about the corruption, and the plans of the DA's Office, and the DDA Association, to hide the corruption from the State Bar, if they did contact the DA's Office.
GTI's investigation of the State Bar disclosed, the DA's office should not have been so concerned. The State Bar took one look at the Marugg conspiracy letter, and how many DA Prosecuting attorneys were involved in the conspiracy, and immediately started suppressing all the complaints they had from female victims, and protected Marugg's from investigation, and disbarment.
AS REPORTED BY GTI NEWS
Follow up phone contacts with the Sacramento PIU Office regarding the DDA Marugg document was meet with the statement, "MR. SCHONS HAS RETIRED FROM THE CAG OFFICE", and no further information is available due to "Personnel Privacy Law" restrictions. CAG staff also stated there is no available information on this reporters request for an interview with CAG Harris, regarding SAAG Schons involvement in public corruption in San Diego. The same response received from the SDDA's office over the previous twelve months, as three (1-2-3) different DDA's quickly, and quietly resigned to protect ongoing public corruption in the DA's Office. Each of which, the CAG had know about for at least a year.
The e-mail to SAAG Schons generated an automated response. The response e-mail confirmed Schons retirement effective November 15. However, it also stated that three days later, on:
"November 18, I will begin service in the San Diego District Attorney's Office as a Deputy District Attorney and Senior Advisor for Law and Policy"
Schons had a public corruption golden parachute. As multiple public record documents surface, that confirm major DA and OPD criminal conspiracies to obstruct justice, protected by SAAG Schons, and the CAG Offices, Schons suddenly resigns. Schons "resigned" from a senior level position in the CAG, to take a substantially lower position, as a DDA, in the San Diego DA's Office. The same DA's Office, that Schons had been conspiring to protect from public corruption criminal investigations for more than a year.
#3 THE 3rd BOMB SHELL - THE CAG - SGT. DAVID LARSON DUI HIGH LEVEL POLICE CONSPIRACY EXPOSED, WITH AUDIO RECORDING EVIDENCE
The November 2011 public corruption revelations, directly tied to the CAG Offices, and Schons's criminal cover ups in San Diego County, just kept coming. The twice buried, OPD Sgt. David Larson DUI conspiracy re-surfaced for the third time, with the filing of a wrongful termination lawsuit, by OPD Officer Gilbert Garcia.
The November 14, 2011 lawsuit exposed the two year old OPD, DA, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and cover up the DUI crimes of OPD Sgt. David Larson. A conspiracy to obstruct justice, that involved senior level OPD Officers, the OPD Communications Division, City Council Members, and even the City Attorney's Office. A very self serving conspiracy, for the OPD and the City Attorneys, who are deeply involved in years of suppressing other OPD corruption conspiracies. Another OPD criminal conspiracy that the CAG Offices had known about, and protected for more than a year. The CAG had repeatedly received extensive written public record complaints and documentation, via e-mail, and phone contacts, with registered deliveries on 3-2-10, and 5-6-10.
Court records stated that on August 24, 2009, senior officers of the OPD, including Chief of Police Frank McCoy, Capt. Grigsby, Sgt. Travis Norton, and other officers, were actively conspiring to shut down the criminal DUI investigation of Sgt. David Larson, and destroy all evidence of it's existence, including audio recordings of Larson's confessions. The 2009 criminal cover up was successful, as are most Police and DA conspiracies to obstruct justice, due to police total control over complaints and investigation, and the refusal of DA's to investigate the police, their DDA's are conspiring with in evidence tampering.
In early June of 2010, a North County Times reporter exposed parts of the conspiracy, with eye witness interviews. Evidence clearly showed that the OPD had conspired to obstruct justice in the Larson DUI investigation in 2009. Events well published in the local news, and reported by this reporter, with interview request, to the CAG Offices, the DA's Office, and the FBI, following the 2010 public exposure.
Chief McCoy spoke in front of the City Council. McCoy, as in 2009, repeatedly lied about the existence of the Larson investigation, and accused the witnesses, of providing false statements to the police, regarding the filing of complaints, and the involvement of Sgt. Larson. McCoy denied the existence of any audio recording, because he reportedly gave the orders in 2009 to destroy the audio recordings, and he believed they no longer existed. The conspiracy was once again successfully suppressed, with the criminal support of the City Council, the City Attorney's Office, and the CAG Offices.
When the November 14, 2011 lawsuit was filed by Garcia's Attorney Dan Gilleon, it made public the information, that Officer Garcia's field investigation recordings, with confessions from Sgt. Larson, had not been destroyed. Attorney Gilleon's press releases originally stated the audio recording would be withheld until trial. Copies of the court documents, were once again, e-mailed to the CAG Offices in San Diego, and Sacramento by this reporter, with no response.
On February 9, 2012, the Garcia law suit was amended to include "Racketeering" allegations, against Chief McCoy, the City of Oceanside, and others, based on written threats of criminal prosecution by the Oceanside City Attorneys, of Attorney Gilleon, and Officer Garcia, if they made the police conspiracy audio evidence recording public. The letter was written on November 15, the day after the OPD, and the City of Oceanside had confirmation, the felony conspiracy audio recording were not destroyed, and would be made public at the time of trial. A circumstance that would provide evidence of Police criminal corruption, that could even adversely impact city finances, and future funds for the union employees pay and benefits.
The amended Racketeering Complaint included transcripts of the audio recordings, a copy of the threatening letter, and the audio recording were released to the media. This reported forwarded copies of the documents, and web links to the audio recording, to the CAG Offices. There was no response, and phone follow ups to the CAG failed to find anyone in the PIU Office that knew about the documents, or the corruption. Request for contact with supervisors, or department heads were taken, with no returned calls, as usual.
The obstruction of justice tactics used in the City's threatening letter, was and old attorney criminal scheme. A scheme observed by this reporter in multiple public agency corruption cover up operations, from other public law enforcement agencies. A claim that evidence of felony crimes, by law enforcement personnel, is personal information, protected by public union employee privacy laws. Public information request were blocked by the usual denial of "IT IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC", to know. The truth is "IT IS NOT IN THE BEST FINANCIAL INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC UNIONS". Years of investigating the CAG, and other public agency corruption, has disclosed a constant fact. Public Agencies do not like paper trails, on agency public corruption, or its cover up, and they actively obstruct all attempts to generate one.
AS REPORTED BY GTI NEWS
On 2-6-12 this reporter contacted the new San Diego CAG Office supervisor, SAAG Julie Garland, who had replaced SAAG Schons. During a twenty minute phone conversation Garland was given details on the DA Sommer Arsenic Poisoning document, the DA "Privileged Attorney-Client Confidential Communications" in the Marugg conspiracy, and the Sgt. Larson DUI conspiracy involving high level DA's and OPD Officers. Documents that appear to have lead to the dismissal of Garlands predecessor, SAAG Schons.
Garland was also briefed on the underlying election fraud conspiracy, and evidence tampering cover ups that Schons had been protecting from investigation. Garland denied any knowledge of the documentation provided to Schons. Garland continually tried to end the conversation, and pushed this reporter to contact the PIU Office. Garland did not like the information, that the PIU had been actively suppressing media contacts for two year. Garland, eventually agreed to provide her e-mail address, so this reporter could send her copies of the above documents, and links to articles on the public corruption being discussed. The documents and links were sent as requested. There was no response from the Garland, or the CAG PIU as usual.
With no response to e-mails, and phone calls, on 2-6-12 this reporter made direct contact at the San Diego CAG Office to talk with SAAG Garland, and confirm receipt of the documents. This reporter was contacted by Office supervisor Rosaling Miller, who stated Garland was not available to this reporter. Miller did confirm that she was aware of the SAAG Schons public corruption allegations, and that Garland had received the public record documents, and web links, but all future contacts would have to go through the PIU Office.
Through out the remainder of 2012 and into 2013, all follow up phone mail messages, and e-mails to Garland, and the Sacramento PIU Office were not returned. On all future attempted phone contacts to Garlands office, she was not available to take a call. One thing was very apparent. The CAG Office did not like all of the documented contacts, and transfer of public record evidence document to the CAG, that had lead to the resignation of SAAG Schons, and the CAG was going to do everything it could to change that.
#4 THE CAG - OPD SGT. McWILSON GRAND THEFT CONSPIRACY ARREST WARRANT DOCUMENT
In August of 2013 the fourth (4) exposure of damaging public records documents, linked to corruption previously reported to the CAG, surfaced in GTI's continuing investigations. The document was a 2009 Arrest Warrant declaration, in the OPD Sgt. Walter McWilson grand theft, and embezzlement conspiracy. Another OPD conspiracy to cover up the crimes, of another OPD Police Sgt. name Walter McWilson. McWilson was protected from arrest by the OPD, and that conspiracy was covered up by the San Diego DA's Office, in conspiracy with a Superior Court Judge. A Judge that was involved in more than one OPD corruption cover up case.
AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED BY GTI NEWS
THE EMBEZZLEMENT - THE OPD CONSPIRACY - THE OPD COVER UP
The arrest warrant declaration was written by lead investigating OPD Detective Mike Brown. The document was submitted to senior DDA prosecutor Anna Winn for review, who then submitted the declaration to Superior Court Judge Runston G. Maino, to obtain an Arrest Warrant for McWilson. All three signatures are on the document.
The four page declaration, that a high school student could read and understand, described by date, and crime, an eighteen month OPD conspiracy to obstruct justice, and protect McWilson from arrest. A felony criminal conspiracy directly connected by the Judge to another OPD - DDA evidence tampering cover up conspiracy, in the Judge's court room. While other Supervising Superior Court Judges suppressed all investigations of OPD and DA evidence tampering system wide.
All of which the CAG Office had multiple complaints, and public record evidence of the crimes, to support the complaints. Documents and written notifications that continually disappeared from the CAG Offices, month after month, according to staff contacts, made by this reporter. Vanishing documents, while the CAG actively suppressed all criminal investigations, and covered up all of the public corruption that was directly linked to the election campaigns of CAG Kamala Harris, and former CAG, now Governor Jerry Brown.
CAG VERIFICATION BY AMBUSH
As the CAG, and it's staff continued to obstruct all phone and e-mail contacts regarding interviews on law enforcement public corruption cover up by the CAG, this reporter decided to take a different approach. On 10-13-14, this reporter hand carried copies of all of the above public record documents, and once again made direct contact with the San Diego CAG Office.
CAG staff were advised this reporter had documents linking the San Diego CAG Office to public corruption crimes, and this reporter wanted to talk with SAAG Garland. When access to SAAG Garland was refused, staff were advised the second in command would do just as well. The multiple request to the Staff eventually produced CAG Special Agent Supervisor Cynthia Bentley. Ms. Bentley was directly given copies of the of the DA Sommer Arsenic Poisoning Memo, the DDA Marugg conspiracy letter, the OPD City Attorney letter threatening witness in the Sgt. Larson conspiracy, and the OPD Sgt. McWilson Arrest Warrant declaration conspiracy document. Bentley was also given copies of GTI article describing the corruption associated with the documents, and web link address to all supporting court records. An extended verbal discussion on the documents, the corruption cover up, and the involvement of SAAG Schons, and the CAG Offices, was recorded on audio. An audio recording to document the CAG notifications, and receipt of documents, that had been obstructed for years by the CAG.
Bentley advised she would submit the documents to SAAG Garland, and the Sacrament PIU Office for investigation. Phone and e-mail follow ups to Bentley on 10-31-14 and 12-9-13 requesting information on the document submission and interviews, produced new statements confirming notification of SAAG Garland, and the PIU Office, however, no information on any investigation.
After seven months of no response from the CAG, on 5-9-14, another e-mail message was sent to Bentley requesting contact regarding interviews, and information on what actions the CAG was taking on the public corruption. Bentley's response was, she did not know why it was taking so long, and she would follow up with the PIU Office, and get back to this reporter.
Ten days later on 5-19-14, after numerous follow contacts, and seven months of silence from the CAG Offices and the PIU, this reporter received the usual two sentence form letter from the CAG stating:
"After a careful review of the materials you provided......our office has determined that no further action is warranted.
As in past, all future contacts with the PIU media office, requesting interviews, and information on the CAG's handling, and blanket dismissal of public corruption complaints, involving Law Enforcement Agencies, where never returned.
GTI's continuing investigations have disclosed that the California Attorney General's Office is not the only so called "Watchdog Public Agency", actively conspiring to cover up the public corruption crimes of law enforcement union personnel. During the same time period, the public corruption crimes of the DA Prosecuting Attorneys, were actively covered up by the California State Bar, and the crimes of Judges, were actively protected by the California Judicial Commission.
AS REPORTED BY GTI NEWS:
CALIFORNIA STATE BAR DIRTY ATTORNEY PROTECTION SYSTEM - PART I
CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL 7 YEAR UNION PUBLIC CORRUPTION CONSPIRACY - PART II
CALIFORNIA JUDICIAL COMMISSION JUDGE EVIDENCE TAMPERING CONSPIRACY COVER UP
The eight years of investigating public agencies has disclosed a number of public safety issues. All evidence indicates that the Law Enforcement Public Agencies, and their union employee roles in society, are not as advertised, and citizens should be very careful when dealing with these public agencies.
GTI News is investigation.
