6. There are always multiple sides to the story!

I've given the Western USC the chance to respond with their version of events in formal response as part of investigation and to date despite two investigators being assigned, including an outside counsel, they've simply decided to stonewall.

As to the election, I've been letting the evidence speak for itself, and delayed telling my full story to allow for internal investigation and to try and respond to the chaos created by the LA Fed recordings make the point.

The Kevin De Léon - Sam Garrison conversation description is at 13:44 in the full recording:

&t=814s - you can hear how floats the idea of collaboration with Sam Garrison, and how Nury Martinez reacts with questions and then fearful response.

It's Clip 1B in the original Reddit posting with the recordings: https://www.reddit.com/user/Honest-Finding-1581/comments/xirs3o/la_county_federation_of_labor_scam/

And here's the excerpt from Ludlow to Caruso:

- Martin Ludlow gets multiple contracts with the LA fed. Remember him? He and Miguel Contreras were investigated for fraud and Contreras would have gone to jail if he didn't die first.

- The wife of Justin Wesson works as the Chief of Staff for Nury Martinez, Alexis Wesson.

- If Rick Caruso wins the Mayor's race, he will clean house at City Hall, including making sure Nury Martinez is out. That would put Wesson out of a job. So, the LA Fed is putting all it's money in Karen Bass's campaign.

I do know exactly what I observed on August 18, 2022 and then what I reported on August 26, 2022 and the circumstances under which that occurred. I think you have to consider that I'm self-identifying as a citizen-informant for the U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, that this went on for years undetected, that I know Sam Garrison fairly well, and that I have some professional experience in observing people including in relation to law enforcement as a park ranger and civil process server. It's in the hands of professionals now, all I can really do is be the person who wanted to protect my fellow employees and see justice served. To the extent that I was aware of Rick Caruso's mayoral ambitions for some time and watched all that happen, I'm not a totally impartial observer, but that doesn't mean I'm fundamentally dishonest. I mostly think it's funny that this has been so successful for 6+ months now in disrupting LA Government to cost of hundreds of thousands in extra law enforcement costs, and there's still no official explanation.
