LA Mayor Bass: DEI is ending, the FBI is axing woke and Pam Bondi is talking about "vigorously prosecuting criminals"

Editor's note: Alright, if the respective states follow Musk's lead with the bold DOGE-like initiatives then start with California first where the mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass presides over allegations of embezzlement, perjury, racketeering, tax evasion and bribes. Then when Pam Bondi is confirmed to head the DoJ as the next US AG, California should be made an example when Bondi talks about "keeping Americans safe and vigorously prosecuting criminals." Vigorously go after and prosecute the criminals inside the offices of Karen Bass in Los Angles after the FBI is reformed.

LA Mayor Karen Bass' office hit with scandals over hush money, bribes and accusations of 'legalized corruption'

By Isabel Vincent | January 18, 2025

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass got into office promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and promising to tackle homelessness and pollution — but she never promised to drain the swamp.

Now she stands accused of adding to it, through "legalized corruption" and a number of eye opening scandals which have come to light after renewed scrutiny in the last two weeks following the revelation Bass and her cronies defunded the Los Angeles Fire Department by $17 million, contributing to them being underprepared to tackle the wildfires currently destroying the city.

These include:

• The deputy mayor raided by the FBI over an alleged bomb threat against City Hall.

• Endorsing a former councilor investigated over hush money payments for congress.

• Awarding fat cat salaries of 750k to a pal, double the predecessor's salary.

• Council members accused of embezzlement, perjury, racketeering, tax evasion and bribes.

"Corruption is ingrained in Los Angeles," said Jamie Court, president of Consumer Watchdog, a non-profit public interest group.

"It's the story of 'Chinatown', and it likely led to the intensity of the fires."

The 1974 Hollywood film, which stars Jack Nicholson as a crusading private detective, chronicles the corruption in LA's public utility company that controls water flowing to the city.

Today that same company — the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power — is a sprawling bureaucracy in need of serious reform, but has remained largely unchecked by politicians as it brings in billions from ratepayers to city government, Court told The Post.

"It's a sacred cow and a slush fund for the city, with a serious lack of accountability,” he said.
