SOMETIMES WHY IS IMPORTANT

By Bob Walsh

 

Sam Shane


In the afternoons I often listen to KFBK radio out of Sacramento.  Their 12-3 guy is Sam Shane.  He does a LOT of local and regional political reporting as well as some national stuff.

Last week he and his callers speculated a bit about why CA. Governor Gavin Newsom and CA. A.G. Rob Bonta decided to close down their suit against Donald Trump for cutting off $4 billion dollars that would otherwise have gone to the gold-plated money pit known as the CA High-Speed Rail Authority.  After all both Bonta and Newsom are essentially running their offices and future political aspirations on a program of WE HATE DONALD TRUMP AND WE WILL FUCK WITH HIM EVERY CHANCE WE GET.

That speculation has tended towards one item.  DISCOVERY.  The idea is that the discovery process in the lawsuit would drag the grotesque incompetence, stupidity and outright corruption that has (allegedly) characterized the project and that this would largely sink Newsom's presidential campaign and Bonta's may-gubernatorial campaign.  

Obviously I don't know that this is true.  It does, however, fit the facts and is both logical and reasonable.
