City Attorney Carmen Trutanich "won't tip hat" on possible race for District Attorney

Downtown News Editor, "Scribe of Wit" and noted gym rat, "took an in-bound chance on scoring a scoop" today regarding City Attorney Carmen Trutanich's possible run to replace Steve Cooley as Los Angeles County District Attorney ..... and his shot, well think the  NUMBER 31 WEARING BIG SCOOP" on the free-throw line ....... and BRICK!

"I don't know," Trutanich told a Downtown meeting of the Los Angeles Current Affairs Forum this afternoon...


....... and still mulling the previous question, Nuch exposes his inner thoughts.
"I want to serve. I've not been a politician all my life," he told the crowd with a heavy contingent of Downtown business leaders. "Like every other person in this room there's a useful shelf life. I have a useful shelf life. I've taken this on after 30 years of practicing law. I want to do the best job I can do for the city and the county of Los Angeles and the people in this city."
OK Nuch, which comes first, city or county since you have this ........?
Trutanich formed an exploratory committee for the D.A.'s race in April and by July had reportedly raised more than $500,000. Sheriff Lee Baca has been among the figures urging him to get into the race. Others who have filed papers and raised funds include prosecutors Alan Jackson, Jackie Lacey (who secured Cooley's endorsement), Danette Meyers and Mario Trujillo.
Your thoughts...............

Trutanich hasn't decided? Tell that to the morons who have paid $500k to his campaign. What? If he 'decides' not to run they get a refund? Gimme a break. He's just delaying telling the truth because that's really hard for him. He decided to run for DA even as the words "I am here to do this job" were leaving his lips, but he can't take the heat for that stinker yet.

His only chance at a continued political career is to hope the LA County voters won't have heard of his monumental record of failures as City Attorney. If he backs out of the DA race, Mike Feuer will defeat him without a run off.

Of course, the upcoming hearing on the accusation that he used 'extortion' by threatening jail to obtain cash settlements in civil lawsuits might mean that his $500k gets transferred to a legal defense fund. That's assuming Shallman hasn't spent it all yet.
