The idea that our exercise of our constitutionally protected right to free speech can be infringed, threatened, and impeded by the threat of criminal prosecution is abhorrent. <br /><br />What Trutanich did with his statement is an abuse of his position as City Attorney, and you should be seriously reconsidering your support of his candidacy. <br /><br />Of course, it is not the first time that Trutanich has threatened bloggers and reporters he does not like. Joseph Mailander aka 'Mulholland Terrace' was threatened with a defamation lawsuit by Jane Usher for calling into question Trutanich's hospitalization. Another victim of Trutanich's intimidation of the media was KABC reporter Michael Linder - why don't you ask him what happened when Trutanich did not approve of his comments?<br /><br />The fact is that Trutanich is faced with the very real prospect of being the first incumbent City Attorney to fail to be reelected. As an incumbent, he should be way ahead of Mike Feuer in the polls, but his past behavior, his willingness to use false claims and threats to win at all costs in untenable in a City Attorney, and unacceptable in a civilized society.<br /><br />So yes, the Times re-affirmed their endorsement, and Trutanich is tanking in the polls, both for very good reason. You may not like Mike Feuer, but he is not a liar and he is not a bully.<br /><br />Los Angeles needs a City Attorney who is a leader not a liar, and a thinker not a thug.<br />Rumpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17912048680186357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-58530285641481250262013-04-20T09:28:25.473-07:002013-04-20T09:28:25.473-07:00Hey Genius,
