[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This investigation should help Newsom if/when he runs for president.[/quote]

Nah. He is pretty sketchy. Most Democrats in CA don't like him and hope he doesn't run for President because he will get crushed. We want a Democrat who will be successful. He is not the right choice.

He has never in his life really worked a real salaried job. Everything he has is from connections.  He put down between $5,000-$10,000 to invest in creating Plump Jack Winery that the Getty's poured money into and it is now worth $400 million dollars. Hmm.

There has been an intermingling of political elites in CA for generations of Pelosi, Newsome, Brown, Getty.

This independent and nonpartisan news organization Cal Matters has multiple article mapping it all out. Including: https://calmatters.org/commentary/2019/01/gavin-newsoms-keeping-it-all-in-the-family/

Some of the article explains:
[i]Newsom is succeeding someone who could be considered his quasi-uncle, since his inauguration continues the decades-long saga of four San Francisco families intertwined by blood, by marriage, by money, by culture and, of course, by politics – the Browns, the Newsoms, the Pelosis and the Gettys.

The connections date back at least 80 years, to when Jerry Brown’s father, Pat Brown, ran for San Francisco district attorney, losing in 1939 but winning in 1943, with the help of his close friend and Gavin Newsom’s grandfather, businessman William Newsom...

Brown-Newsom connection continued as Brown’s son, Jerry, reclaimed the governorship in 1974. He appointed the younger William Newsom, a personal friend and Gavin’s father, to a Placer County judgeship in 1975 and three years later to the state Court of Appeal...

Justice Newsom had been an attorney for oil magnate J. Paul Getty, most famously delivering $3 million to Italian kidnappers of Getty’s grandson in 1973. While serving on the appellate bench in the 1980s, he helped Getty’s son, Gordon, secure a change in state trust law that allowed him to claim his share of a multi-heir trust.

After Newsom retired from the bench in 1995, he became administrator of Gordon Getty’s own trust, telling one interviewer, “I make my living working for Gordon Getty.” The trust provided seed money for the PlumpJack chain of restaurants and wine shops that Newson’s son, Gavin, and Gordon Getty’s son, Billy, developed, the first being in a Squaw Valley hotel.

Gavin Newsom had been informally adopted by the Gettys after his parents divorced, returning a similar favor that the Newsom family had done for a young Gordon Getty many years earlier. Newsom’s PlumpJack business (named for an opera that Gordon Getty wrote) led to a career in San Francisco politics, a stint as mayor, the lieutenant governorship and now to the governorship, succeeding his father’s old friend[/i].[/quote]

So? Now do Trump.[/quote]
