Janice Hahn, congressional candidate in the special election to replace Democrat Jane Harmon in California's 36th District, is under fire for new charges that she used her position as a city councilwoman to funnel money to gang members and criminals in an effort to "keep the peace" between warring gangs in her Los Angeles district.Here's the report:
Oh, but there's even more. Hahn responded by sending a 'cease and desist' letter to the above local affiliate to try and kill the messenger. Bad move. Via Instapundit:
POLITICAL CENSORSHIP: “It’s one thing when someone decides that they are going to intimidate a blogger with a cease and desist order, it’s totally another for a congressional candidate in CA-36 to actually send such an order to a TV station over a story they did on her years ago.” Janice Hahn doesn’t seem to understand things very well.Plus this:
CA-36: Yes, Janice Hahn blew it. “When Janice Hahn’s lawyers sent a cease-and-desist letter to KTTV Fox 11 — trying to stop the Los Angeles station from following up on its 2008 investigation of Hahn’s controversial ‘gang intervention’ progam — they probably didn’t expect this. ‘Large mistake, madame,’ says the award-winning Ace of Spades. Because KTTV and Chris Blatchford not only stood by their original coverage, they followed up with an in-depth eight-minute report that devastates Hahn’s credibility.”The only remaining question is if the voters of CA-36 are dumb enough to vote this political maniac into office. I mean, they did vote back Moonbeam to the governorship and Boxer into the Senate.
