      BREAKING: After #StephonClark was murdered by Sacramento Police, it was discovered that DA Anne Marie Schubert took $13,000 from police. After our investigation, we found that she has actually taken an astounding $420,000 from law enforcement.

      I study DA's for a living. I don't know that I have ever seen a District Attorney get more money from police & law enforcements sources in a shorter period of time - while more people are being brutalized & killed by those police than what I see right now in Sacramento. THREAD

      1. Sacramento DA Anne Marie Schubert is a conservative Republican - surrounded, empowered, and protected by a county of Democrats that Trump lost by 20 points. She does their bidding. They support her. She takes all of the heat. But her funding - it all comes from the police.

      2. As I type this, Sacramento DA Anne Marie Schubert, in the wake of the shooting of Stephon Clark, has literally built a chain link fence around the District Attorneys office. It's a metaphor. It's disturbing. But the money trail behind it all is so much worse.pic.twitter.com/Q2BDbFphno

      3. From all of the publicly available data, records online, and paper documents we could acquire, we have found almost $500,000 given to Anne Marie Schubert and her campaign by law enforcement sources. It's a greater percentage of funding than I could find for any other DA.

      4. While 20 different families that I have identified have begged Sacramento DA Anne Marie Schubert to investigate the police that murdered and maimed their loved ones, little did they know that she was regularly wooing those police & collecting enormous campaign cash from them.

      5. In 2013, as she announced she was running to become District Attorney, the first large donation Anne Marie Schubert received was $10,000 from the Sacramento County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association PAC. This is important. She would soon be called on to investigate them. REFUSED.

      6. DA Schubert received $500 from the LAPD PAC. Then, in October 2013, she got $2,500 from the Peace Officers Research Association of California, headquartered in Sacramento. In December 2013, she took in $5,000 from the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association PAC.

          13. What we found next is one of the most disturbing findings in our investigation into who was funding Sacramento DA Anne Marie Schubert. In 2014, she got the 1st of many HUGE loans, this one for $100,000 from a man named Michael Tsuchida. Guess what? He's a retired cop.

          14. In May 2015, Sacramento DA Anne Marie Schubert received $500 from the Peace Officers Research Association of California PAC. It's what happened next that is particularly disturbing and rather unprecedented for a DA - particularly one supported by Democrats in California.

          15. Despite still not being in a campaign, DA Schubert received yet another $25,000 from the Sacramento County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association in October 2016. This came in the wake of so many horrible incidents of police violence. What she did with the money is very problematic.

          16. Schubert gave $2,500 to No on Prop 62/Yes on Prop 66, the campaign to save the death penalty in California and speed up the death row appeals process. In doing so, Schubert stood in opposition to the consensus of editorial boards across California. What's next is even worse.

          17. On Prop 57, Schubert did something out of step w/ voters. She spent $9,223.46 on printing and processing, and $13,970.94 on postage, for a statewide mailer asking voters to oppose Prop 57 — the most popular criminal justice reform initiative ever put before California voters.

          I need to pause right here for a moment. This money that Sacramento DA Anne Marie Schubert is taking - hundreds of thousands of dollars - comes straight from the paychecks of police officers. These are their union dues. Of course they give them to her for a reason.

          What I'm about to say is so beyond the pale, so outrageous, that I had to consult several campaign finance experts to verify that I was seeing what I actually thought I was seeing. It's as unethical as anything I've ever seen from a District Attorney.
