      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.

      18. Designed to speed up parole for nonviolent offenders and to overhaul policies on juveniles in the justice system, voters approved the measure 64 percent to 36 percent, by a margin of nearly 4 million votes. Schubert fought against it tooth and nail - & with money from police.

      19. In March 2017, Schubert received $1,500 from the Sacramento Police Officers Association; then another $1,500 from the Sacramento County Probation Association PAC; $3,000 from the Sacramento County Law Enforcement Managers Association.

      20. $500 more from the Peace Officers Research Association came in. Then came $3,000 from the Sacramento County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association, which has been the most reliable donor to Schubert’s campaigns — her next large donation from the group was $5,000 in September.

      21. The next month, Schubert received another $2,500 from the Sacramento County Law Enforcement Managers Association, then $5,000 from the Sacramento Police Officers Association, and yet another $5,000 from the California Association of Highway Patrolmen PAC.

      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.

          24. Last year, as her campaign for DA got back up and running, I found something very disturbing, yet again from Sacramento DA Anne Marie Schubert. She took two more $50,000 loans from Michael Tsuchida - the retired Sacramento cop. I've never seen that in my life.

          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.

          25. In April's campaign finance filing, Sacramento County DA Anne Marie Schubert revealed that she is getting an in-kind donation from the Sacramento Sheriff. Guess what it's for? RENT, ELECTRICITY, and INTERNET. They appear to be providing FREE OFFICE SPACE for her campaignpic.twitter.com/nZ2N4VB9cg

          26. It gets CRIMINAL. The State Auditor of California sent a memo to Sacramento DA Anne Marie Schubert recommending that she file criminal charges against the Sacramento Sheriff Scott Jones. http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article193668199.html … Schubert, receiving cash & office space from him, declined.

          END OF THREAD. For my full report, go to https://theintercept.com/2018/04/25/stephon-clark-police-shooting-district-attorney/ … I've never seen anything like it. Sacramento County DA Anne Marie Schubert is bankrolled by law enforcement. Nearly half a million dollars. No wonder she refuses to ever hold them accountable for ANYTHING.

          Are skywriters going to have to be crowdfunded to spell out to people that bribery and greasiness are afoot?

          Pretty sure that's not how it works. Union dues can't go to political campaigns. It's a separate deduction you have to sign up for. At least it is for AFSCME.
