“In October 2006, members of the California Department of Justice confiscated computers in the Garden Grove Campaign office of Tan D. Nguyen. Congressional candidate Nguyen was suspected of sending a threatening letter to Latino voters.” per OCR.

- The female CA DOJ Special Agent who is pictured above processing evidence is my best friend’s wife.
- My best friend is also a CA DOJ Special Agent who together with another CA DOJ Special Agent and a CHP Officer (also a good friend of ours) arrested Scott Peterson down in San Diego. (Scott Peterson murdered his wife Lacy Rocha Peterson). My friends also testified at the trial of Scott Peterson.
I see the odd and long hours that my law enforcement buddies work, specially when they are working special cases or when they are involved with counter-terrorism task forces, or in special personal protective details, and I have a deep admiration for their work.
I am glad to know that the lying about this dirty tactics letter and its contents resulted in an indictment and prison time.
Separately, we must always ensure a fair election free of unfair political practices as we have seen recently – such what I and many others consider recent unfair and unethical involvement by SAPD Chief Paul Walters.
- Very Likely Violation of CA Fair Political Practices Commission; California Political Reform Act of 2006; The 2009 California Government Code; CA Police Chief’s Association “Code of Ethics”; and City’s Code of Conduct / Conflict of Interest policy;
- This is also a breach of the Highest Ethical and Professional Standards.

And this was not the worst of it, Paco. Try THIS on for egregious offensiveness:
Congratulations to the Liberal OC; this scandal is practically what gave birth to the blog. Too bad they turned into such jerks.
I wonder if he would get arrested if he simply reprinted applicable statutory language which is essentially the same thing he printed.
I believe that in the left fascistic republic of Commifornia he would.

wow, prison for that? when does that Hermandad guy get put away? can’t think of his name but you know, the voter fraud guy and embezzler, school board guy, racist hater guy. can’t think of his name
Nativo.
@DeadWhiteMale:
Per the article, “But since he misled investigators from the California Attorney’s General’s Office in October 2006, Nguyen said he’s “lived with a dark cloud over my head and with a deep sense of guilt.””.
Misleading or lying to obstruct an official investigation is a crime in itself. The other deeper crime was that Tan Nguyen tried to throw his friends and staff under the bus by blaming them for his actions.
And you still wonder, “wow, prison for that?”
That statement is in pretty stark contrast to his smartass attitude when he was running again for Congress last summer (and got creamed in the June primary by Van Tran.) Sounds like a sociopath to me, feigning shame and guilt to get a lighter sentence.
Sounds like yet another dirty trick that was born in OC, follwing the pattern of people like Nixon, Pringle and Baugh. Sometimes it is embarrasing to tell people elsewhere that you are from OC due to our fairly well known pattern of political corruption (including Carona, etc.) Wonder who is next —-
