LA County Sheriff Threatens Investigative Journalist With Lawfare Over X Post

Red State:

Los Angeles-based independent investigative journalist Cece Woods has been a thorn in the side of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department since at least 2018, when she exposed a law enforcement cover-up of a string of murders in and around Malibu Creek State Park. Since then she’s also reported on corruption in LA County government, and her reporting on Biden FAA Administrator nominee Phil Washington’s corruption when he was head of LA Metro was key to that nomination’s failure.

Clearly, even if you’ve never heard her name, she’s a force to be reckoned with – and current LA County Sheriff Robert Luna is going to extreme lengths, including threatened lawfare, to attempt to silence her.

Luna was elected in 2022 after a contentious election in which members of the LA County Board of Supervisors and then-District Attorney George Gascon collaborated to push him over the finish line because they didn’t like that the incumbent, Alex Villanueva, was pursuing public corruption cases. He’s therefore up for re-election in 2026.  more here

  1. Every member of the LA County Board of Supervisors is a card carrying communist. I’m serious. And they ousted Villanueva because he was onto a bunch of corruption that the Board of Supervisors were neck deep in and hired “their” guy. Now that Gascon is gone things could get interesting.

  2. Poor attempt at a “scary lawyer letter”. They’re a dime a dozen. Woods is doing the right thing by holding it up to ridicule. Luna is a pissant.

    He’s likely a pissant with Parkinson’s.
