The King County Sheriff’s Office is investigating whether former Mayor Jenny Durkan, ex-police chief Carmen Best and other city officials violated the law when thousands of text messages during the 2020 riots and the deadly Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) were deleted from their city-issued phones, according to Axios.
The outlet reported that the Sheriff’s Office opened the investigation on July 28 at the request of King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg. Satterberg said in a statement “The case had never been referred to us, and typically we don’t ask for an investigation to be conducted. But in recent weeks and months, I heard from people in the community that this matter was important to them and I considered it my responsibility to make this request to the Sheriff before the end of my term.”
A Sheriff’s Office spokesperson told Axios that the agency was “in the early stages of reviewing this matter” and looks “forward to sharing periodic updates as appropriate.”
The willful destruction or concealment of a public record is a felony in the state of Washington. The text messages are considered public records and are required under state law to be kept. Additionally, the texts could serve as evidence in multiple pending lawsuits against the city over its handling of the 2020 riots and the CHAZ. more here
The King County Sheriff’s Office generally is not to be fooled with. That is why the powers that be in King Country want to return to it being under direct control of the King County Council. It was the King County Police with an appointed chief until the voters said “screw that” in the mid-80’s
Nothing to see here, it was DemocRATS, move along please.

These tyrants, throughout America, have JUMPED at the chance to become a ‘RULER’ in their own jurisdiction.
They love the smell of power and the “endless” supply of income from those they rule over.
Queers are demented, hate God, and have screwed up brains, but liberals love them and keep voting for them.
Scratch a liberal and a potential or real queer emerges.
