The Third Jake: Corruption & Greed in California Politics-Exposing the San Francisco Gang Taking Californians for a Multi-Billion $$ Ride on the Transcam/Landscam Express

0/5 ( ratings)

Reminiscent of a detective novel, this political exposé explores the corruption of some of the richest and most powerful political figures in California. Mayor Willie Brown and Senator Dianne Feinstein are among the wealthy politicians involved in what some analysts call the largest case of insider trading ever uncovered, with a total volume of $25–$50 billion. The complex history of public projects that were promised and commissioned but never built are discussed, such as the Bay Bridge addition and the San Francisco Airport expansion. With direct parallels to the corruption that inspired the films Chinatown and The Two Jakes, this investigation reveals how money and relationships have played into a slick political game in recent California history.
