Jose Huizar, LA City Councilman
"Heigh ho, heigh ho,
It's off to jail I go"
Ever since 2018 when the FBI raided his home and office, we've been wondering when LA City Councilman Jose Huizar would fall. Today, it has been announced that Huizar, a Democrat, has been indicted in what is described as a massive bribery operation.

“Councilman Huizar violated the public trust to a staggering degree, allegedly soliciting and accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from multiple sources over many years. Using the power of his office to approve or stall large building projects, Huizar worked through a web of other corrupt city officials, lobbyists, consultants and developers to line his pockets.”
-US Attorney Nick Hanna
