They also searched a recycle center presumably for documents that were disposed of that way

No, the connection there is the Duong family

What’s their deal? Seems like everything I’ve looked at gives like zero good info on this whole ordeal

A couple of other journalists have theorized that there might be some quid pro quo happening with the mayor and the family that owns California Waste Solutions.

There has been shady stuff happening city contracts and lawsuits around CWS. People are wondering if the recycling company might be paying off a politician in order to get preferential treatment with the city.

But who knows, the FBI has not announced charges. It’s going to be a while before we find out what is actually going on. It’s all just speculation right now.

The FBI generally doesn't raid the homes of people who have done nothing wrong. You'll have to forgive me for thinking it should still go to trial.

They raided her home, which she shares with two other people. We don't even know which of the three was the intended target.

Last Thursday, FBI agents carried boxes out of the home Thao shares with her son and partner.

People always forget the teenage son. I was all about waste management corruption when I was that age.
