So, who is the target? Her neighbor? But search her house instead?
Baloney
Yup! Good point.
Maybe it was her dog was the 🎯
mistaken identity in ID theft
Her boyfriend
Yet........
Then why were the feds searching HER house?!?! Bunch of bs!
FBI was just assisting her in destroying evidence.
Asians cannot be allowed to hold office in US
The lawyer never stated that they told him that she was not the target. The lawyer said that he have no information that "She the target". Well.. I wonder what did he hear or see?
@@shyodu2technically she may not be the main target but just an accessory. The Duong family is the target. Still not good.
Literally explains it if you watch the video.
If Sheng Sheng isn’t the target than she’s singing to the feds right now.
100 percent right.
Is she singing about Fang Fang then? LOL! I keep reading in the comments, that she might be a spy...
I wonder who is she snitching out?
@@gerrylee1687 The Dongs.
The FBI has nothing to do so they decided to have some coffee at the Tao’s. 😂 Tao should fire this guy now.
The FBI IRS the post office they're not going to show up at somebody's house if they don't have something on them
Useless people in power.
So the same as Breed, Bass, Johnson, Adams, Brandon Scott and Michelle Wu ?
Dirty politic at its best in oakland
It is a Democrat FBI investigation and not Oakland politics.
Democrats
@@mrbaab5932 Even less trustworthy.
If she wasn't a target then why were the Feds there in the first place.
If she's not the target, why hire a lawyer? Why isn't SHE speaking instead?
It makes sense to hire a lawyer when the issue is LAW.
is you really that dumb?
Because you let your lawyer take care of this don't you know that
Because she's innocent
@@VientianeSabaidee The investigation hasn't completed, and the results haven't been announced, so no one yet knows whether she is innocent or guilty.
Suggest you learn to rely on known facts in place of wishful thinking.
She is the target but they don't want her to know that because they go after all the small fish 🐠 and get them to turn on the big fish the mayor😅
So the house was the target of the search warrant? Nice spin by a high dollar lawyer.
that lawyer said she was probably guilty in another vid 🤣
That’s a LIE !!!!!!!!!! She is the target…
Lawyer: "I have no information that she's the target right now." That means the FBI have yet to review the evidence gathered from her home now but will be later.
Typical lawyer doubletalk.
Suuuuure. If they needed something in her home why didn't they just ask for it and Thao give it to them?? No instead they got a Federal Search warrant.
Bs
Really? The FBI went to the wrong house? Maybe they were looking for a different Mayor Sheng Tao LOL
Search warrants like this are usually for the address and will specify where they are allowed to actually search, it’s unusual to have a name unless they are going to arrest someone this is for evidence to get an arrest warrant. The lie is obvious when her ATTORNEY is answering questions for her, duh.
She's a target. Don't be stupid.
What bothered me is that 15 citizens of Oakland got shot and she just hid in her home. She should’ve been standing by those families promising to capture the shooters. She’s so useless.
Looks like a mob lawyer 😂
That must be why they raided her home…
More gaslighting 😂
Ah, someone fall on their sword for her?
Not a target? That is what they said about Trump.....
No, they said they wouldn't target anyone unless it was trump.
@@dirkdiggler9056pretty sure their heads are so far up their own asses that they said both!😂😂😂
You guys still defending the convicted fr@udster and r@p ist? How pathetic…
“My client is not the target”. Seems logical coming from her lawyer. Thats what I’d want my lawyer to say too😂.
Yeah. Totally believable.
Lawyers have one job. To deflect and protect their client. Period. So they’ll say anything.
Sure she isn't
"I have no information." Means you don't know yourself.
Tell me anything 🙄 All I am going to say is you don’t need a lawyer when you’re not the target and she would’ve been at the press conference to address the public for the mass shooting on Juneteenth. The attorney is a bold face liar.
I call bullshit
Yeah and neither is Diddy.
Unbelievable
I’m starting to smell the shyte!
Her lawyer doesn't yet know whether she's a target -- it's too early in the investigation for the Feds to say one way or the other.
She needs to just give up and resign. She’s going to be recalled regardless.
The Mayor is in cahoots with the rich donors who own the waste company. How much you want to best the waste management company is probably getting govt contracts or some type of kickback is being given to the Mayor. She seemed hella sketchy to begin with.
Did we forget there was a mass shooting at the Lake and the Mayor has yet to comment or make an appearance since then? It's ridiculous.
That's political incompetence, not a crime.
@@Thomas23-tu8gjWho said her disappearance is a crime? If I don't show up to my job and hire a lawyer instead, I would get fired. She needs to resign. She doesn't know how to lead this city. It's in free fall.
@@sappysuds4545 That's too bad. Oh well.
Everything woke turns to chit.
Next thing you know her lawyer will be telling us she's not guilty
question for attorney. Would he said he was not told that mayor was the target. Was he told anything, if not then he can say he wasn't told anything. That the mayor isn't from outer space, that the mayor isn't a fish, that the mayor isn't anything. Attorney's can always talk out of both sides of their mouth, and say what they want to say and want you to believe.
The fact that she has remained deafeningly quiet, is talking only through a lawyer days after the search, is not consistent with her narrative that “there’s nothing to see here.”
Unfortunate search warrant? Yeah right!
Corruption on Oakland? The hell you say!
one thing no one can deny is that Oakland has definitely given diversity a chance. An Asian mayor, a black police chief and a middle eastern reporter telling this story on camera. I don't live in Oakland but I'm impressed.
Why is she hiding and retaining an attorney? It’s like where’s Waldo? Of course he’s going to say she’s innocent
This same lawyer is not defending her anymore. Wonder why? Hahaha
What a bs headline! They went to her house! There's NO WAY it isn't about her!
Wow!
Why are people always falling for the same thing over and over And over an out?????
Politically, she is toast. Might as well resign now so that the city can spend the next year or more electing a new mayor.
Ya right, that happens to honest citizens on a daily basis.
Tony says "I have no information she is a target ...." - of course, the FBI won't tell you Thao is a target until the May is indicted
It took them two day to come up with that excuse?
slopes? nopes.
Hurt reputation?? Its oakland, cant hurt it anymore than it already is.
This lady hangs out in chicago and boston with the other mayors.
Lawyers are great at making statements to divert the attention to elsewhere. As of right now, this whole case is still in the early phase of investigation and therefore still inconclusive. Let the evidence do its job and go from there. We need to pray for our state elected officials that no one is above the law including people who represent their constituents.
They are saying that she is not the target yet. They want to catch all the smaller ones first before they run and hide like she did 🏃
Presumed....
Why would you hire the lawyer
He says she is still performing mayoral duties too. lol I would not believe him
Oh....so they raided her house to prevent an investigation. Not to actually investigate. Got it 😂😂😂😂
Pay for play corruption. Her own staff ratted her out to the FBI.
not a target but they raid her house? whats wrong with that picture
Follow the money trail and see how deep she is into the Doung family business.
Yeah right
RICO charges are like California water. Recycled.
How odd that this is happening just before her recall in November? She'll be lucky to serve out her term.
Tax dollars are wasting indeed
Wow
At this point I trust no element of gov't, Red, Blue, Green, or Chartreuse, from the top to the local poop plant.
Me either. Snakes everywhere.
If she's got nothing to hide, then why is she hiding?
that's what they want you to believe
This is laughable. Clearly she is the target and this lawyer is just being deceptive like defense lawyers are trained to do.
For funding both parties...?
Obviously they needed to grab something….to connect her to something….i would think she is then connected…to the target…like someone gave her gold bars…or a Benz…
The hired attorney looks equally corrupt and sleazy.
Is wasn't the target or not she was involved. The FBI would have asked for the documents and not raided her home if she wasn't involved. She should resign!
In other words, this was just evidence collecting cuz the Feds had a hunch Thao would not hand it over, she ain’t a target says her lawyer cuz nobody has said a word to him😜
Victim of swatter.
Damage already was done. If I was her, I would just resign, and pursue a lawsuit if she is really innocent. A family in NY was swatted because someone called and claim that family was dealing drugs. The Husband was shot during the raid and killed along with the family dog just to find out they were raiding the wrong house, leaving the wife and their toddler. Agents just got slap on the wrist. 🤬🤬
Make no mistake. When the FBI shows up in the cover of darkness with a search warrant, you are unequivocally a target.
Oh, sure. Because Commiefornia really doesn't have any corruption problem. 🤣
Really!!!....She is not the target.....🤔🤨.....I'll wait till more is known 😒
🤣🤣🤣🤣right, because searching all four of her homes and gathering evidence was an accident.
who said she's the target? she's just an associate connected to the target
How do you know?
You just never know what is true and what is false.
360p video resolution? this news was shot by nokia
Im suprised they havent tried to sweep this under the rug harder.
Girl! Baby Girl!
let's see what they find . just bc someone fits the bill of diversity and inclusion, don't elect someone for that reason.....
Goofy goofy bullshit and half of America will buy every bit of it and swallow it down😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe the overseers for the Democratic Party did this!
DONT BELIEVE YOUR LYING EYES
The target of FBI, IRS, and USPS raid must be her cat.
So who's the target?Trump?
Tony Brass is a shady guy.
The other channel said it was nefarious campaign finances Who's lying?
love this recall, will promote Sheng Thao to be best she can be, thanks for Crazy Oakland racism.....
Ingnore the obvious and believe everything we say- msm
Yeah, she is probably corrupt af!
