Oakland (Special to ZennieReport.com) – The FBI Department of Justice Subpoena sent to Oakland City Attorney Barbara Parker was leaked to mainstream media. However, none of the organizations that got the document bothered to actually digitize it, electing to leave it in what is called “PDF”, or “Portable Document Format” form.

What The Department Of Justice Is Looking For Based On The Information Requested
From the paragraphs presented it’s clear that the Department of Justice is looking for ties between any campaign related donations that may have been provided by California Waste Solutions and The Family of David Duong, the actions of now Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, who was then Oakland District Four Councilmember and Oakland Mayoral Candidate starting in the January 1, 2022 time mark, and her partner Andre Jones. From the looks of the information request time period, it would cover a large number of news episodes Zennie62Media websites and Zennie62 YouTube Channel have covered, at times exclusively. Let’s break the major ones down.
- Oakland Councilmember Chang Thao Accused of Violating Campaign Law In Treatment Of LeAna Powell. If you recall, former Thao City Council Aide LeAna Powell was terminated by Thao Chief of Staff Renia Webb because Powell did not want to be forced to work for Thao’s Mayoral Campaign and at her City Council Office, even though Webb and Brandon Harami were forcing her to reconsider her decision. She said no, so they let her go, and that’s illegal. She brought her story to the Oakland Public Ethics Commission and to Zennie62Media. That long and explosive video is below:
2. Oakland And Bay Area Lawyer Marleen Sachs Accuses Mayor Thao And City of Oakland Of Illegally Changing Thao’s Time Stamp For Her Mayoral Election Filing Documents
This story is based on the claims of a number of Oakland Mayoral Election Campaigners, most notably Seneca Scott and Derrick Soo, that the Oakland City Clerk’s Office allowed Councilmember Thao to file her election documents, even though she and her partner Andre Jones, were late arriving to the office before the 5 PM PST deadline on Friday, August 12th.
The upset Oakland Mayoral Election Campaigners, which included Allysa Victory and Peter Liu, threatened legal action because their names were not added to the November 2022 Ballot because they were told via a City of Oakland document that the final day of filing was actually August 17th, and because the incumbent Mayor Libby Schaaf was not running for re-election. Of them, Allysa Victory did file a lawsuit, and so the Oakland City Attorney, Barbara Parker, agreed to add her name to the November 2022 Ballot. Here are a number of videos related to that Zennie62Media news episode:
Sheng Thao Oakland Mayoral Candidate Fishy Funding in 2022 Oakland Mayoral Race – Livestream
Zennie62Media believes this video is key. It’s based on a contact, Charlie Pine, who pointed out, in detail, the wild locations of a number of Sheng Thao for Mayor donors, as well as their surnames:

This video contains an interview with the Oakland Lawyer who filed the complaint regarding the time stamp.
Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao Wins Oakland Mayoral Election By 677 Votes For Loren Taylor, But Questions Remain
The outcome of the vote, based on Rank Choice Voting, was questioned by many. Alameda County Registrar of Voters Tim DuPuis gave a very-long “Ted Talk”-style interview to Zennie62 YouTube, but that led to even more questions. Watch.
Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao Breaks Ballpark Talks With Oakland A’s
If you remember, the Oakland A’s leaders Owner John Fisher and President Dave Kaval decided to announce to Las Vegas media that they were moving to relocate from Oakland, and in the middle of talks with the A’s. In return, Mayor Thao said that talks were broken off. But what really happened and was “pay to play” involved? That possibility was something this blogger privately investigated, but the results were zero to date.
