.Jerry Brown Sweeps Scandal Under the Rug

State Attorney General Jerry Brown has closed an investigation into the illegal taping of journalists’ phone calls by his now former spokesman, according to the Los Angeles Times. Brown office’s investigation concluded that ex-spokesman Scott Gerber taped at least six phone calls by reporters after being told by attorneys in the office not to do it. Brown maintains that Gerber even taped Brown’s conversations with reporters without his knowledge – although that’s a bit hard to believe.
