Carol Fife does not appear on the witness list.
Seneca ScottGUEST

How come she's all wrapped up in Evolutionary Homes, and every single other person who had anything to do with Evolutionary Homes is a witness, but not Carol Fife or Rebecca Kaplan, who mentored Andre, who mentored Sheng Tao, who mentored Betsy Lake, who all three of who either are defend- are, are actual co-defendants on trial or are witnesses? Again, make it make sense.
Randy WangHOST

Seneca ScottGUEST
16:42
I keep laying out what I know without being able to subpoena anything or being privy to all of the information that the FBI has.
Seneca ScottGUEST
16:49
Remember, the judge is only allowing 500 of over 1,700 individual pieces of evidence, which I haven't seen and the public hasn't seen.
Seneca ScottGUEST
17:00
So just because I have a few sources, and I pay attention, and I have a good memory, I'm able to connect the dots between Carol Fife, and Rebecca Kaplan, and other criminals in Oakland who are still in, in power.
Seneca ScottGUEST
17:16
What I've been told from very trusted sources close to this trial, that I will reveal when it's all safe, is that they're not interested in deals anymore because they need to find Tao guilty so that the other people who they're going to prosecute in the city of Oakland, they plead out because they already have seen what happened, and they're not gonna want to go through the same process.

What I've been told from various trusted sources close to this trial that I will reveal when it's all safe, is that they're not interested in deals anymore because they need to find thou guilty so that the other people who they're going to prosecute in the city of oakland they plead out because they already have seen what happened and they're not going to want to go through the same process and so no it doesn't end here that is why right now we're taking this opportunity to start an organization the oakland watch dedicated on identifying and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in Oakland, California, and exposing the rot of corruption that still persists inside of City Hall.
