I'm guessing kiddie porn on the computer systems, or someone getting bribes or kickbacks aka. more Chinese fuckery.

“On the 8th Floor of City Hall East, two men walked out of the City Attorney’s office and headed for the elevators. Asked if they were with the FBI, one of the two answered: ‘Yeah.’”

Sounds like they sent the B squad in for this one!

The blond FBI guy at R2 is hot.

R4, Who's the B Squad? I don't understand your reference.

R3, Yes I immediately thought of Chinatown and a miles long overdue investigation.

The search comes during an FBI investigation into L.A. City Hall. Federal investigators have cast a wide net for information about foreign investment in the city’s real estate developments, according to a search warrant that names an array of political and business figures.

Among those named were Councilmen Jose Huizar and Curren Price, the former head of the Department of Building and Safety and high-level appointees of Mayor Eric Garcetti and Council President Herb Wesson. The warrant also named executives of Chinese firms bankrolling new residential and hotel towers on Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles.

The warrant does not say the FBI has gathered evidence of criminal activity by any of the people or companies named in the document. No one has been arrested or charged in the investigation.

Possibly an extension of the pay to play scheme that has ensnared developers, Councilman Huizar and others in City government.

Yeah, r3, I was going to say Chinatown!

R7 the B squad, as in the FBI agents who don’t know not to answer press questions about whether they’re with the FBI
