Telemarketer says Mark Muir was behind dirty tricks robocalls

Wow! This should be the nail in the coffin of the Muirs' political careers.

If you do shady business with dirtbags, they just might rat you out to save themselves.

Voice of San Diego:
A San Diego man who’s facing a nearly $10 million fine for spoofing political robocalls defended himself Friday by identifying some of the people who he says hired him.

Kenneth Moser, a local marketing professional, told the Federal Communications Commission that he was working with relatives of Maureen Muir to help her bid for the 76th Assembly District race in 2018 against a fellow Republican, Phil Graham.

Two weeks before the primary, a woman accused Graham of battery. Despite the fact Graham was cleared of wrongdoing, Moser amplified the allegation by referencing it in a voice message to thousands of potential voters and by disguising the true source of the calls.

[...]

In the exhibits, Moser attached a short email in which Mark Muir wrote: “Under $800 … To Republicans.” The former elected official couldn’t be reached for comment.

Moser said his client wanted to remain anonymous, so they tried to take advantage of a loophole — as far as they saw it — in state law that doesn’t require the disclosure of independent expenditures under $1,000.
Moser has a long and sordid history in San Diego politics, and is known in Encinitas for profiting off of lawsuits over campaign filing errors.

Maureen Muir lost the Assembly election, but is still on the SDUHSD school board.

  1. Typical republican. Can’t win a fair race so they cheat, lie, and stand for nothing but to keep the government tit In their own mouth. The Dems are not much better but at least can offer solutions.

    2. I have yet to see Thunder go full trumptard but even if she did, would be better than what we have now.

    3. full trumptard and full blakespear are two sides of the same coin.

      she kicks aside anyone who disagrees with her and pretends things are what they're not. many accidents later her deathtrap cardiff bike lanes are "an improvement." you don't get more trumptard than that. the scary thing is she believes her own fantasies.

    4. Yep, the many lies of the thunder crowd. Don't just take their word, do a little research don't assume they're in any way truthful. Shameful

  4. Guerrilla CLASSIC this week:

    Encinitas Mayor and Acolyte Choose Which Laws to Obey

    FPPC — pffft! Who cares? Certainly not Kellie and me. If the FPPC drops a fine on us, our rich friends will pay it, and we will have accomplished our purpose anyway. That’s to get elected so we can continue to ruin Encinitas. We can’t win on our merits or records, so we cheat.

    I’m in it for me, my family and my friends. They said, hey, you’re the perfect politician. You look OK, you come across well in public, you grin and sound real even when you’re lying through your teeth. People will believe you, not realizing that you’re totally disingenuous.

    Guess what. The people who told me I’m a perfect politician were right! They nailed it long before I did myself. They said, OK, get your feet wet on one of the commissions, then start up the ladder. You’ll be mayor in no time, and if you can keep the phony front up, you’ll be reelected as many times as you want. Just think of what you can gain for yourself, your family and your friends. What a legacy!

    Prop A — it might as well be renamed Prop ZZZZZ. Sure, I know it was a ballot proposition that passed in a special election. Sure, I know it was incorporated within the municipal code, but I don’t like it. It goes against my interests. I chose to ignore it, undermine it and will eventually kill it altogether.

    Lots of locals are angry that my cronies and I got the city to sue them over Prop A. Too bad, losers. I’m playing hardball even though Encinitas is in the bush leagues as cities go.

    And, hey, if I can get free Surfing Madonna entries for me, my family and my buddy Scott, why not? If Encinitas merchants — grocers, bars, restaurants, whatever — want to comp me, my family and my friends, I’ll go for that, too. Why the hell not? I’m the mayor!

    Surfing Madonna crossed me, so they’re gone. Let that be a lesson to anybody who doesn’t follow my dictates.

    Measures T and U — total straw-man measures. I knew the voters would kill them, but the measures were a means to an end. The judge put Prop A aside, the state lit the green light, and we got the HEU that allows humongous developments that my family, my cronies, the BIA and I want.

    You do realize that “Preserve Paradise” was just a manipulative slogan, don’t you?

    I trot out the “my hands are tied” line when it’s expedient. I choose which laws to follow and which to ignore. That’s my privilege!

  5. Republican or Democrat, if you violate the law you need to be held accountable in the courts and at the ballot box.

    2. Dennis,
      Last time I checked the only pols prosecuted for crimes are those with R next to their name,

      Now, both parties are corrupt and need to be euthanized to be sure.

      Justice for thee but not for me is every D's slogan

  7. Mo Muir should step down from school board if this is proven in court, not a good look for Thunder either since she and Mark are lock step with their local mag/newsletter. Blakespear is full of scandal too and I don't trust her at all. Can't wait to hold my nose in November and try and decide who will do the least damage to Encinitas.

    1. Thunder had nothing to do with Muir scandal. On the other hand Blakespear created scandal after scandal for herself. And continues to do so.

      No nose holding here, the choice is obvious. Already getting a disaster with Blakespear. Don't blame me, I voted for the guy with the dog last time.

    2. Is the Muir family in any way involved in Thunder’s campaign?

      If so, maybe we can look forward to more shady robocalls and mailers from undisclosed sources.

      Thunder isn’t above it. Remember when she and her NRT pals stole the good names of hundreds of citizens who signed a single-issue non-partisan petition, and used those names to endorse a right wing slate of candidates without consulting or asking those citizens if it was okay, or giving them a way to remove their names?

      And remember when her and her NRT pals created a fake persona for Not-a-real-doctor Gaspar? They dubbed him “the mayor of the rail trail,” even though he lives no where near the rail trail, no one ever saw him at a public meeting about the trail, and he did absolutely nothing on the issue before or since.

      Yup. If past is prologue, we can expect a shady, misleading, and dirty campaign this Fall from Ms. Thunder.

  8. Thunder’s problem in this election is the Dr. Gaspar problem.

    Gaspar didn’t get crushed because he was a physical therapist, he got crushed because he misrepresented himself. Voters can smell phony a mile away, and if we can’t trust you in something as small and simple as who you are, then we can’t trust you near the levers of power.

    Likewise, Julie won’t lose because she’s a Republican. Muir won several times as a Republican. Thunder will lose because she’s not honest about being a Republican. Again, voters can smell phony a mile away, and it doesn’t smell good.

    If she wants any chance at all, she needs to be honest. Her family business is a BIA concrete company that builds stack and pack in Encinitas. In the past she has endorsed nothing but right wing candidates. The public records show the Thunders have donated to only candidates like Trumper Carl DeMaio. I believe her financial filings on the city website show she’s hired Brian Bilbray’s wife to be her campaign Treasurer.

    And yet she claims to be an independent, centrist, Kumbya candidate.

    I’m sorry, but that’s just phony. It’s like she learned nothing from her buddy “Doctor” Gaspar.

  11. The story came from the media. The Unions spent close to $150,000 attacking Graham about this exact same issue and we're talking about a $800 Independent Expenditure? I believe all of this came out before the women changed her story. The Telemaketer also seem to have his own issues.

  12. Yellow journalism. This is nothing but ASTROTURFING by sinking turds like Marco Gonzo and nefarious little men like Mike Verdu to cast a pathetic guilt-by-association hit job at a mayoral candidate that can't otherwise be impeached. This has been done regularly by the Blakespear deep state, notably when Tricia Smith comes out as a council mouthpiece in social media (absent any disclosure that she is the mother of the beast) on controversial issues and when the Leichtag operative recently poured his pour little heart out on EV in weepy support of lady Catherine.

    Cheat, lie, and stand for nothing indeed.

    1. Quite the truth missive 10:56

      Democrats go to commie training camp monthly

      Leftism is a religion of domination

      The only way to counter the left is to fight back with the same disgusting tactics they use but the key here is never relent until every single leftist is completely and totally destroyed

      It's rather simple and easy because they talk and troll big but most of them live in their moms basement with their snuggies and s'mores wimps that they are teeeheehee

    3. except knowing someone and even as a friend doesn't mean you "lie" with their wrongdoing. your folksy little saying does not apply unless you think you can make something out of it where there is nothing. dropping a handful of fleas on someone is your making, not theirs no matter who they associate with. but you know that.

      where is thunder's name written anywhere in this complaint? we'll wait. and your sad attempt to fake it by association doesn't count.
