I Also, ns discussed above in Section 111, CHOW has been intercepted on numerous telephone wiretaps ^ that were conducted more recently, in 2007 and 2008. However, despite being relatively more recent, these intercepted communications also hear no relevance to the instant investigation. The intercepted calls involving CHOW were either non pertinent, or contained no information of relevance to the instant investigation, or both. Accordingly, I do not believe that these intercepted communications can be used 5 to fully achieve the goals of this investigation.

Iam aware of CHS #1 1 , of whom investigating agents first became aware on March 13, 2012. CHS #1 1 provided the FBI with a copy of a consensual recording of CHOW and an interviewer. The recording was made on or about January 29, 2009. The recording features a monologue of CHOW in which he discusses his life upon arriving in the United States from Hong Kong in the 1 970s, and CHOW's early involvement with organized crime elements in San Francisco’s Chinatowm. CHS #1 1 advised that the recording was made at the request of CHOW so that CHOW could tell his life story, which CHOW hoped could be sold and scripted into a film. The FBI agent who was responsible for handling CHS #1 1 is no longer with the Asian Organized Crime Squad in San Francisco, and provided the information regarding CHS #1 1 investigative agents on March 13, 2012. The handling agent further stated that CHS #1 1 was closed as a source in May 2009 due to a lack of further access to CHOW, and relocation of CHS #11. Asa result, I believe CHS #1 1 is currently not in a position to obtain information on 38. For example, in October 2009, during a conversation with CHOW and a confidential human source (herein, CHS #1), CHOW discussed how he had $50,000 in his bank account that he set aside to get his book published. CHOW stressed to CHS #1 that those funds were absolutely legitimate. Further into the conversation, CHOW told CHS #1 that he now promoted “grand ideas.” CHS #1 told CHOW not to stir up any trouble, to which CHOW responded that law enforcement was looking to put CHOW away, and that there were “snitches” out there who were using CHOW to direct law enforcement attention onto CHOW. CHOW said that he did not care, because what was happening “out there” had, nothing to do with him. him look like a gangster. Senator YF.E stated that the FBI and the cops felt like CHOW was kicking sand in their faces and they didn’t like that. Senator YEE stated CHOW had a problem because he didn’t understand that he needed to lay low. Senator YEE stated F.

JONES said that she wanted a $10,000 commitment from UCE 4773, and stated: "You pay to play here. We got it. Wc know this. We are the best at this game; uh, better than New York. We do it a little more sophisticated than New Yorkers. We do it without the mafia." JONES continued on "this is a moderate business focus mayor. He was pretty much trained and developed by Willie Brown and the same as myself and we were trained to get the job done ... we know we have to get the job done." UCE 4773 said "ok." JONES continued "our plan is once wc give him the money, is a) On November 30, 20 1 2, at approximately 8: 1 5 a.m., Senator YEF. received a call from (41 5) 710-0014 from Sharmin Bock. Senator YEE staled “I’ve got $6,000 here.” Bock stated “oh, awesome. Okay, well, I’ll get 6 couples to pony up.” Senator YEE said “so whenever you’re ready, uh, let me know and then I can, uh, you know, you know, give it to you, or whatever.” Bock asked if that was the most that YEE could do. Senator YEE stated “yeah, the only problem yeah, is that’s probably all that you, 1 can do. It’s been really, uhm, just tough going because, uhm, you know, we’ve been able to raise money elsewhere and so, that’s how we’ve been able to do it. Uhm, and just to let you know, all the checks have been vetted in the sense that, uhm, you know, we have like, you know, who, who these individuals are, their occupation and all that kind of stuff.” Bock stated “it’s no like, strip club money or anything like that right? I’m good” and b) Case3:14-cr-00196-CRB Document884-l Filed08/04/15 Page4 of 12 1 On December 7, 2012, at approximately 8:36 a.m., Senator YEE called Sharmin Bock. Bock 2 stated “I’m rounding up checks.” Senator YEE stated “I got two extra for you .... I, I have six 3 now . . . and I’m gonna get two more.” Bock asked “okay, so is that seven thousand, then?” 4 Senator YEE stated “no, that’s eight thousand.” Bock stated “okay, good, so I’ll hustle. . . . My 5 goal is to get this done before the holidays. I leave ... on the 22 nd of December. So I’m, I’m 6 just, you know. I’m having difficulty getting people to call when I’m not in court.” I believe that 7 this conversation related to Senator YEE’s efforts to disguise illegal payments. c) 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 27. December 10,2012 On December 10, 2012, at approximately 8:40 a.m.. Senator YEE called Sharmin Bock. Senator YEE stated that he needed to make a correction, that initially “he” said he had six, then Bock said she could do more, then Senator YEE stated people pulling together were supposed to get two more. Senator YEE stated unfortunately they were only able to get Senator YEE one more, so Bock should give YEE six, give YEE an additional thousand and Senator YEE would go ahead and get that over to Bock. Bock stated “just hang on to it, I’m going to get mine, let’s do what we each have in hand.” Senator YEE stated that was fine, let’s just get it done. d) On April 6, 2013, at approximately 1:55 p.m., JACKSON used Target Telephone 1 to speak with BUTLER. BUTLER advised JACKSON that the “check that we gave that politician, DA, whoever, it didn't go through, what's going on?" JACKSON said that he tried to find out if they were going to send the check back through, but nobody returned his phone cail. BUTLER responded “why don't you check on it but I'll need to put the money in the account just in case they put it back through, so there isn't an overdraft." JACKSON agreed to figure out what was going on. I believe this conversation related to JACKSON helping YEE swap donation checks with Sharmin Bock to circumvent campaign financing laws. e) Case3:14-cr-00196-CRB Document884-l Filed08/04/15 Page5 of 12 1 2 3 4 3 6 7 8 9 10 n 12 On April 28. 2013. at approximately 5:51 p.m., JACKSON used Target Telephone 1 to speak with YEE or Target Telephone 4 YEE told JACKSON he did rot have Stcver [Loo’s] number so JACKSON stated he would text it to him. JACKSON stated that LAO “is trying to build lot oT stuff on the state level to, so yeah, he can write a check for $500, but you need like the big checks though, right 17 ” YEE responded "oh. no. nr, absolutely, you know absolutely, but, what he can do is, you know. Ire can write like six thousand five, six thousand eight and then still write a $500 check to Sharmin [Bock], you know, because that doesn't count against, you know, so he is free to write Sharmin anytime." YEE explained that would help him then get some money from Sharmin’s people. YEE Continued “yeah, because, yeah, cause you know, Steve Lao writes $500 check to Sharmin, T give that check then to Sliarmin’s people who write S500, then if I do that she is going to be motivated to do another event fot me.” YEE stated that Sharmin can raise a lot of money because “she’s got CEO’s of Silicon Valley, this and that and shit like that.” YEE then offered to call Lao and explain it to him. 1 believe this conversation related to YEE swapping donation checks with Bock as part of his larger scheme to circumvent state and local campaign finance laws. L. 18 Sharmin. JACKSON said he would have Eric WRIGHT and his people do some for Sharmin as well. 1 9 YEE replied “'Cause she’s a DA in Alameda county and that's why I was going to say, Steven, hey. you ^ know, help out Sharmin, man. If you need some help m Alameda County, we can use her, you know. She’s a fucking DA, man."

After spending some time on small talk on topics such as football, UCE 4599 and PALEGA engaged in a discussion about UCE 4599's business. Before getting into that, PALEGA told UCE 4599 and JACKSON something to the effect that whatever was said at the table, had to stay at the table. PALEGA said that he had a lot to lose. UCE 4599 said that was fine and he felt the same way. JACKSON was and New Jersey. UCE 4599 said that he had a large property in Mendocino County where he grew marijuana and had a constant problem with people trying to break in. UCE 4599 said that he needed equipment to supply his men so that they could defend the operation. PALEGA responded that he had contacts and he could supply machine guns. UCE 4599 cautioned PALEGA, and said that “we” refer to guns as “girlfriends.” Large guns such as machine guns and rifles are referred to as “big girls” and handguns are referred to as “small girls.” PALEGA said that his contact is a white guy who can get what UCE 4599 needs. PALEGA said that he would get a list of what his supplier has available.

BROWN told JACKSON that he was “fairly disgusted with that little heffer London Breed.” BROWN explained that Breed was continuing to ask questions and investigate “the dead issue about” Henry ALVAREZ. ALVAREZ was the former Executive Director of the San Francisco Housing Authority. BROWN stated that “nothing has been presented factually in terms of what the man did that could be considered malfeasance.” JACKSON asked how they could help with Breed and BROWN answered “she needs to shut her mouth and 1 think we need to have a meeting with her.” JACKSON agreed to set up a meeting. On April 12, 2013. at approximately 6:31 p m, JACKSON used Target Telephone 1 to call BUTLER, JACKSON told BUTLER about BROWN'S complaint surrounding Breed. BUTLER stated Breed was making a lot of fuss around the ALVAREZ matter and that “they got evidence that he was getting his damn house fixed on. Henry was sending people over there doing shit for Reverend BROWN.” JACKSON replied that he knows that, but Breed needed to "let this shit go. You can’t kill everybody. Okay, Henry going to step away, fucking let him go. But if you keep on fucking inquiring about this shit, they you gonna fucking hurt Reverend BROWN, we need him.” BUTLER and JACKSON continued to discuss how Breed needed to stop digging into ALVAREZ because “if she digs too hard, she gonna blow something up on him.” BUTLER agreed to call Breed and set up a meeting with her and BROWN.

During the cal!, JACKSON explained to CHS 41 1 that he has a meeting next Wednesday with Reverend Amos BROWN and London Breed because of Henry ALVAREZ. JACKSON stated that Breed was digging into ALVAREZ and BROWN wanted to get her to stop. JACKSON ran into Breed and told her “I’ll be honest with you, you done pissed them off, you know. And you can’t piss off the leadership because Reverend BROWN still is, he’s still a leader in this city when it comes to the black people.” Breed responded “I got you Keith." JACKSON then told her the problem was “they got something on Reverend BROWN. ... The city. They know when Henry was director of the house, Reverend BROWN had people coming in from the housing authority coming in working on his house.” JACKSON then told CHS #1 1 that later when BROWN was out of town, somebody broke into his house and “cleaned him out.” JACKSON thinks BROWN must think it is the housing authority workers because BROWN did not file a police report.

If they use housing authority time, they on the housing authority r.lnrlc those nronlr mad when thev po to work on somebody elsc’s house.” R. a) 8 9 10 11 12 minority politicians. TOWN'SEND talked about CHS #1 1 sending his monthly money through JACKSON. TOWNSEND explained that was so if TOWNSEND gave public testimony he could say he didn’t receive any money from CHS #1 1 , so that way he could vouch for CHS #1 1 as the VP of the NAACP, because of the quality of the deal and not because TOWNSEND was being paid, “that way we ain’t got no paper trail.” They talked about working the projects in b) 5 6 7 8 9 10 TOWNSEND stated he would show anger for causes, but that the anger was all calculated.

I believe this conversation related to TOWNSEND seeking to find city development projects for CHS #1 1 to invest in. JACKSON “let me try to get you taken care of,” meaning he wanted to get TOWNSEND paid by CHS #1 1 first. JACKSON complained that he had yet to be reimbursed by CHS # 1 1 for his rent for the office space in Sacramento. d) On April 7, 2013, JACKSON used Target Telephone 1 to send and receive multiple text messages with TOWNSEND.

Cause you know the mam thing is wc wanna make sure wc got somebody that that understand they got to play.” I believe this related to BUTLtR conspiring with JACKSON to engage in a bid rigging scheme. a) Un April 4, 201 i, il approximately 4:A/ p.m., JALKiUN spruce untn Lien nu i i.tKover Tareet Teleplionc I JACKSON told BUTLER he *culd be at City Hall tomeiTow mernine for a meeting with CHS # 1 1 and San Francisco District Supervisor Malia Cohen BUTLER inquired as lo how JACKSON’s interactions have been with Cohcr so far.

JONES called UCE 4773 back later that night at approximately 9:05 p.m. from (415) 845-5841. Based on cell site data, JONES was in California. UCE 4773 was in Georgia. UCE 4773 told JONES that he spoke to MOHAJER about issuing $5,000 checks but wanted to make sure they aren't doubling up on the names they used as contributors. JONES said UCE 4773 can not contribute $500 if it’s already done under his name and said "you would have to put that under one of your family members name" and that she needs the descriptions as to occupations and if "they are retired that's ok." At this point, JONES realized she was speaking to UCE 4773, said she called the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 wrong person back and said "Oh my god, I'm thinking you're someone from San Jose .... Sorry I had a hectic day today, I really apologize." She then switched the subject, "Ed knows that you gave the 10,000 ... he knows that ... he knows that you will give another 1 0,000. He also knows that we had to break the 10,000up." JONES continued, "I can give you a list of names if that's what you want. The people that we broke it down . . . which 1 promised you I was gonna do." JONES then said that she needed to speak to MOHAJER because MOHAJER supposedly made a copy of all the checks.
