#BREAKING: Miami Commissioners vote 4-1 to remove mob lawyer “Tricky” Vicky Mendez as Miami city attorney, effective immediately, and demote her, pending her termination date of June 11th — citing insubordination and lack of trust and confidence in her legal advice. Her final unethical act is to attack her clients on the way out the door. #BecauseMiami Thank you for your leadership, Commissioner @damianpardod2.
Ding-dong! Let everyone know in Vile Little Man Land! With “Tricky” Vicky Mendez out as Miami city attorney, thought I’d #FBF to an updated version of this classic cut. #BecauseMiami
Disgraced ex-Miami city attorney “Tricky” Vicky Mendez challenged her bosses on the commission to provide examples of her insubordination — and then responds with more insubordination! #BecauseMiami Mendez is an unethical mob lawyer who has bullied and abused residents, business owners, and even her own city commission clients for a decade with selective enforcement and self-serving interpretations of the city charter, code, and ordinances to target political enemies. Thank you Commissioners Damian Pardo and Miguel Gabela for standing up to her corruption. Minutes after this embarrassing scene, commissioners voted 4-1 to immediately remove her from her position. Joe Carollo was the lone no vote. @iamchristineking @francissuarez
#BREAKING: Lying corrupt coward Miami city manager Art Noriega is backing out of his public promise to his bosses on the city commission to “sit with Billy Corben across the table and present everything to him… I’m happy to give him the information, I’m happy to sit with him, l’ll answer whatever questions he has… l’m not hiding from it and I won’t run from it.” Now he’s running and hiding behind city spokesperson, propagandist, and mouthpiece for the criminal regime Kenia Fallat — who lied to me for five weeks: “As promised, you will be contacted by either myself or someone from his office for an appointment.” #BecauseMiami @iamchristineking @francissuarez

How the City of Miami — a criminal racketeering organization masquerading as a government — breaks the law to cover up its own crimes: 1. I make a public records request… 2. They ignore it and then close it OVER ONE YEAR LATER without providing all the records… 3. I tell them to reopen and comply with the law. P.S. They immediately reopen, but I’m still waiting on the records… #BecauseMiami FYI: I submitted these requests to determine how much Miami taxpayers have spent defending the multiple corruption cases against Commissioner Joe Carollo — including ones where he was sued in his PERSONAL CAPACITY and taxpayers are NOT LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE but have paid anyway. The current estimate is $10 million — and counting. @iamchristineking @francissuarez
Miami city manager @ArtNoriega (salary: almost $400,000/year) publicly promised a one-on-one interview to answer all my questions about the conflict of interest scandal involving taxpayer money and his wife’s overpriced furniture company @PradereOffice: “I’m not hiding from it and I won’t run from it.” But — SWIPE LEFT — his office has been REFUSING to schedule the meeting with me for FIVE WEEKS. #BecauseMiami @iamchristineking @francissuarez

“This is not an isolated incident. There is much more to be investigated, to be revealed…” Former Assistant State Attorney Melba Pearson @resident_legal_diva says the scandal involving Michael Von Zamft — a 28-year veteran prosecutor for Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle @saomiami, who was removed from a death penalty case by the judge for a decades-long pattern of misconduct including witness tampering, obstruction of justice, and getting caught on tape allegedly plotting to murder a witness — is indicative of a pattern and practice of unconstitutional and criminal behavior in Rundle’s office #BecauseMiami LINK IN BIO FOR FULL VIDEO
WE’RE #1: “Miami has more credit card fraud and identity theft than any city in the country,” according to a new report from USA Today Blueprint #BecauseMiami “Credit card fraud and identity theft in general are more common in Miami, Florida, than any other city in the country,” the study says, “with the Florida city seeing 372.7 complaints per 100,000 residents between January and September 2023.” Miami is #3 for most fraud overall, with 1,686.70 complaints per 100,000 residents, and Florida ranks #3 for states with the most fraud (1,363.00 complaints per 100,000 residents). #BecauseFlorida

“City manager Art Noriega is an overpriced furniture hustler disguised as a professional executive…” Another small victory on the long road to clean up the criminal racketeering organization that is Miami government: the city will no longer be doing business with Noriega’s wife’s overpriced furniture company @pradereoffice — as long as he’s city manager (which may not be much longer)… #BecauseMiami A January report in WLRN revealed that Miami taxpayers have spent over $2 million at Pradere since Noriega started running the Miami Parking Authority in 2000 and at least $440,000 since he became city manager in 2020. @francissuarez @iamchristineking

#BREAKING: In bombshell order today, Federal Judge K.
