2. Mayor @ericgarcetti said this to an advisor in 2018: âI canât believe Rick worked at City Hall for three years and we didnât get sued.â
The advisor was stunned that Garcetti was acknowledging that Jacobs& #39; conduct was a major issue. https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusive-mayor-and-first-lady-of">https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusi...

3. Jacobs regularly engaged in sexual harassment and assault; displayed abusive behavior toward colleagues and underlings; and had questionable ethics.
The Mayor of LA @ericgarcetti and his wife Amy Wakeland were aware of this and they did nothing. https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusive-mayor-and-first-lady-of">https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusi...

4. Jacobs has reserved most of his animus for women. Ten women who worked for Garcetti told me this week that Jacobs frequently bullied them, threatened them, harassed them and sent them inappropriate text messages and emails. https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusive-mayor-and-first-lady-of">https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusi...
5. Jacobs âtreats women horribly,â one source told me. âAnd he would often brag about how he enjoyed making women cry.â
Two women also told me they witnessed Jacobs grab other women without consent. https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusive-mayor-and-first-lady-of">https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusi...

6. Four sources told me this week that they made it clear to Mayor @ericgarcetti that they could not work for him as long as Jacobs remained. All four said they told Garcetti that Jacobs engaged in inappropriate behavior and was abusive toward staff. https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusive-mayor-and-first-lady-of">https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusi...
7. LA Mayor @ericgarcetti âdidnât ignore Rickâs behavior because he was loyal to Rick; he ignored Rickâs behavior because he enjoyed that he had someone to bully people and he didnât have to do it,â a former top adviser to Garcetti told me. https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusive-mayor-and-first-lady-of">https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusi...
8. After my first story, the Biden campaign removed LA Mayor @ericgarcetti from an event. I was told by two Biden campaign aides that he would no longer appear as a surrogate for the campaign.
But then Garcetti showed up at event with @DouglasEmhoff. https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusive-mayor-and-first-lady-of">https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusi...

9. Today a source sent me an invite for an event on Monday for Sen @CoryBooker. LA Mayor @ericgarcetti is the "special guest."
I asked Booker& #39;s staff about Garcetti& #39;s presence and they responded to me for a bit and then disappeared with no explanation https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusive-mayor-and-first-lady-of">https://yashar.substack.com/p/exclusi...

10. A source told me that 20 minutes after a major LA firm booked a meeting with LA Mayor @ericgarcetti, they received a call from his top aide Rick Jacobs soliciting a donation for the Mayor& #39;s non-profit.
It made them very uncomfortable.
