"The Gayaldo Dossier": Flores Arrest Warrant Appears to be a "Cut-and-Paste" of 209 Times Hit Pieces
STOCKTON, CA – New revelations into the Stockton Unified School District Trustee AngelAnn Flores case unearthed startling evidence that the arrest warrant issued against her was seemingly constructed with little more than recycled allegations from multiple "hit piece" columns penned by "investigative reporter" Frank Gayaldo in the notorious local online rag, 209 Times.
The warrant, a document ostensibly based on thoroughly investigated claims, reportedly contains no evidence of independent interviews or corroboration beyond the unsubstantiated claims initially published by Gayaldo. "It's a cut-and-paste job," declared an anonymous source familiar with the warrant's contents, speaking on condition of anonymity due to fear of retribution from what they ominously referred to as "the 209 Times-Industrial Complex." The source continued, "The warrant reads more like a poorly plagiarized term paper cribbed entirely from Gayaldo's online rants."
Nowhere within the warrant's pages is there any indication that law enforcement interviewed a single witness independently of Gayaldo's published opinions. The "evidence" presented appears to be a regurgitation of 209 Times Facebook posts, transformed into the legal justification for her arrest to satisfy CEO Motecuzoma 'Motec' Sanchez and Gayaldo's long-standing personal vendetta against Trustee Flores.
Further deepening the stench of potential collusion is the revelation that the detective Rocky Bulin who penned the Flores arrest warrant is a known “best buddy” of Frank Gayaldo. Multiple sources confirm the two are practically inseparable, sharing everything from lukewarm coffee at local diners to presumably highly confidential information. Despite this cozy relationship and his years-long public campaign targeting Flores on 209 Times, Frank Gayaldo expressed outrage at the accusation. "It's just a coincidence," Gayaldo fumed from his vacation home in the Philippines. As a young local woman gave him his daily massage, he added, "Rocky and I did not coordinate anything. Purely happenstance! Yes...right there, that’s the spot.”
Frank Gayaldo's current indignation stands in stark contrast to his previous public pronouncements against the weaponization of the justice system. In one 2018 post, unearthed by our crack social media archaeology team, Gayaldo railed against the "injustice" of FISA warrants obtained based on flimsy, politically motivated opposition research and highlighted his vehement belief that the justice system was being unfairly wielded against his favorite President. Apparently, his concern for the sanctity of the justice system extends only as far as his personal political affiliations.
Political observers have pointed to the parallels to the infamous Christopher Steele dossier. Just as the dossier was produced by the Clinton campaign and laundered through the FBI to serve as the basis for FISA warrants targeting Trump associates during the 2016 election, the Flores warrant appears to be fueled by politically motivated attacks masquerading as legitimate law enforcement findings. In both instances, the justice system seems to have been weaponized against political rivals, raising serious questions about the integrity of legal proceedings and a disturbing pattern of prosecutorial overreach in the pursuit of political vendettas.
"It's fascinating, isn't it?" remarked a local political pundit who wished to remain anonymous for fear of a 209 Times column about their untidy lawn mysteriously becoming the basis for a RICO case by the DA's office. "Mr. Gayaldo rails against the justice system being 'weaponized' when it goes after Trump, yet seems to have no compunction whatsoever when it's used to jail his own political rivals right here in Stockton. It's almost as if some people believe the rules only apply when it suits their narrative."
The Flores defense team is expected to seize upon these revelations, arguing that the entire case is a politically motivated sham designed to silence a dissenting voice on the SUSD board. Whether this blatant leveraging of the justice system against a political opponent will face any scrutiny remains to be seen.
As the fallout from these revelations continues, one thing is clear: the lines between partisan hackery and law enforcement in San Joaquin County appear to be blurrier than a photograph of District Attorney Ron Freitas kissing the ring of Motec Sanchez. But one can only hope that the stench of recycled 209 Times rants won't linger too long over the halls of justice in Stockton. Frankly, with this level of political shenanigans, it's hard to keep track.
