Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao has retained a top criminal defense attorney following Thursday's FBI raid on her home who says it is not clear that she is even the subject of the investigation. Attorney Tony Brass said in an interview Friday that neither he nor Thao know any details of the federal investigation but said Thao is 'ready, willing and able to cooperate with authorities.
'The more people involved in the investigation, the more complex it will be, the more discovery they will need, the more documents they are seeking,' he said. So maybe the mayor's willingness to cooperate in the investigation wasn't the issue. Maybe that's why they needed a search warrant.'Thao is currently staying away from her home but still performing her duties as mayor and will provide a public statement next week, Brass said.
