Brian Williams is the former deputy mayor of public safety in Los Angeles.
Part of his role of public safety was apparently to make bomb threats.
He has now agreed to plead guilty to threatening to bomb City Hall.
Punishment?
He faces up to 10 years.
U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli warned that in today’s heated rhetoric, public officials can’t just fling bomb threats around….
So in a climate where heated debate isn’t happening, they can make bomb threats?
Los Angeles is quite the town. For those of you that don’t live there, you’re missing out. The sheer thrill of going about your day, never knowing if today your leaders might decide to set fire to the town or bomb it.
Brian Williams, former Deputy Mayor to LA Mayor Karen Bass, has pled GUILTY to calling a fake Bomb Threat on his own City Hall because “he was tired of the city support of Israel”. The LAPD uncovered the crime before giving the investigation to the FBI.https://t.co/LWwFAPoDsR

Fox News reports:
A former aide to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass who served as the deputy mayor of public safety has agreed to plead guilty to threatening to bomb City Hall last year, the Justice Department said Thursday.
Brian Williams, 61, of Pasadena, agreed to plead guilty to a single-count of “information with threats regarding fire and explosives”, which carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
“In an era of heated political rhetoric that has sometimes escalated into violence, we cannot allow public officials to make bomb threats,” said U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. “My office will continue its efforts to keep the public safe, including from those who violate their duty to uphold the law.”
The threat was carried out on Oct. 3, 2024 during a virtual meeting with Williams and others related to his duties, federal prosecutors said. During the call, Williams used the Google Voice application on his personal cellphone to place a call to his city-issued cellphone.
He then left the meeting and called the chief of staff of the Los Angeles Police Department, in which he falsely stated that he had just received a call on his city-issued cellphone from an unknown man who threatened to bomb Los Angeles City Hall.
Ten minutes after the call, Williams texted Bass and several high-ranking city officials in the mayor’s office and falsely reported, “Bomb threat: I received phone call on my city cell at 10:48 am this morning. The male caller stated that ‘he was tired of the city support of Israel, and he has decided to place a bomb in City Hall. It might be in the rotunda.’ I immediately contacted the chief of staff of LAPD, they are going to send a number of officers over to do a search of the building and to determine if anyone else received a threat.”
Remember when she took a trip to Africa right before the LA fires?
What good timing.

Imagine my shock when I found out she was part of a Communist group. Not shocked at all.
Did You Know:
