The swamp known as San Bernardino County is being drained, and those such as Mr. Ramos, and a host of others will be fully exposed, and most prosecuted once draining is completed. The U.S. Attorney's Office, and the FBI's Office of Public Corruption are well aware of what is taking place in San Bernardino County. Justice is slow, but it's coming. The Feds. were very consumed with the Pelicanos case, Sheriff Mike Corona in Orange County, and many others. The prosecutions that may take place are likely of cases most are unaware, such as the cover-up in the case of murder victim and businessman Angel Martinez in Fontana in 1988. This is where a great sum of money Mr. Martinez had in his possession at the time was later used to circumvent the investigation, and its prosecution, even with a confession by one of 2 suspects following a cold-case investigation. Attorney General Eric Holder is actually aware of what is taking place in San Bernardino County, and knows officers/deputies who became whistle blowers in departments such as San Bernardino, Colton, Fontana, and S.B.C.O have been fired following their coming forward with racist, and sexist acts by their supervisors, or peers. In spite of what you may think of Eric Holder, it is politically advantageous for him to clean up what is taking place here, as it plays into the future plans federal politicians have for San Bernardino County. S.B.C.O. will soon find itself being the test case for the merger of multiple municipalities, including Police/Fire services. They just have to clean it up some first. So justice is coming, but even when it does, it is only temporary. The League of California Cities is the legal municipal Mafia in California, and ALL your local elected officials bow to their new "Don, or Capo Crimini, and Master." www.cacities.org Ms. Ristow, I’m pleased to see you have retained counsel, but remember to consult with your counsel prior to making public statements.

I hope you know that Ramos wants nothing better than to shut you up. He thinks the litigation will get you to shut up and then the county will buy you off before this gets too far down the road. Word of advice, no settlements until he is deposed and he should be deposed after others are put on the record so that you have a lot of material for him to try and explain. He has a history of refusing to be deposed. As it gets closer, he will panic and self destruct. When he denied the affair the stakes went up by a factor of 10. If he ever gave you anything (other than bull shit) make sure you keep it. Plaintiff's exhibit #1. Put it in a safe place so his investigatiors don't try to find it and take it away from you. He really is that desperate. Remember Monica's famous dress. There must be something. Cheryl. I hope you know that Ramos wants nothing better than to shut you up.

I did not move to Redlands until June 2005. My youngest did not start school in Redlands School District until August 2005. I ended the relationship in Feb 2005.Anyone can do the math. I wonder what other excuse he might try to give now. Fact is, we did have a very physical and emotional relationship. And because I would not lie for him, I am being punished. But what he did not count on was me being a strong woman and not backing down to his LIES and INTIMIDATION. There were plenty of witnesses in regards to our relationship. I do hear that he has a habit of talking while drinking. I wish I knew whom he laments to. I would like to have them deposed. In due time, in due time Michael.

The county judges are too biased in favor of Ramos. Remember, he lobbied for thier fat county benefit packages over and above their state pay and benefits. The judges in Federal Court are more neutral and won't put up with any crap on discovery. The interviews that the county contract attorneys refuse to release will come out and the Board will look like they are hiding something. They apparently don't match the report that was released. With over 50 telephone calls between the two of you and he claims he doesn't know you except to try and use his political power to get your daughter into a school. Unless he does favors like that for all his lowly employees, that alone shows that you had some kind of relationship. He risked political capital for you. This lawsuit will get interesting when you take his deposition along with all the other women he was banging. Their sworn testimony is now relevant. It does tend to coroborate you and since he chose to deny it ever happened he has put your credibility at issue. His other women tend to show you are telling the truth. He was a fool to deny it.

The things they said in the letter on his website are absolutely libelous and clearly not privileged. If the Board follows the law the county taxpayers should be off the hook. Elected officials have to pay for their own defense in sexual harassmennt suits. If the board takes up his defense it will only be because he is blackmailing them. You should include his campaign consultant, Dave Ellis too. He runs the website and he advises Ramos on what to say. He drafts his responses including the one I am sure where he libeled you.

The Grand Jury has its limitations just the same, their "adviser" is a deputy da who refuses to see the conflict when a complaint may also involve the willful negligence or outright incompetence of the DA's office itself.
