Who Is Frank Robles' Sugar Daddy?

The latest round of campaign finance disclosures are out and wannabe Sheriff Frank Robles has only $12,474.03 left in his bank account.  

That's not enough to run a successful campaign for countywide office in Riverside County, so Robles' campaign is effectively already over.  Or is it?

The big news contained in Frank Robles' disclosure is the fact that he raised $110,693.00 last year. That's quite impressive for a failed police chief and political nitwit.  

But what's most intriguing about that money raised is that $100,000 of it came from a single source:  You guessed it dear readers, Southern California Braiding Company, Inc.

As we previously reported, Southern California Braiding Company is owned by Leo McIntyre.  McIntrye's contributions to Frank Robles make up more than 90% of all the money Robles has raised. 

It remains a mystery why a Los Angeles County based business and its Los Angeles County based owner have taken such a strong interest in electing Frank Robles as Riverside County Sheriff.  But the words "bought and paid for" do come to mind here.

The pervasive rumor around the County is that when Frank Robles ran the Coroners Office he met Leo McIntrye when McIntryre's wife died.  The two allegedly formed a friendship then that resulted in McIntryre making big monetary contributions to Robles' 1994 campaign for Sheriff and to Bob Doyle's campaigns as well.

If that's the case, then something is fishy.  Did Frank Robles do something inappropriate when he was at the Coroner's Office?  Is there a case there that should be re-opened and examined by the District Attorney or the Attorney General?  We honestly don't know what the real motivation for McIntyre is here.

Robles hasn't talked about the subject and no one in the dying traditional media is looking into the matter.  Which shouldn't surprise us at all.  After all, the Press-Enterprise got the nickname the Press-Enquirer from us because it spent more time sensationalizing gossip while covering over important facts in the interest of promoting its political agenda.

Hopefully someone will come forward and tell us just why Leo McIntyre is Frank Robles' sugar daddy. Until then dear readers, we will just have to keep digging into this story and the mysterious past interconnections of Frank Robles and Leo McIntyre.

wow what a stupid commentary. I am a voter and guess what, I REMEMBER!! I remember how Sniff, a FIRED assistant sheriff was APPOINTED by 3 nerds. I REMEMBER when we the PEOPLE were promised we could VOTE for this elected position. I REMEMBER how these same 3 nerds reneged on that promise. Sniff STOLE the sheriff job, never earned it and never approved by the PEOPLE! All you comment about is someone who gave money SO WHAT? It's sad that todays election wins depends on who raises the most money. I am voting for Frank because he is the best man for the job and not some FIRED dude that can't balance his own budget, that is out of touch with the people of this County that basically is what he always was, a FIRED employee. Really! Who do you think you are kidding! Spread all the smear and "rumors" you want, all you are doing is helping Robles gain more support.

Perhaps you should take a look at Andrews International ?

Frank has very spotted past, keep digging and be prepared for just about anything.

But remember this, Frank is just a puppet and always has been, a Teflon coated puppet.

The writer of this article seems to be in the back pocket of Stanley Sniff! this is not the first article which has tones of corruption being carried out by Frank Robles. Why not instead of wondering why an LA business owner is supporting Robles is the question not asked how did Sniff acquire a six figure war chest? Why is it that no one seems to know why Sniff was fired? The writer sure has questions about Robles could he not do an investigation into the firing? Is he so basis that he only writes about the contributions of one candidate and not the other? Having had to deal with the dept under Sniff there seems to be a dept that does not or will not do it's job. The hiring of deputies that refuse to take action even when presented with the evidence is quite clear here in the Jurupa area. Their never around in a timely fashion and seem to be quite irritated that they had to come out to the call at all. Hopefully when Robles wins the election the politically correct hiring practices will stop, and will finally get deputies who really want to do their job instead of collecting a paycheck. The spineless wonders who work in the Jurupa area are amazing and I can only hope that the change happens soon! I will be supporting Robles in the next election and for the sake of the Jurupa areas safety he wins!

I know Frank Robles as a friend and what I read here is lies. There are laws that protect people from telling lies against people running for office. Im sure Stan knows this. I worked for Frank in Desert Hot Springs and I know two things about Frank. Integrity and Honesty.

[I remember]

Why not ask more about Robles time at Desert Hot Springs? If you really want to find out what he did and how he did it ,for example how he became Chief. Go ahead Frank, tell everyone how you maneuvered that one. What he was involved with while he was Chief and how he was responsible for the Departments demise. This is only the tip of an enormous iceberg. It will all come out eventually.
