BUT WHERE DOES HE SHOWER?
According to the latest Fog City Journal article on his preliminary hearing, Ed Jew, appears to be in trouble. Nine felony counts, stemming from lies about his official residence, is a lot of felony counts.
Maintaining one lie (or residence) is a significant burden.
The dispute had been whether District 4 Supervisor Jew lived in his San Francisco district as required by law, or in Burlingame, a few freeway miles away.
Now prosecutors have presented an under-penalty-of-perjury loan application on which Ed swore he lives in Chandler, Arizona, and that he lived in Burlingame the previous six years, a time period in which he registered to vote in San Francisco.
As the Teletubbies would say, “Uh-oh!”
In the FCJ story the prosecutor breaks it down for us:

In the FCJ story the prosecutor breaks it down for us:
Ackiron said that if Jew was truthful in the loan application, he could not have been truthful when he registered to vote in San Francisco in 2003.
"If the reverse is true, this document is false and Mr. Jew has committed a federal crime," the prosecutor said.
Jew’s best defense is that truthfulness is a higher standard to which no other San Francisco public officials are held.
