The Las Vegas Review-Journal was bought by the late Sheldon Adelson in 2015, but I doubt that would affect a Democratic Party primary for Clark County Public Administrator race.

I’m sure the Democrats could have come up with an easier way of scuppering this guy’s campaign than carrying out a hit and a conspiracy to cover it up; like just allowing Mr German to keep publishing his articles.

All that evidence and he helpfully supplies the prosecutor with a clear motive for the crime. Clark County really lost an opportunity when this genius wasn’t elected.

Telles claims to have been framed by the party establishment.

So either the party establishment committed the murder purely in order to frame him (did they have a reason to benefit from the reporter being dead?), or someone unknown committed the murder and the party establishment opportunistically managed to get some ‘framing’ evidence in play.

Riiiiight.

And not to be confused with this (singular) Tele.
