Cabot phillips: The los angeles mayor's race has been shaken up in recent days by two headline grabbing stories involving progressive front runner, congresswoman karen bass. He says that an official at the university of southern california who set to go on trial for bribery charges, was involved in a 100 thousand dollar scholarship for bass. And just days later, bass announced that her home had been burglarized and some curious items stolen. Cabot Phillips: Bass denies it, but there seems to be no doubt that there is at least some connection between bass and maryland flynn. It doesn't look great.
