Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. On this episode, Kevin and Scot talk with Brandon Harami, a former staffer for the city of Oakland who worked for both Mayor Sheng Thao and Kevin Jenkins before being fired for BS reasons. Brandon talks to us about how he was treated by his political foes, the FBI case against Thao and the forces working against progress in the city.
