Proof That Kevin V. Ryan Contributed to Terence Hallinan's Campaign for San Francisco District Attorney while Kevin V. Ryan was a sitting San Francisco Criminal Court Judge
Although (then) San Francisco Criminal Court Judge Kevin V. Ryan denied it, Ryan did contribute to Terence Hallinan's local District Attorney re-election campaign.
Additionally, we found that:
-
Hallinan contributed to Ryan's election campaign for the (then) new created San Francisco Judicial Seat 8.
-
Victor Makras, a member of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, also contributed to Ryan's election campaign for San Francisco Judicial Seat 8.
-
Donna Sullivan Costello, Ryan's (then) court reporter, illegally contributed nearly $1,000 to Ryan's re-election campaign.
-
Paul Cummins, a Deputy D.A. in Hallinan's office who was involved in the local Nary criminal trial, contributed to Ryan's re-election campaign.
-
Ryan also contributed to Mabel Teng's re-election campaign for San Francisco Supervisor.
Below: Documentary proof that Ryan contributed to Hallinan's re-election campaign. As noted above, Ryan was a criminal court judge, and Hallinan was the D.A. who argued cases before him.
Victor Makras, a member of the San Francisco County Public Utilities Commission at the time, contributed to Ryan's re-election campaign for San Francisco Judicial Seat 8. (Note: Ryan did not identify himself as a local judge.)
"Kevin Ryan" an "Attorney," who lived at the same address as Kevin V. Ryan the successful Municipal Court Judge Candidate, also contributed to Mabel Teng's re-election campaign for San Francisco City Supervisor. We note that by the time "Kevin Ryan" had made his $100 contribution to Mabel Teng's campaign on May 23, 1998, Kevin V. Ryan (A/K/A Kevin Ryan, the former Muni Court Judge candidate?) had been sworn in as a Municipal Court Judge for nearly three months. How could Ryan forget that he was a sitting judge?
