WHY ISN'T RAMOS PROTECTING HIS WITNESSES??

Matt Brown, Paul Biane's Chief of Staff (Paul Biane being on the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors and one of the people that voted for the Colonies settlement), who supposedly is cooperating in an investigation relating to the Colonies case (corruption allegations) is stressed out because he was not prepared and protected. While witnesses need to be advised of what to expect and how to minimize needless confrontation and stress, why isn't the DA's office communicating with Biane's counsel telling his client to quit the sniping and making threatening comments toward what may be a material witness--as a potential defense attorney in a criminal action, the last thing you want is testimony against your client of pre-indictment attempts to scare off material witnesses. Get your people on the phone Ramos so just maybe, Brown can serve our county. Between Uffer and Brown, it is clear you are not taking the necessary steps to protect material witnesses. The failure to do so will chill or deter other people from coming forward--which is something if you know and allow, one has to ask if you are competent to do the job, or that is the precise result you want--an investigation that gets stunted.
