Here is the anonymous(?) tweet in defense of Trutanich, that ZD & Higby feels is Nuch speaking in ZD-style 3rd person, about himself. LOL! Does the syntax give him away? (Replies posted, too.):

Michael -

The City Attorney's Office has never been better. Morale is high despite nearly everyone having a 15% pay cut caused by having to take 36 unpaid "furlough" days. I say nearly everyone because there are a handful of exceptions made for essential personnel, such as Carmen Trutanich himself, and others who are close to indispensable. Nobody resents that, and that is because Carmen Trutanich is widely loved within the office, as are his executive staff.

Carmen Trutanich is a genius, a legal leviathan who has turned around the way the City Attorney's Office now fights lawsuits. He invented the "Porcupine Defense," a brilliant legal strategy to fight cases. Carmen learnt the Porcupine Defense when he was in grade school and it has worked for him ever since. He explains it as "You may eat me, but I won't taste good going down." It is an amazing strategy and as soon as the City stops losing cases because some of the lazy deputy city attorneys don't understand their leader's brilliant legal mind, it will probably be used by Harvard and other top law schools. For the present, the LAPD cases that are being lost, are a small price to pay for having the benefit of such an astute legal mind for a mere $237,000 a year, which is about a quarter of what Carmen Trutanich says he used to earn before become our great leader.

The Marijuana ordinance that Carmen Trutanich invented was finally bringing the explosion of pot shops under control until a stupid judge declared that it was unconstitutional in that it lacked a rational basis. The judge clearly was wrong, but very cleverly, Carmen Trutanich did not appeal the judge. Instead he wrote an even better ordinance. That's the kind of legal genius he is.

I heard you on LA Talk Radio last night speaking to Zuma Dogg and David Berger. Why you bother with those losers is a mystery to me. Zuma was very helpful to Carmen during the campaign, but Carmen was never serious about giving him a job. Carmen it too clever for that. Now Zuma just attacks Carmen at every opportunity out of bitterness.

The same goes for Berger who was fired for wasting city time fundraising to retire Carmen's personal campaign debts and refusing to carry out direct orders. He now hides behind pseudonyms at the Dragnet blog and tries to attack the good work of Carmen Trutanich at every opportunity. He is also trying to bust the DA's union by publishing tabloid style exclusives about a few minor errors that were made by the leader, Steve Ipsen, such as Ipsen being slammed by the Supreme Court for committing prosecutorial misconduct in double murder trials and other irrelevant stuff like that.

I suggest you stop associating with the likes of Zuma and Berger before you lose all credibility.

10:41 that's one of the funniest posts I've read all year. I wonder how many of our dum dums will get it.

10:41 is quite correct.

Nuch is a hero and you guys, especially ZD and Berger (sour grapes) are LOSERS!!!

Nuch, and his Senior Staff, have already saved countless millions for the City by taking a hard line and trying cases and winning them, and hard bargaining before settling. None of that $2 Million plus giveaways to Firefighters whose feelings got hurt by some hazing with dog food.

The billboards and marijuana issues rankle the Council because their donations are drying up when the "donors" realize they can't skate any more on the loosely worded ordinances that are intended to regulate no one.

Nuch would make a great D.A. but the City would be diminished by losing him.

Just think, we could have had Jack Weiss. I rest my case.

Lying to people and flipping 180 on what you said during the campaign, WILL turn people into sour grapes, Nuch. Why not aks yourself why everyone has turned on you? Everyone is sour grapes. Mailander, Higby, Zuma Dogg, Berger, Cooley...ALL former supporters, except Mailander. The rest TURNED. You are the sour grapes machine.

Look at Trutanich. He's referring to himself in the 3rd person, like Zuma Dogg. "The Marijuana ordinance that Carmen Trutanich invented..." (10:41 AM. It matches his syntax. Helen Keller can see that.)

2:50PM just confirmed the rumor that Nuch is backing out of the DA Race: "Nuch would make a great D.A. but the City would be diminished by losing him." In other words, Nuch got the crap scared out of him when he realized that all his lies and tricks were being outed by the bloggers. So now he'll try to convert any money his bogus campaign "Draft Trutanich 4 DA" raised to his bid to be re-elected as City Attorney in 2013.

But let's set the recored straight about Nuch. Marijuana shops are opening up daily all over again, and Nuch is stuck because his hastily cobbled together "scorched earth" ordinance was declared to be unconstitutional. Berger told him the original ordinance was fatally flawed because it based the limit on the number of pot shops on an expired and unenforceable temporary control ordinance, but Nuch knew better; he wanted the headlines fast. Now we're back to worse than square one.

As for Nuch saving the city millions, that's as false a claim as his lie that he came up with the idea for the ACE program. Nuch's figures are all voodoo math. He takes the first demand from a claimant which is always inflated, and then takes the figure the case settles for, as the the saving. In reality, he should be taking the final demand before trial and comparing that to the settlement figure. He won't do that because it will show that, with the exception of LAPD cases, he's about the same as Rocky. The LAPD cases are much worse. His schoolyard Porcupine Defense has cost the city millions because it is plain stupid.

Paul Krekorian will run for City Attorney and win, and that's what's scarred LA's bully into pulling out of Carmengeddon over the DA Race.
