in the clinton impeachment, which is really the only prior example of this, because there were new ethicalns that came up after watergate so clinton is all we can compare this to. they went to the office of government ethics for consultation on their saidup. jay sec ow low told me, i don't deal with that, i'm not a government employee. he didn't get this consultation. and so we don't have any of the safeguards the clinton team put in place. it raises a lot of questions for legal experts because the worry here is that in giving free legal services to the president, which rudy guiliani says he's doing, you could potentially be giving him a valuable gift. that exposes him to undue influence. then in the case of jay sekulow where we don't understand his income streams, other people, outside interests, could be coming in, trying to influence these people who are close to the president and providing him with services. >> as you reported out this story did paul manafort's name come up or loom large, given he oddly worked for free during the campaign, which again, in and of itself was not illegal,

an informational presentation on new ethics commission data dashboard tools for the novembe. >> h. i good afternoon, commissioners. my name is tyler field. i am a information systems engineer. i just got a new title. i'm here today to give you a brief presentation on updates to the data tools that the ethics commission provides. and if we can witch over to the computer, i want to first start with a quick refresher on the reporting and president came in finances reporting dead lines and periods and dead lines and throughout the year -- throughout the year, campaign communities have to present or have to file a form 460 with the commission that's a very tense, typically governmental difficult to under paper form and these are due at different periods throughout the year. i have a nifty little calender here. showing the 2019 dead lines and -- ok. and reporting periods. for 2019, the first semi annual form 460 was due on july 31st and it covered januaro 30th and i'm sure i don't have to elaborate too much on the calender. you can see that we're right here on october 18th and the last f

so i'll be looking at new ethic's laws that are in san francisco and so we have a few of those. so hopefully, we'll be able to put together information to keep everyone abreast of what we're working on here, which is important to have the network of other ethic's professionals that we know they're doing and they know what we're doing. that's a part of our policy, the approach of looking at what our colleagues are doing learning from the experiences and a lot of the work gets done at kogel. and i think that's the end of my updates and i will be glad to answer questions. >> this is really really valuable and i hope you get a lot out of it and i think you do and the publication, and i think that we have made progress in public finance certainly and in other areas in san francisco and please carry the flag forward over to kogel and we look forward to your report out on what the conference deny, what the team gets out of the conference and what you learned and new ideas to bring forward. and hopefully that can shape a part of our policy prioritization discussion in january as well. >

news. david you started out asking, is ethical that bloomberg news was a major news organization won't coverim or investigate him or any democrat. it is going to hurt their reputation. this happened in 2016, a paper called the new york observer was owned by jared kushner and they said they would not investigate trump and hurt their credibility. bloomberg will survive, he's not running out of money but this is a major loss of credibility for bloomberg news and as us as a public we have a lot of media choices including fox business. david: practically all of the media are against donald trump, lunenburg has been anti-trump and will continue to be entered trump is not anything new. >> for the last several years i've been very disappointed that bloomberg news was not down the middle. i think they had a real opportunity with the new york times and washington post going so far left to be the honest broker in the media landscape. sorry to interrupt you, they can see the same thing to our network. >> there's no one on the right and no one in the middle. don't they have to have a balance.

ethics law. we have the reports received since july 1, 2012. the whistleblower program received 502 new reports, an increase from the previous fiscal year. they received more complaints each fiscal year since 2013. there are several factors that can influence the number of reports received. we can't attribute the program to any one factor. it includes how the whistleblower program is advertised or organizational culture. the high volume could mean that it's working as planned or there's a greater awareness of the program, or that the department management is setting the proper term in reinforcing mechanisms, which include the whistleblower program. so here's when our report volume trended downward. we found that san francisco's program receives more complaints per capita then other jurisdictions. we also compared our volume against industry benchmarking reports. just another look at our complaint volume in fiscal year 2018-2019. we received 502 new reports throughout the course of the year, we closed 493. if just a look at how people file reports. the majority of the reports we receive
