In the aftermath of these incidents, O&amp;#x27;Neal announced that she would not seek re-election as Mayor and a state investigation was opened into the extortion allegation (Holsey-Hyman denies the alleged extortion attempt and a separate allegation that she ordered city employees to perform campaign work on her behalf).&lt;p&gt;Wtf. That alone is &lt;i&gt;wild&lt;/i&gt;, open brawls in parliament are usually something associated with dysfunctional democracies. Attempting to censor that and invite the Streisand effect? That&amp;#x27;s new. If you decide to throw fists in politics, at least don&amp;#x27;t attempt to contradict the evidence. JFC.</text></comment>

They&amp;#x27;ve probably had enough dealing with an unreasonable client so they made a few &amp;quot;mistakes&amp;quot; to blow the case up so the city can get a new official and they won&amp;#x27;t have to deal with them any longer.&lt;p&gt;If you listen to the linked video of the official yelling obscenities and acting unprofessionally, imagine working for them. On one hand, they&amp;#x27;ll do what they are told, on the other, mistakes &amp;quot;just happen&amp;quot;. And look at that, they are not seeking re-election any longer, sounds like a &amp;quot;win&amp;quot; for the attorney.</text></comment>
