This is the same guy who, when B-1 Bob Dornan lost his congressional seat, decided to go on a federally-prohibited witch-hunt by merging information in federal government INS database files with state of California voter rolls. Moreover, he didn't even have legal access to the INS files leaked to him via congressional privilege. The only thing that stopped him was a complaint from a civil rights organization promising a class action suit for violation of the Computer Records Matching Act additions to the landmark 1974 Privacy Rights Act.
FWIW, this same guy denied access to his political and professional calendar as Secretary of State when a request was made under the California Public Records Act.
These things I know because I worked with the civil rights group filing the complaint with the US Department of Justice, which finally prevailed upon Jones to follow the law with respect to his buddy's lost election.
