And so while Superintendent Flowers, who was with his attorney was careful not to name names, his rage is clearly directed against National security Minister John Saldivar. So, today we spoke to Saldivar by phone and we asked him how he responds to the allegations.

"The allegations that Mr. Mark Flowers has made is that you are the moving hand behind his being charged, that you supposedly paid the family $8,000 so that they would make a malicious complaint against him because you have a personal vendetta against him. Can you give us a response sir?"
Hon. John Saldivar, Minister of National Security
"That has to absolutely ridiculous. I certainly don't even know the victims nor the parent or mother. I've never met them, don't even know their names and so any assertions that I may have been involved with the family is a complete fabrication from Mr. Flowers. The charges that he is facing are serious charges that can cost him is career and can certainly land him in jail. I can understand how he is desperate to try to deflect some of the tension from him but certainly I have not been involved in any such thing, I don't even know the victims or the mother."
Daniel Ortiz
"Okay and the next very serious accusation is that you are somehow involved, or you are the chief architect in his downward spiral out of the Gang Suppression Unit. You supposedly took, according to him, action against him because he declared his support for your opponent Patrick Faber before the national deputy convention."
Hon. John Saldivar, Minister of National Security
"That has to again be ridiculous, I didn't even know that Mr. Flowers supported Mr. Faber, he wasn't even a delegate. I don't believe he was even a delegate in that convention and I had no idea he was supporting. Certainly as I said before, the change made at the GSU was discussed internally and they felt that there had to be a new focus, nothing personal against Mr. Flowers."
