Kamala Harris’ rampant prosecutorial abuses

She should know. As a prosecutor, Harris too often abused her office in just the way she decried as a campaigner.

“America has a deep and dark history of people using the power of the prosecutor as an instrument of injustice,” Kamala Harris wrote in her 2019 campaign tract. “I know this history well — of innocent men framed, of charges brought against people of color without sufficient evidence, of prosecutors hiding information that would exonerate defendants, of the disproportionate application of the law.”

The former San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general is the last person who should lecture anyone on out-of-control prosecutors. When she talks about framing the innocent and hiding exculpatory evidence, Harris is either projecting or engaging in rank hypocrisy.
