I want to summarize what I read in Peter Schweizer's book, "Profiles In Corruption" about @KamalaHarris / @SenKamalaHarris.
She's one corrupt, unethical, human being.
I previously did the same for @JoeBiden here:
This will be a long thread.

2) “Harris is widely admired in Progressive circles as the female Obama.”
“She has worked hard to cultivate a celebrity mystique, while fiercely guarding her privacy.”
“... has a taste for expensive Manolo Blahnik shoes and Chanel handbags.”

3) She portrays herself as a hard-working, gritty, lawyer who is smart on crime, and wrote a book by that very title.
However, her rise in her career has some VERY troubling aspects, as we’ll see.

While Speaker, Brown also ran a law firm on the side, taking fees from lobbyists & others who had interest in having his help to steer legislation to their benefit.
No conflict there, right?

8) Brown was investigated several times by the CA Bar Association & FBI for corrupt practices.
Brown wore expensive clothes & drove Ferraris & Porsches.
A man of the people, right?
In 2006, 2-years after retiring from politics, he bought a $1.8M condo in downtown SF.

9) Brown has been married since the 1950's but that didn't stop him from dating @KamalaHarris who was 29 when they met. At that time, he was 60.
Their affair was the talk of San Francisco in 1994.
Here's an article from the LA Times, circa 1994:

10) Brown pulled levers for Harris that put money in her pocket & helped her career:
• Appointments to state commissions that paid well & did not need legislative approval.
• $99K (medical board) & $114K (unemployment appeals board). Both part-time!

• Brown also bought her a new BMW.
• And granted access to his donors, sponsors, and operatives.

Harris then started dating @Montel_Williams.
Harris stayed connected with Brown, who began peddling influence in Northern CA with abandon. The book cites quotes from even Democrat politicians ...

Harris then joined the SF DA's Office to head up their Career Criminals Unit.
Harris is alleged to have used her connection to Brown to have him disparage & discredit the DA, whose job she wanted.

And, she is alleged to have forced an army of city employees to do political work on her behalf, as they had for Willie Brown's campaigns.
Of course, this is completely illegal.

In 15-years as a Prosecutor, she prosecuted NOT ONE CASE of priest abuse!
Her office also hid many records of such abuse, even with the public outcry from victims' groups!

Not surprisingly, Harris had campaign donations roll in from those related to the Catholic Church & Catholic Organizations.

20) During her tenure as SF DA, 50 others cities in the US brought charges against priests for child molestation.
Harris brought ZERO.
NONE.
NADA!
This was just the most blatant abuse of power in her career -- to use it to not bring charges.

21) "Back On Track" was Harris's signature program as SD DA, designed to give 1st-time drug users & dealers a way to lower/avoid jail time, & wipe their record clean.
She claimed dramatic results. She quoted only 10% reoffended.
As it turns out, she cooked the books.

23) As CA AG, she continued her pattern of selective prosecution.
She married a very successful lawyer who had clients with myriad matters before the CA AG. Big companies. Like GNC, Advocare, Herbalife, etc.
Would you believe she was very soft on these clients?

24) The Podesta Group, representing Herbalife as lobbyists, threw Harris a huge fundraiser for her.
Unsurprisingly, no CA prosecution of Herbalife, even though the Feds won a ($200M) settlement, as did other states.
But not CA.
No conflict there, right?

25) She was also involved with hospitals run by the Sisters of Charity.
They ran into financial issues & had to sell.
They got a great offer from Prime Healthcare for $843M, the best bid for many reasons. They had a track record of saving poor-performing hospitals.

26) SEIU did not like Prime Healthcare. They wanted the deal squelched because Prime worked really well with all unions instead of SEIU. SEIU was a highly corrupt union organization that dabbled in extortion.

27) Harris worked to kill the deal. And, also got millions in campaign donations from SEIU & PACs run by SEIU.
Harris forced the deal to a management firm with close ties to the Democrat party & unions. The CEO & his wife donate millions to Democrats.
