When Kamala Harris was SF DA, one of her top deputies regularly rounded the office urging prosecutors to stop by Harris' fundraisers for re-election to donate and/or volunteer. One of them told me she was told it would be good for her career to contribute. Message was clear.
While Harris was the DA in San Francisco, the supervisor in one of the criminal units was a no-show who literally phoned it in from San Diego, filling out fake time sheets from there where his boyfriend was. This went on for years, only ending under George Gascon's tenure.
Another prosecutor in Kamala Harris' DA office told me that the office, as policy, did not allege prior crime "strikes" in indictments as is routinely done in other counties such as the one where the deputy DA had come from. This DDA was criticized for alleging strikes; only supervisors were allowed to authorize this and it was rarely done, yet another way Harris went soft on crime.
What does it mean when you don't allege strikes? it means that a career criminal, a violent criminal, who commits multiple crimes gets two years instead of 25 to life. The prosecutor complained about this internally but it went nowhere.
When Kamala Harris became the DA after violating the campaign finance limits to out-raise and outspend her former boss, who did obey the limits, she immediately sent out mass "let's make a deal" letters to every defense lawyer with a pending murder case. These cases were almost all pled out to manslaughter or even lesser charges, and then Harris claimed these as convictions on murder cases for her closure rate. This is unheard of and set a tone of defense lawyers not taking her office seriously.
Kamala Harris’ incompetence got two
gang violence witnesses killed, by housing them just across county lines.
The bad guys found and killed them, the cases then fell apart. And scared witnesses then refused to testify against more bad guys. Rinse and repeat. Image

The Harris DA office’s “lack of conviction” was a widely known joke in CA law enforcement circles. And everyone — especially the criminals — knew and exploited it. Image

Kamala Harris manipulated the stats as DA by charging only cases that were “trial ready” in the first place — an absurd metric as most cases are built up after charging on a probable cause basis. Even so, her conviction rate was a joke. Image

💔 The love of my life, my soulmate, my heart, Sarvjit Singh Randhawa left this world today after a long struggle with Parkinson’s and cancer. He passed away peacefully with his son and I holding his hands. He gave me a joyous life ever since we met, and I will always love him.

To all the friends and family who met Sarv & were uplifted by his deep, infectious laughter, thank you for the support you gave us over the last two years of increasing challenges. The unfailing kindness and generosity helped ease the transition. I’ll never forget it.
Sarv had an amazing life—worked his way through college as a miner, timber worker, nautical draftsman, technical
writer. Started nuclear power plants as a nuclear engineer. Owned a folk music club in Berkeley. Avid sailor and clawhammer banjo player. Loved 🇺🇸 and we thanked God every day for bringing us here and bringing us together. Sarv and I met later in life but it was the best 16 years of our lives. I want to remember him in all those happy moments as well as his courage, good humor, and dignity at the end. 💔Image

🧵New Op-Ed on @thehill: At every step of her career, @KamalaHarris has proven that the most dangerous place for a constitutional norm to be is standing between Harris and her political ambitions…

See highlights below:

thehill.com/opinion/479745…
Harris received the dishonor of being named the “most progressive DA” in California – in other words, Kamala Harris was the most far-left prosecutor in the most liberal state. Harris’ sanctuary city policies enabled Edwin Ramos, for example, to murder a father and his two sons.
As D.A., Harris was the worst of both worlds: A soft-on-crime progressive prosecutor who failed to keep her city safe, and who looked the other way when it came to ethics and public integrity.

I find it fascinating that Republican senators are willing to go to bat to impose a nationwide IVF standard or else forfeit federal Medicaid funds, but they won’t take a similar stand on citizen-only voting, tying that to federal funding for voting. Why is that? Both are popular.
I think reason is that Dems are fearmongering on IVF so it’s an election hedge (even though generally Rs should oppose federalizing stuff) but there’s no corresponding money on the right to highlight risks of noncitizen voting so 🤷🏽‍♀️. But we lose our country if noncitizens vote.
Republicans congressmen apparently also DGAF about state and federal government censorship of private speech through social media proxies because they have done diddly squat to fix judicial expansion of CDA 230 immunity or to fix the censorship itself.

My GOODNESS, look at all the lawyer acts, some might even say predicate acts, committed by election-denying attorney Mark Elias in Iowa in 2021, claiming vote counts were wrong, "finding" extra votes... urging the legislature to flip the outcome... 🫨🤯dailycaller.com/2021/03/22/mar…
What Marc Elias did in Iowa in 2020/2021 is something for which President Trump, his lawyers, and followers, are being indicted. And what top Democrat lawyers including David Boies, did in 2000. Not to mention the Russia collusion hoax. Should Iowa indict Elias for election work?
What should Iowa prosecutors do?

My friend and client @TuckerCarlson will not be silenced — by the far left or by Fox News. Scoop: Fox sends Tucker Carlson cease-and-desist letter axios.com/2023/06/12/fox…
For all the friends who have been asking “why don’t we see you on Fox anymore?” — This is why. I am passionately committed to free speech and a free flow of information necessary for a free society. Until Fox stops trying to silence Tucker, it’s not a place for me. And I feel for… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
