    video from Project Veritas … was essential to prosecutors’ case.

    Talk about a huge red flag.

    This is from 2017. Nothing to do with the January 6th insurrection.

      It’s crazy that it has taken until 2024 for any kind of accountability process to get started

    Protesters were arrested after police trapped them in a “kettle” after some people smashed windows, destroyed a limousine and threw objects at officers during a demonstration against the incoming president.

    Kettling just makes everything worse.

    And cops arrested and charged people based on what they were wearing…

    The government adopted the extraordinary tactic of charging hundreds of people arrested on a public street with felony crimes based on the theory that their choice of black clothing meant they were part of a felony rioting conspiracy.

      I don’t see how this is pro Trump. It’s an article about how Trump’s DOJ did unethical things when prosecuting the people protesting Trump’s inauguration.

      She was never a federal prosecutor. She has never been accused of this kind of “behavior”.

          She was hard on crime prosecutor… i don’t have access to her body work to provide you with evidence of misconduct.

          But tough on crime prosecutor are notorious locking people up for juicing the numbers. People can can make up their own minds.

          But here is an example of this behavior:

          Harris also failed to hold police and prosecutors accountable for misconduct. In Orange County, where a sprawling jailhouse informant scandal has robbed countless people of their right to a fair trial, her lack of meaningful oversight has contributed to a crisis of legitimacy that continues to upend the county’s criminal justice system.

          In March 2010, just as Harris was campaigning to become California’s attorney general, San Francisco authorities shut down a police department crime lab in the city’s Hunters Point naval yard. A technician named Deborah Madden was accused of skimming drugs, raising broader questions about the lab’s ability to appropriately handle evidence in criminal cases. (Madden later pleaded guilty).

          Harris immediately dismissed 20 drug cases, but the number eventually grew to over 1,500 after documents showed that prosecutors within Harris’ office had known about Madden’s potential unreliability months before the lab was closed, but had neglected to tell defense attorneys.

          A superior court judge later excoriated Harris’ office, writing that the violations infringed on the defendants’ constitutional rights.

          Afterward, Harris formed a unit to handle the sharing of evidence with criminal defense attorneys. She has also said that she did not know about the problems at the crime lab until after the scandal blew up.

            Your example says she didn’t know about someone else’s misconduct and then took appropriate action afterward…

              Part of being a “leader” is to know…

              Are we still larping the koolaid that top guy did not know, it is the intern’s fault?

              Either nature of being a prosecutor creates incentives for people to behave in their political self interest first. Prosecutors have no moral compass.

              I don’t think that makes her any less qualified for president vis-a-vis the line up tho, we aint getting the best America has to offer either way.

              But she will be easy to attack on these issues because nobody like the prosecutor once they know how they operate.
