This whole thing about Kamala Harris and the Catholic Church is an obvious hit job. [View all]
Where did it originate? With rightwing sources that quickly fed it to places like the AP.
If you think it's NORMAL for prosecutors to hand over investigative materials on subjects or targets who were never prosecuted, then please explain why, after decades of similar accusations, more prosecutors haven't turned over their files to attorneys handling civil lawsuits. Instead, the attorneys for the plaintiffs have been getting information released by Grand Juries (post indictment) and from the Dioceses themselves.
Why is Kamala Harris the only (former) prosecutor being attacked for keeping investigation records of unindicted people confidential? It's NOT because prosecutors have all been handing over files on people they decided not to prosecute.
James Comey was the exception, the heavily criticized exception, when he released information about Hillary even though they'd decided not to prosecute her. What Kamala Harris did is standard procedure.
Do you really want to live in a police state? Can't you see the risk here? If this were the common practice, then every time a prosecutor couldn't get a conviction of guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, he'd simply hand the case over to a civil attorney, who could litigate a case developed with all the resources of the state and win it by the civil standard: only a preponderance of the evidence -- 51%. Does that seem like a good idea to you?
