This whole thing about Kamala Harris and the Catholic Church is an obvious hit job.

26. Then show me a case NOT involving the Catholic church where a prosecutor decides not to prosecute

but instead hands over his investigation records to private attorneys for their use in bringing a civil claim.

Here is the Exemption to the CA Public Records Act that pertains here:

EXEMPTION FOR INVESTIGATIVE RECORDS AND INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION (Gov. Code, § 6254(f))

A. Investigative Records

Records of complaints, preliminary inquiries to determine if a crime has been committed, and full-scale investigations, as well as closure memoranda are investigative records.48 In addition, records that are not inherently investigatory may be covered by the exemption where they pertain to an enforcement proceeding that has become concrete and definite.49

Investigative and security records created for law enforcement, correctional or licensing purposes also are covered by the exemption from disclosure. The term “law enforcement” agency refers to traditional criminal law enforcement agencies.50 Records created in connection with administrative investigations unrelated to licensing are not subject to the exemption. The exemption is permanent and does not terminate once the investigation has been completed.51
