Highlight:

This whole thing about Kamala Harris and the Catholic Church is an obvious hit job. [View all] pnwmom Jun 2019 OP

The only thing I know about the law is from TV shows, but it's obviously a hit job. betsuni Jun 2019 #1

A hit job dating back to 2010? RHMerriman Jun 2019 #2

The current flurry of stories about it is. n/t pnwmom Jun 2019 #4

That seems ... "hurtful"... RHMerriman Jun 2019 #7

No, it's a crock. It was then and it is now. pnwmom Jun 2019 #9

California Public Records Act RHMerriman Jun 2019 #12

That same act includes an exemption for law enforcement investigative records. pnwmom Jun 2019 #18

They are not however required to use said exemption and often don't. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #37

Show me cases where they haven't. There's a reason for this exemption. pnwmom Jun 2019 #50

Pretty sure you are backing up the argument against Harris. SouthernProgressive Jun 2019 #48

If it's optional, please give me one example, using the whole Internet. nt pnwmom Jun 2019 #51

Example of what? SouthernProgressive Jun 2019 #52

An example of when a prosecutor made public or gave to a private attorney pnwmom Jun 2019 #55

It doesn't fit the narrative some are trying to spin. lapucelle Jun 2019 #54

Did you notice the list of exceptions to that exception? sl8 Jun 2019 #72

Yeah, I saw it. I read it again and I still don't see anything that would change pnwmom Jun 2019 #74

You can defend Harris's decision and argue with the opinions reported in the news stories, but emmaverybo Jun 2019 #16

I'm saying that the issue is a crock. They're attacking Harris for following normal procedure. pnwmom Jun 2019 #19

Oh, o.k. Thanks for clarifying. Some believe prosecutors all over the US are politically cowed emmaverybo Jun 2019 #25

Then show me a case NOT involving the Catholic church where a prosecutor decides not to prosecute pnwmom Jun 2019 #26

Hm. I don't know really. I am sure we will hear more. The Birthers are attacking her so you emmaverybo Jun 2019 #27

What about the charges that she withheld vital information from defendents? I had not idea. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #28

That opinion piece is problematic, to say the least. lapucelle Jun 2019 #58

Do you have a link to the AP story? N/T lapucelle Jun 2019 #57

She did not decide not to prosecute...the Supreme court ruled and prosecution was not possible... Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #32

Akin to the current flurry of stories about public policy choices in the 1970s? RHMerriman Jun 2019 #64

Harris was seen as the one to watch in 2010 SleeplessinSoCal Jun 2019 #15

Sec. Clinton and Vice President Biden were seen as the ones to watch. RHMerriman Jun 2019 #62

so you ARE ok with talking about the past qazplm135 Jun 2019 #53

Be great if she was talking about Trump's past, wouldn't it? RHMerriman Jun 2019 #61

lol qazplm135 Jun 2019 #63

Fragile - like the little girl who grew up a legacy of two Phds? RHMerriman Jun 2019 #65

boy she really left a mark on you didn't she? qazplm135 Jun 2019 #68

Doing Trump's work for him? RHMerriman Jun 2019 #70

yawn qazplm135 Jun 2019 #71

And your personal example of such, friend? RHMerriman Jun 2019 #73

not getting the vapors qazplm135 Jun 2019 #75

Having a candidate that doesn't knife her fellow Democrats puts me ahead of you... RHMerriman Jun 2019 #77

lol qazplm135 Jul 2019 #96

No problem, comrade ... knife the enemy ... not your allies. RHMerriman Jul 2019 #97

Maybe you should Andy823 Jun 2019 #66

I'm not running for president... RHMerriman Jun 2019 #67

It's an attack by Trump, Biden or maybe both. gldstwmn Jun 2019 #3

It's Not a hit job from Biden.. this is from Biden Cha Jun 2019 #8

I think it's Trumpers. n/t pnwmom Jun 2019 #20

I think so too mcar Jun 2019 #40

And accusing Biden of protecting racists was for the common good? RHMerriman Jun 2019 #13

Looks like it was "hurtful" to someone's campaign. n/t MarcA Jun 2019 #56

Just think if she used the same tactics on Trump... RHMerriman Jun 2019 #60

Why would Biden attack Harris in 2010? And Trump was not the president then. If the more emmaverybo Jun 2019 #14

I think that attorney was attacking Harris because he thought it might work. pnwmom Jun 2019 #21

What attorney? Thought what might work? Yeah, maybe Trump had a hand in the AP story, but emmaverybo Jun 2019 #23

The attorney who was trying to get Harris to hand over public investigative records pnwmom Jun 2019 #24

It is clear that the diocese would provide no records and she know this. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #36

With her history as a prosecutor,she is not a threat but a liability in my opinion. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #29

Well many here think her attacks on Biden were scummy and we were told...why you should expect this. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #33

Maybe we can see the problem with negative campaigning now? treestar Jun 2019 #44

It's a hit job, although I doubt from the right tishaLA Jun 2019 #5

So from the left. Cha Jun 2019 #11

No offense, pwnmom ... I think you should read this ... mr_lebowski Jun 2019 #6

Hallinan is bitter that he was defeated by her, so he has an axe to grind. pnwmom Jun 2019 #10

Her time as AG will be questioned. This and other stories have been on the Internet for months Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #17

This is the one that shocked and surprised me. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #31

This might be an unpopular stance but here's mine...I DON'T CARE. nt UniteFightBack Jun 2019 #22

This is not a hit job but perhaps overdue vetting brought on by the Biden attacks. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #30

I can hardly believe the hypocrisy treestar Jun 2019 #43

It's politics, like the busing crap. IluvPitties Jun 2019 #34

Isn't this the argument Trump makes with his executive privilege and all? Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #35

Both the California act and the FOIA have an exemption for prosecution investigation materials pnwmom Jun 2019 #49

Well... Chitown Kev Jun 2019 #38

Smells like Berners to me, the first major RECENT dredging up was on June 9th by The Intercept Celerity Jun 2019 #41

It's her turn in the barrel already? treestar Jun 2019 #42

She shouldn't apologize. She should educate. Our system of justice is built on fair trials. pnwmom Jun 2019 #47

Victims of priests treestar Jun 2019 #69

No, the story originated with attorneys representing abuse victims. highplainsdem Jun 2019 #45

But the new flurry is coming from Trumpers, I think -- that and people pnwmom Jun 2019 #46

This message was self-deleted by its author crazytown Jul 2019 #91

Yeah, it does appear that The Intercept was the first to dredge this old story up. pnwmom Jul 2019 #92

Deleted reply was meant to be an email crazytown Jul 2019 #93

No problem! pnwmom Jul 2019 #95

I'm more concerned about her arguing to uphold all those convictions in California madville Jun 2019 #59

It's been pretty clear the last few days that she has scared the shit out of somebody EffieBlack Jun 2019 #76

I want to live in a country where politics don't determine whether or not we help abuse victims. 58Sunliner Jun 2019 #78

No, it's not politics that kept her from releasing the documents. It was the opposite of politics. pnwmom Jun 2019 #79

Regardless, under Kamala Harris, not one case against a pedophile priest was ever prosecuted. Did emmaverybo Jun 2019 #80

The statute of limitations was what prevented them. There was a decision by the Supreme Court pnwmom Jun 2019 #81

Well, since Harris won't release files, some of which might contain complaints she could have emmaverybo Jun 2019 #82

You would know for the same reason we've heard of lots of cases -- because the victims pnwmom Jun 2019 #83

Well do you honestly think they could all afford lawyers? Her office would have provided legal emmaverybo Jun 2019 #85

They also could have seen articles, since there were many. Reporters are free. pnwmom Jun 2019 #86

Who knows? She did not prosecute. NT emmaverybo Jul 2019 #87

So you're just theorizing that there could have been cases in the 6 years she was there. pnwmom Jul 2019 #88

I remarked on it as did the article I alluded to. I don't know if any were. Her record will be emmaverybo Jul 2019 #89
