In fact, in July, Roll call predicted that Harris’s presidential campaign “will echo her time in the Senate, where she opposed (Trump) with a prosecutorial bent(,)” by “leveraging her experience as a California prosecutor and attorney general for her positions on criminal justice issues and an assertive courtroom style to create some of her biggest moments in the Senate, giving up with Trump administration officials. and nominees to make bigger points.”

More recently, Harris has sought to extend his “strongman” bona fide to controversial 60 minutes interview with Bill Whitaker stating, in response to why he owns a Glock, “My background is in law enforcement…“

One would assume that her statement of “law enforcement background” refers to the opening narrative for Law and order: “In the criminal justice system, people are represented by two separate but equally important groups: the police who investigate crimes and the prosecutors who prosecute criminals. These are their stories.“

Harris, who graduated from law school in 1989, though he did not pass the California bar exam until 1990was not inspired by Law and orderwhich began its 20-year operation that year. (In February 2022, it was renewed for a twenty-first year, which continues to this day.) Instead, according to Daily Mail reporter Charlie Spiering Amateur Hour: Kamala Harris at the White Houseit was the Hindu goddess culture that was “powerful in (her mother’s) household” that “inspired her to become a prosecutor”.

Indeed, Harris was “steeped in the Hindu tradition” and a “frequent visitor” to the Shiva Vishnu temple in Livermore, California, where, her mother reported, she “performed all the rituals and (said) all the prayers… ” , was Parvati, the benevolent goddess wife of the god Shiva who, when angry, transformed into the terrifying and vengeful goddess Kali, whose story she often heard as a child, motivated Harris’ career choice.

“Parvati and Kali can coexist in one woman” (a duality, it would seem) she related to an audience in 2004 to portray herself (in Spiering’s words) as “beautiful but deadly”. Until 2024, when Harris used “duality” in every interviewshe had long since abandoned talk of Parvati/Kali, her Indian heritage, or stories of Hindu goddesses.

What then, like Roll call she said in July, about her “experience as a California prosecutor and attorney general … and an assertive style in the courtroom.” Despite an exhaustive search, including numerous public records requests to his former employers and requests to the vice president and his campaign, former DOJ assistant attorney Jeff Clark has not discovered, identified or received any information, much less a single transcription. , to demonstrate Harris’ purported solid experience as a district attorney, city attorney, or attorney general.

In fact, similar to her claim that she “he made french fries” in McDonald’s, there is no evidence that Harris first “presided over” a civil or criminal court or jury trial, presented or cross-examined a witness, or made oral argument. At best, Harris did just nine civil or criminal cases over a 10-year period. In one, she saw prospective jurors in a criminal trial. Moreover, given the breadth of Westlaw’s record, it is clear that during her time as California attorney general, Harris never stood up for “the people” in a federal district court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for 9th Circuit or Supreme Court. .

Not even when, for example, as we discussed last monthHarris challenged the landmark ruling on freedom of association NAACP v. Alabama to the 9th Circuit in a case clearly intended for Supreme Court review argued the case. Not many lead lawyers turn down such an opportunity. Of course, I didn’t when one of the non-profit, public interest law firm civil rights cases I ran was reviewed three times by the high court, or in several situations where an award of certiorari seemed possible, like when I represented Bobby Unser.

Therefore, ROLLE Callhis the characterization of Harris’ “experience as a California prosecutor and attorney general” must be limited to her work in the office, including supervising attorneys who presented and rebutted evidence by witness and otherwise, briefed and argued cases, and took issues in call. In addition, ROLLE Callhis the reference to her “assertive courtroom style” needs to be reframed because Harris has never been in a courtroom. Her “assertive style…” manifested only at a microphone to manipulate her daily problem.

An assertive Harris, as San Francisco district attorney and candidate for California attorney general, boasted that he had assigned “my homicide prosecutors, my gang prosecutors,” she instructed, “look very bad,” when she charged parents of truant students under a law she championed as San Francisco’s district attorney. Harris became even more assertive about this as attorney general. In fact, in her inaugural speechshe threatened the parents with “full force and effect” of that law. Harris was a mother, however, when one of the unfortunate victims of her network was Cheree Peoples, a black mother of a sickle cell anemia daughter whose absence occurred while she was hospitalized..

In fact, when Peoples expressed her shock to the police when they arrived to arrest her, accompanied by the news media, she was told:Go talk to Kamala Harris.” People, forced to fight against California’s “top cops” and its hundreds of investigators, law enforcement officers and lawyers, she lost her job, her house and almost her daughter. finally, in August 2015, the charges against her were dismissed. However, until then, Harris was seven months into her Senate campaign.

In 2020, “mostly peaceful” protests and riots broke out across the country, resulting in “robberies, arson and vandalism”, $2 billion in property damage and at least six deaths following death of George Floyd on May 25. A protest led by, according to then-Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt, “people like Antifa,” took place between May 29 and June 3 in front of the White House in Lafayette Park, which falls under the jurisdiction of the US Park Police. Forty-nine policemen were injured.

At the time, I was running the Office of Land Management for former President Donald Trump from his new headquarters in Colorado. I feared for the safety of the BLM’s nearly 300 police and special agents because they have responsibilities, over 245 million acres of federal land, similar to the Park Police. On June 5, I gathered them in a virtual meeting, told them my concerns, urged them to pursue their higher training, including conflict de-escalation, and assured them that at the end of the day, “I have your back.” Longtime BLM employees, including Rangers, told me my assurances were unprecedented. I found them essential.

Imagine my horror less than two weeks later when on June 17, Harrisspeaking as “someone who made a very conscious decision to become a prosecutor” he told Stephen Colbert, “Everybody watch out because (the protesters) won’t stop… And they shouldn’t.”

If Harris wasn’t exactly putting her money where her mouth was, she was urging others, including her millions of followers on X, to do so by donating to the Minnesota Freedom Fund for the rescue.”those protesting on the ground in Minnesota.” Incredibly, she did it the day after the riots became historic St. John’s Episcopal Church burns down blocks from its office. Harris helped raise $35 million for the outfit, up from $100,000 in 2018, to rescue and defend hardened, violent and criminal criminals..

Despite the claims of Harris and her campaign or propaganda from Roll call, THE Hilland the corporate media, Harris has not earned the right to say he was in the “cops, a “top cop” or “a 20-year-old prosecutor” who has “tried just about every crime you can imagine”, much less possessed. of an “assertive courtroom style” or “a prosecutorial bent.” Like so much else about Harris, as another noted resident of Oakland, California, Gertrude Stein, said, “Exist not there.”

One more thing, as a fan of Law and orderI say: she is not John James McCoy.

William Perry Pendley, a Wyoming lawyer and Colorado public interest lawyer with three decades of Supreme Court victories, served in the Reagan administration and headed Trump’s Bureau of Land Management.
