In reply to the discussion: Gabbard rips into Harris for her record on marijuana prosecutions and death penalty [View all]emmaverybo
(8,146 posts)38. She did not bring up the worst ethical lapse, which was that Harris as SF's DA knew the woman
in charge of evidence in over 100 cases was exposed as a drug addict and drug thief who fudged records and made numerous mistakes handling evidence. Harris knew this, but did not tell defense attorneys until forced to do so. 600 cases had to be dismissed.
Now this conduct was recent and is well documented.
Despite the source, Harris needs to answer to her record. And it is not as though she has so many
positive accomplishments on the other side of the ledger that any of this can be overlooked.

OP
Sanders/Steins/Trumps has an issue with Harris, thinking she is stronger that what we are seeing

As far as I know Sanders, or his supporters like me have no issue with Harris.

Agreed. Harris' lack of defense was more problematic for me than Gabbard's attack. (nt)

It's fortunate that Tulsi has at least one defender ready, willing and able to join DU just in time

I'm sure a few of the shots were but they were effective. The good thing is is that nobody will
