Buffalo_Gal Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 On 12/6/2018 at 3:20 PM, Buffalo_Gal said: Will it hurt her? Kamala Harris aide resigns after harassment, retaliation settlement surfaces A longtime top staff member of U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris resigned Wednesday after The Sacramento Bee inquired about a $400,000 harassment and retaliation settlement resulting from his time working for Harris at the California Department of Justice. Larry Wallace, who served as the director of the Division of Law Enforcement under then-Attorney General Harris, was accused by his former executive assistant in December 2016 of “gender harassment” and other demeaning behavior, including frequently asking her to crawl under his desk to change the paper in his printer. The lawsuit was filed on Dec. 30, 2016, when Harris was still attorney general but preparing to be sworn in as California’s newly elected Democratic senator. It was settled less than five months later, in May 2017, by Xavier Becerra, who was appointed to replace her as attorney general. By that time, Wallace had transitioned to work for Harris as a senior advisor in her Sacramento office. </snip> The Sacramento Bee's ("leans" left) Editorial Board doesn't believe she didn't know (if you read the beginning of the article, they do more than "lean"):At minimum, Harris should’ve known key staff member was accused of harassment </snip> There are only a few possible interpretations here, and they are unpleasant. Wallace wasn’t out on the periphery of Harris’ staff; he was a senior aide she knew for 14 years — hardly a stranger. For Harris to flatly deny any knowledge of this settlement seems, shall we say, far-fetched. For the moment, let’s take her at her word. A second and equally troubling interpretation is that Harris isn’t a terribly good manager, and that her staff was insulating her from information critical to the performance of her duties. This is hardly a propitious beginning to a presidential candidacy. Harris’ handling of this matter is eerily reminiscent of a 2010 case during her tenure as district attorney, where a judge rebuked her office for hiding problems in the drug analysis section of the San Francisco police crime lab. </snip> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beto would be well served to have a good showing running for VP, especially since Democrats don't currently have anyone who is going to beat Trump. Get him the national exposure and buff up his credentials for an actual run in 2024 when the field is wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Comey calls on Americans to 'use every breath we have' to oust Trump in 2020 Former FBI Director James Comey asked American voters Sunday night to end Donald Trump's presidency with a "landslide" victory for his opponent in 2020. "All of us should use every breath we have to make sure the lies stop on January 20, 2021," Comey told an audience at the 92nd Street Y on New York City's Upper East Side. He all but begged Democrats to set aside their ideological differences and nominate the person best suited to defeating Trump in an election. "I understand the Democrats have important debates now over who their candidate should be," Comey told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, "but they have to win. They have to win." https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/09/politics/james-comey-donald-trump-2020/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
