While the Democrats work at quietly deflecting the nation’s attention from their senile soon-to-be-nominee, the media would seem to be working hard on keeping anyone from digging too hard into Kamala Harris’s past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With good reason<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her decade-and-a-half tenure as a chief prosecutor, Harris would fail to prosecute a single case of priest abuse and her office would strangely hide vital records on abuses that had occurred, despite the protests of victims\u2019 groups.<\/p>

Harris\u2019s predecessor as San Francisco district attorney, Terence Hallinan, was aware of and had prosecuted numerous Catholic priests on sexual misconduct involving children. And he had been gathering case files for even more\u2026 Hallinan\u2019s office had launched an investigation and quickly discovered that the San Francisco Archdiocese had extensive internal records concerning complaints going back some seventy-five years. In spring of 2002, Hallinan demanded the church turn them over to his office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Now, there were reasons for this – some of them legal…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…and some of them apparently, er, convenience<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…many of the cases were past what had been the statute of limitations. And just as the cases were heating up, the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturned a 1994 California law that retroactively eliminated the statute of limitations for sexual abuse cases. So instead of criminal prosecution for the older cases, Hallinan was forced to change his strategy. He wanted to hold the offenders accountable by releasing the clergy abuse files to the public and aiding the victims in civil cases.<\/p>

But then Terence Hallinan made a big mistake. He lost his reelection bid to Kamala Harris. Of course, she had a little help from the local Catholic organizations that were freaking out over the prospect for Hallinan releasing the documents and helping the abuse victims.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The media’s job is covering stories about Democrats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a pillow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
