I watched Kamala Harris' career bloom when I lived in California.

Her story starts with Terence Hallinan, who became the first defense attorney to become the District Attorney for the city of San Francisco. Hallinan immediately fired all the city prosecuting attorneys and began to move the DA's office from prosecuting criminals to going soft on defendants, eventually dropping to the lowest conviction rate of any city in the state.

Meanwhile, over in Oakland, Harris was the Deputy District Attorney. She was wooed by Hallinan's office to become the Managing Attorney in San Francisco. Harris eventually beat a scandal-ridden Hallinan to become the DA of San Francisco. Shortly after winning, a police officer in San Francisco was killed in the line of duty, and Harris announced that she would not be seeking the death penalty against the killer, refusing again after being implored by Dianne Feinstein from the pulpit at the officer's funeral.

In San Francisco, Harris restored some of the fallen conviction rate, but was still soft on felony convictions that required long jail time, often pleading to lesser charges. Also, she began a "hate crimes" unit in San Francisco that focused on crimes against gays.

Harris eventually ran for and won the Attorney General of California, and later won retiring Barbara Boxer's seat in the Senate.

IMHO she came off as a bitch.

She is one, always was one in local politics here in the SF Bay Area. A loudmouth without brains, she is an entitled one propped up by democrat bigwigs with money. They're coaching her and setting her up for higher office. Too bad she has no brains, and often trips over her own words. She must be prevented from moving up because she will be a nasty imbecile in any office.

She’s the female version of Obama, so she thinks she’ll get even more of a pass than that POS did

Praying this economy takes off and millions go back to work. Let’s see this bitch take that on, even with her voter fraud

FUH

This whole damn hearing is a farce. This whole damn investigation is a farce! Obama and Holder would've never put up with this bullshit!!! Holder would've given his middle finger if he were ever questioned like this.

All we're doing is giving the Democrats a chance to look strong and act like they're still in charge. Kamala Harris is going to look like a million bucks after today, --and she WILL be the 2020 Democratic nominee.

She was hostile from the start and beyond rude.....I was pleased when the 'chair' told her to let the man finish his sentences. She made a fool of herself but she is from CA after all!

A.G. Sessions was true to his roots, a Southern Gentleman who can take care of himself. We are pleased with President Trump's pick for A.G.....did you hear any innuendo coming from Sessions.....we heard Comey the "squeaky clean boy scout" use all sorts of innuendo............

“She’s laying the groundwork for a 2020 run.”

If she is, she needs to get a better plan. Most people will not want to vote for a nasty bitch.

She is not a natural born citizen, neither of her parents were citizens when she was born.

Obviously she will be the Democrat nominee in 2020.

And when she's elected President, birthers will have eight more years to stomp their feet over it.
