Black Lives Matter Bail fund promoted by Kamala Harris won't share records of alleged criminals it sprung from jail

A bail fund promoted by Vice President-elect Kamala Harris that reportedly helped bail out several accused and convicted criminals — at least one with a markedly violent history — is refusing to share the records of the individuals it helped spring from jail in the midst of last year's deadly Black Lives Matter-led riots in Minnesota.

In June 2020, as violent unrest swept the country in the wake of Minneapolis resident George Floyd's death at the hands of city police, Harris — then two months away from being chosen as Joe Biden's running mate — tweeted out a link to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which claims to "pa[y] criminal bail and immigration bonds for those who cannot otherwise afford to."

Harris's support for the organization amid the riots last year was one of the factors that helped the Minnesota Freedom Fund realize a reported windfall of tens of millions of dollars, a gargantuan increase over the group's 2018 returns of around $100,000.

Yet the bail fund was mired in controversy over the summer due to reports that it had helped spring from jail multiple alleged violent criminals, including at least one individual with multiple rape convictions on his rap sheet.

A review by the Washington Post found that MFF helped bail out of jail one individual who allegedly shot at police officers during riots in Minnesota.

Local Fox affiliate KMSP, meanwhile, found that among those who received bail money from the MFF were also "a woman accused of killing a friend [and] a twice convicted sex offender."

Matt Gaetz is right. For months Democrats encouraged and defended BLM and Antifa violence. Hell, Kamala Harris tweeted out for donations to a bail fund for rioters.

Isn’t that part of the open records act. If they thought they had grounds to demand Trumps tax records then sure participating in covert attempts to fascilitate the overthrow of our country via blm and antify should be revealed.

No transparency. Does the organization pay taxes, or is it one of those tax exempt money laundering set-ups?

How many people put more black people in jail than Kamala Harris? She must be in the top five. Could be number one.

Let’s hope one of those bailed out perps were arrested inside the Capitol. That would be like Santa coming down the chimney with my favorite toy :)

It’s not like they’d get fired or something, if they had jobs.
