California Attorney General Kamala Harris looks foolish today. She’s reduced to arguing that she had no idea that her office went into court and argued that they could not comply with a court order to reduce the prison population because they needed the cheap labor to combat wildfires.
“I will be very candid with you, because I saw that article this morning, and I was shocked, and I’m looking into it to see if the way it was characterized in the paper is actually how it occurred in court,” Harris told BuzzFeed News in an interview Monday. “I was very troubled by what I read. I just need to find out what did we actually say in court.”
I actually believe that she is being candid and that she did learn about what her lieutenants had done by reading it in the paper. But, unless she fires them, I won’t believe that she actually disapproves.
