Legal Group Launches Several Investigations Focusing On Kamala Harris’ Record, Use Of Campaign Funds

America First Legal, a nonprofit conservative legal watchdog group, launched seven separate investigations into Vice President Kamala Harris’ prosecutorial background on Thursday.

“A lot of her tough on crime reputation goes to her prosecution when she was San Francisco DA, individuals who use marijuana and other sorts of things,” AFL President Dan Epstein said in a statement to Fox News.  “Our investigation, however, makes it very clear that Kamala Harris does not believe much in terms of statutes passed by legislatures, including the Federal United States, Congress, as well as the state of California.”

AFL has submitted a number of records requests to the California Attorney General’s Office as part of its investigations. The group is probing the vice president for failure to comply with federal donor privacy laws; failure to enforce federal immigration laws; failure to pursue equal justice; failure to disclose conflicts of interest; failure to address evidence of misconduct; the nature of probes by the California Fair Practices Commission; and potential cover-up of misconduct evidence.

“And so those are really our probes of her not following the rule of law and bending it for a political objective,” Epstein said. “We also probe numerous kind of potential ethics issues and failures to disclose conflicts of interest, allowing her own staff as attorney general to engage in fraud and not kind of overseeing that.”

One aspect of the group’s probe focuses on Harris’ relationship with California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, who reportedly helped her secure influential positions at the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and the California Medical Assistance Commission. AFL is investigating whether Harris benefitted from political favoritism, as well as whether she properly recused herself from dealing with conflicts of interest.

The group is also focusing on then-candidate Harris’ efforts to bail out violent Black Lives Matter rioters in 2020. Harris promoted a bail fund that raised $41 million to spring rioters — some of whom went on to commit serious crimes upon release — though only a fraction of the funds raised were used for their stated purpose of freeing rioters.

“It’s fairly clear that nobody disagrees, nobody disagrees that Trump is a felon because of political prosecution,” Epstein told Fox News. “And if the standard for Kamala Harris is that the process that led to Donald Trump being convicted is one of justice and one that she follows, then logically, it means that she is a political prosecutor, not a fair honest broker.”

As part of its seven separate investigations, America First Legal is also requesting information relating to Harris’ failure to enforce federal immigration law. “As California Attorney General, Kamala Harris interfered with the enforcement of federal immigration laws—even defending San Francisco’s sanctuary-city ordinance and opposing California’s participation in the federal Secure Communities program (a program that enabled ICE to deport criminal aliens from local communities).” the group wrote in a press release.

In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, Harris stated, “What needs to be looked at . . . is comprehensive immigration reform . . . Immigration policy in our country has to be reformed, and it has to be based on the fact that we have 11 million undocumented in this country—and California has the largest numbers of undocumented, in excess of 2 million people. In California, one in two Californians was born outside the United States or has a parent born outside the U.S.—including myself.”
