Harris Now Accused of ‘More Serious’ Theft

Kamala Harris is a thief. She isn’t using the handgun she carries around in her purse to commit armed robbery but she’s not innocent either. Kamala doesn’t think twice about committing petty intellectual property theft. Her handlers thought they could diffuse the controversy with some quick misdirection. They got caught.

Harris stole even more

The charge of plagiarism against Kamala Harris may stick, after all. She thought her handlers had that beat. They had an expert write a report saying what she did was casual enough to get away with. The clean up crew left a mess behind.

After Kamala thought she was in the clear, the expert learned he’d been deceived. Jonathan Bailey was upset enough about it to go public with the whole story.

On Monday, October 14, Harris was “accused of plagiarizing several sections of her book on crime.” She took credit for “a story once told by Martin Luther King Jr.,” for starters.

For damage control, Kamala’s spin doctors turned to the New York Times. The loyal Democrat rag “downplayed the story.” They shifted the attack back on “the conservative academic Christopher Rufo, who brought it to light.

Republicans instantly noticed that they were obviously giving Kamala a pass by not digging into the accusations. The Times paid “plagiarism expert” Jonathan Bailey to write them a report. He looked at what they sent over and bizzed up a quick memo.

The extracts he saw were “an error and not an intent to defraud.” No big deal, really, he concluded. Harris didn’t do anything wrong. He wasn’t told the whole story to start with.

The clean up crew left a mess.

A full review

Democrats wasted no time getting Bailey’s assessment out to the press, blaming a right wing smear campaign for dragging out a book that’s been collecting dust so they could pick nits.

A spokesunit for Harris declared, “this is a book that’s been out for 15 years, and the vice-president clearly cited sources and statistics in footnotes and endnotes throughout.” The Times got away with the misinformation by noting “it was my ‘initial reaction‘ to those allegations, not a complete analysis,” Bailey relates.

At the time, I was unaware of a full dossier with additional allegations, which led some to accuse the New York Times of withholding that information from me.” They came close but he’s not getting a lawyer.

By Thursday, he wrote on his own blog “that he had only been given five examples of the alleged Harris plagiarism by the New York Times, and that he had not had a chance to review the full report accusing her of stealing passages from other sources.” He’s seen that material now. And revising his report.

The allegations are much more serious than he thought before. “Harris’s book contained roughly two paragraphs copied from Wikipedia without citation. To be clear, that is plagiarism. It’s compounded by the fact that Wikipedia is typically not seen as a reliable source, and, according to Weber, there was an error in the information.” Entire sections of her book turned out to be stolen.

Harris is a former prosecutor but she’s also one of the ones who believe that criminals shouldn’t be prosecuted. Only Republicans can be charged or sentenced. Democrats can simply ignore the law, like she does.
