Kamala Harris's $50,000 LAPD guards not her first corruption rodeo

California's Sen. Kamala Harris, the leftist Democratic presidential wannabe who got herself in the news after piously posturing against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, has now been caught with her hand in the till, traipsing around California with a Los Angeles Police Department bodyguard detail in tow, at a taxpayer-paid cost of nearly $50,000.

NBC4 of Los Angeles has the details: Armed, plain-clothes LAPD officers were dispatched to California cities outside of Los Angeles at least a dozen times to provide security for U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris at public events, media appearances, and a party. LA taxpayers paid for airline tickets, hotel stays, car rentals, and meals, according to detailed expense reports obtained by NBC News.

My Take - At one of my bar accounts I recently had a conversation with a gal about her old boss who would put a piece of paper of some item behind some curtain or other location to catch his staff not cleaning properly.  He was always acting like someone was taking advantage of him. I told her I'm willing to bet in the rest of his life he was the one taking advantage of everyone else.  She looked surprised and said he was always trying to stiff people.  In the real world those who are always accusing other of inappropriate behavior do so because they think everyone acts the way they do.  Kamala Harris, and Cory Booker are classic examples of corruption in their thinking and behavior, and are hardly qualified to criticize Kavanaugh.  The beauty of this is their behavior has put them under a spotlight, and just like a bug under a microscope with a hot light - they will find that's going to be an uncomforable place for them to be.
