Kamala Harris may no longer hold office, but she’s clearly clinging to the political spotlight—with a microphone in one hand and a copy of her flailing memoir 107 Days in the other. And now, in what’s become a signature move, the former vice president is once again doing what Democrats accused Trump of for years: undermining public trust in institutions for personal and political gain.
Appearing on MSNBC’s The Weekend, Harris leveled an eyebrow-raising accusation: “I don’t know if we can trust what’s coming out of the Department of Justice right now.” Her justification? The recent indictments of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James—two deeply partisan figures who, for years, led the charge against Trump from within and outside of government.
According to Harris, these prosecutions amount to a “vengeance campaign” and demonstrate that Trump is “manipulating the justice system” for political retaliation. But let’s be honest—this is rich coming from someone who spent the Trump years cheering on indictments, leaks, and investigations with all the nuance of a Twitter mob.
Let’s rewind: the same Kamala Harris who once declared she would direct the DOJ to prosecute Trump if elected president is now decrying political interference? The same Harris who stood silent while the FBI altered FISA warrants, who defended the DOJ’s raid on a sitting president’s residence, and who praised Letitia James while she ran a campaign promising to “get Trump”? Now we’re supposed to believe she’s concerned about the integrity of justice?
The irony is almost too thick to cut.
Her argument falls apart under even modest scrutiny. The Comey indictment is reportedly tied to clear abuses of authority during his tenure—abuses that were confirmed by multiple oversight reports. Letitia James, meanwhile, is entangled in allegations of ethical misconduct and abuse of office for using her legal authority to pursue political vendettas under the guise of “justice.”
Yet Harris isn’t criticizing the facts—she’s preemptively attacking the source: the Justice Department under President Trump. Never mind that she offered no specifics. No evidence. No rebuttal to the actual charges. Just vague innuendo and a message tailored for cable-news clicks and book-tour applause.
But she didn’t stop there. She trotted out the now-tired accusation that the justice system under Trump is targeting people “because of who they are, or what they look like.” It’s an old trick: if the facts aren’t on your side, just imply discrimination. Voters are starting to see through it—and fast.
And then there’s the profanity-laced commentary that’s become her new normal. Last week in Los Angeles, Harris referred to members of the Trump administration as “crazy motherf—ers.” Classy. Presidential. The kind of language that once got headlines for comedians now comes standard from former vice presidents promoting ghostwritten memoirs.
In reality, Harris’s unhinged rhetoric tells us more about her political desperation than about any supposed corruption within the DOJ. She’s not issuing warnings—she’s projecting. Democrats once built their brand on “defending institutions.” Now, when those institutions no longer serve their narrative, they dismiss them as corrupted.
What Harris revealed Sunday isn’t just poor judgment. It’s the Democratic playbook: trust the system only when it benefits us. Undermine it the moment it doesn’t.
