Kamala Harris Plagiarized Pages of Congressional Testimony From a Republican Colleague. Plus, a Fictionalized Story About Human Trafficking.

A Washington Free Beacon review of Harris’s work finds instances of plagiarism extend beyond her book Smart on Crime

Aaron Sibarium October 22, 20241/3

On April 24, 2007, Kamala Harris testified before Congress in support of the John R. Justice Prosecutors and Defenders Incentive Act of 2007. The bill, which was introduced that year but never passed the upper chamber, would have created a student loan repayment program for state and local prosecutors, and Harris, then the district attorney of San Francisco, argued it would draw top legal talent to offices like hers.

In a written statement to the House Judiciary Committee, she described how debt-addled prosecutors often decamp to the private sector a few years into the job, lured by the prospect of higher pay that could be used to pay off law school debt. That dynamic had left many district attorneys' offices short-staffed, she said, forcing them to put rookie attorneys on complex cases.

"There are numerous criminal cases that are particularly difficult because of the dynamics involved," Harris wrote. "To name just a few—child abuse, elder neglect, domestic violence, identity theft and public corruption. The stakes are simply too high to allow any attorney other than experienced prosecutors to handle these matters."

By repaying the loans of prosecutors and public defenders, Harris argued, the bill, which had been introduced with bipartisan support, would provide an incentive for lawyers to enter public service, or at least diminish the incentive to leave it.

The statement was simple and pragmatic. But Harris wasn’t the first person to make it.

Virtually her entire testimony about the bill was taken from that of another district attorney, Paul Logli of Winnebago County, Illinois, who had testified in support of the legislation two months earlier before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Both statements cite the same surveys, use the same language, and make the same points in the same order, with a paragraph added here or there.They even contain the same typos, such as missing punctuation or mistaken plurals. One error—a "who" that should have been a "whom"—was corrected in Harris’s transposition.

The main difference between their testimonies is that Logli submitted his to the Senate instead of the House. And unlike Harris, Logli is a Republican.

Harris, who also testified about two other bills that day,devoted approximately 1,500 words to the John R. Justice Act. Nearly 1,200 of them—or 80 percent—were copied verbatim from the statement Logli submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee on February 27, 2007, two months before Harris delivered her testimony.

Logli did not respond to a request for comment.

The passages are some of the most striking cases in which Harris, a former senator and state attorney general, appears to have plagiarized in her capacity as a government official, lifting large chunks of texts from other attorneys—and in one case from Wikipedia—without attribution, according to a Washington Free Beacon review of her work.

The examples have not been previously reported and range from paragraphs to pages. Several appear in reports that Harris published as California attorney general, a post she held for six years and has made a centerpiece of her campaign.

"Being a state's top lawyer is a real responsibility," said O.H Skinner, Arizona’s former solicitor general. "It requires attention to detail. When you cannot bother to produce your own work, it says something about your approach to a job that demands the best from those in it."

With just two weeks to go until Election Day, the new examples could undercut key parts of the Harris campaign’s message as it navigates a tightening race. Harris has sought to portray herself as the candidate of honesty and integrity, in part by touting her record of prosecuting child sex crimes.

But as California attorney general,she didn’t just copy boilerplate language without attribution. In one of the lengthier passages reviewed by Free Beacon, she lifted a fictionalized story about a victim of sex trafficking—and presented it as a real case.

The story came from Polaris Project, a nonprofit that runs the National Human Trafficking Hotline. By June 2012, the project had posted a series of vignettes on its website that were "representative of the types of calls" the hotline receives and "meant for informational purposes only," according to an archived webpage. To preserve confidentiality, the project said, key details like "names, locations, and other identifying information" had been changed.

But in November 2012, Harris included one of those vignettes in a report she published on the state of human trafficking in California. Though she said that the story was "courtesy of" the hotline, she copied it verbatim and did not acknowledge that it contained fictionalized material.

The only detail she changed was the location. The Polaris Project described a young woman, "Kelly," who had been forced to engage in prostitution and was rescued by law enforcement in Washington, D.C. But in Harris’s telling, Kelly had conveniently been found in San Francisco.

The change effectively gave Harris credit for a rescue that never occurred, at least in her state, and reflects what Skinner, the former solicitor general, said was a common perception of Harris among legal officials at the time.

"She was never viewed in the Attorney General community as being an intellectual leader," he said. "It is very on-brand with that reputation to hear now that she was repackaging stories from other locations as though they happened in California."

The story from the hotline wasn’t a one-off. In a 2010 report on organized crime, Harris copied several passages from Bill Lockyer, one of her predecessors as California attorney general, without attribution.

And in a 2014 report on transnational gangs,she copied several sentences from Roger McDonough, a New York State judge, as well as McDonough’s footnotes.

The new examples add to the allegations of plagiarism published last week by conservative activist Christopher Rufo, which focused exclusively on Harris’s 2009 book Smart on Crime.

Experts who reviewed those allegations, including Jonathan Bailey of Plagiarism Today, argued that they comprised such a small portion of Harris’s work that sloppiness—not malice—seemed like the most plausible explanation for them, arguments that were quoted in the Washington Post and New York Times.

"You’d expect these to be more apparent throughout the book if this was malicious intent to plagiarize," Bailey told the Post. "Ultimately we’re talking about not very many words in a very long book, which to me means it’s more likely poor writing."

But a review of Harris’s oeuvre—including books, popular articles, congressional transcripts, and reports she authored as attorney general—found a more extensive pattern of plagiarism than has been previously reported. It spans five publications, including her sworn congressional testimony. And it comes after months of criticism, from both left and right, that the Harris campaign has few ideas of its own.

3/3

The plagiarism could become a potent symbol of that critique in the last days of a dead heat. In an article about Rufo’s allegations, the New York Times noted that "none of the passages in question took the ideas or thoughts of another writer."The new examples—in which Harris lifts pages of original material from other lawyers—undermine that defense and suggest that not all the passages were copied in error. Some contain tell-tale signs of intent, such as small tweaks in punctuation and the removal of minor details.

The symbolism could be especially resonant given that Logli, who has been donating to GOP candidates since 1994, is not the only Republican Harris has been accused of parroting.She endured a different sort of plagiarism scandal in August when she promised to eliminate taxes on tips—two months after her rival, Donald Trump, had promised to do the same.

"This was a TRUMP idea," Trump fumed on Truth Social at the time. "She has no ideas, she can only steal from me."

Also in August, J.D. Vance proposed boosting the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to $5,000. Five days later, Harris proposed boosting the credit to $6,000as part of her economic plan. Vance joked that it was only a matter of time before she put on a red tie and promised to make America great again.

Harris, who in 2019 supported taxpayer-funded gender transition surgeries for detained migrants, has also promised to build a border wall. The copycat character of her candidacy has caused even progressives to wonder if Harris, who had one of the most liberal voting records in the Senate, is a reliable ally at a time when polls show the public shifting right on social issues.

"The obvious question is, who exactly is Kamala Harris?" asked Branko Maretic in Jacobin magazine. "That’s a question she herself may have trouble answering."

In absolute terms, the plagiarized content makes up a small fraction of Harris’s work. And she is far from the only politician, in either party, with a propensity for copy and pasting.

Joe Biden, Rand Paul, Melania Trump, and Ben Carson have each endured their own plagiarism scandals. Like Harris, Carson was even accused of plagiarizing in Congressional testimony, though that allegation only involved two paragraphs, not 1,200 words.

All of those scandals received sustained media attention and were at times framed as synecdoches for a candidate’s shortcomings. When the Trump campaign denied, in 2016, that Melania Trump had plagiarized two paragraphs from Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic convention speech, a Vox "explainer" said the denials were "a testament to Trump’s character."

The Harris campaign has likewise denied that the allegations published last week are anything to write home about. "Rightwing operatives are getting desperate as they see the bipartisan coalition of support Vice President Harris is building to win this election, as Trump retreats to a conservative echo chamber refusing to face questions about his lies," a campaign spokesman, James Singer, told media outlets last week. "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 Harris campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

It is not unheard of for plagiarism scandals to sink presidential campaigns. In 1987, Joe Biden withdrew from the Democratic Party primary after he plagiarized a British politician in his closing statement at a debate.

Trump, Harris neck and neck as Dems lose ground among Latino, Black voters: pollFormer President Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris essentially tied, as Democrats squander Black and Latino vote

By Danielle Wallace Fox News Published October 21, 2024 9:18am EDT

Former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are neck and neck in recent polling as they enter the final leg of the presidential race, as the Democratic nominee appears to be losing ground among Latino and Black voters. A new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll places Harris at 45% and Trump at 44%.

In August, the same poll found that Harris was ahead of Trump 48% to 43% on the heels of the Democratic National Convention. The new survey released Monday questioned 1,000 likely voters by landline and cell phone from Oct. 14-18. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.Harris has fallen back in support among Latino and Black voters in the seven weeks between surveys. The new poll found Latino voters now back Trump by 49% to 38%. Black voters prefer Harris by 72% to 17%, but that 55-point edge is significantly less than the advantage Democrats traditionally enjoy.

For the subsamples of Latino and Black voters, the survey's margins of error are plus or minus 9 points, signaling possible repositioning of up to 18 points in one direction or the other. President Biden benefited from staggering support from Black and Latino voters four years ago. A Pew Research Center analysis found 92% of Black voters and 59% of Latino voters supported Biden in the 2020 race.

Trump has made inroads among Black and Latino voters in the 2024 race by courting men, as he campaigns on the economy and crime.

Observing the shift in Democrats' traditional edge, the Harris campaign unveiled an economic agenda for Black men last week. It promised small business loans and the legalization of recreational marijuana. Her campaign also ramped up events targeting Latino and Black voters in battleground states, and former President Barack Obama chastised Black men, claiming they could be hesitant to vote for a woman as president. In a separate poll conducted across seven battleground states, 47% of respondents said they would definitely or probably back Harris, while 47% said they would definitely or probably support Trump. According to the Washington Post-Schar School survey, 49% of likely voters support Harris, while 48% support Trump. (Of course they have to quote WAPO)

Pentagon suspects employee of Iranian origin in Israeli strike plan leak – report

Last week, two US intelligence documents reportedly disclosing Israel's plan for a potential retaliatory attack on Iran were leaked.

By REUTERS, JERUSALEM POST STAFFUpdated: OCTOBER 22, 2024

The Pentagon has reportedly named Chief of Staff of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations, Ariane Tabatabai, as the prime suspect for an alleged leak of classified documents, Sky News Arabia reported on Tuesday, citing a senior Pentagon official.

Tabatabai, an American of Iranian origin,is also an officer in US Naval Intelligence.

According to the report, members ofCongress wrote a letter in 2023to US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin against keeping Tabatabai in her position.

The members of Congressurged Secretary Austin to “immediately suspend Tabatabai’s security clearance pending further review, as the State Department did with his former supervisor, Robert Malley," the report stated.

The FBI has also begun investigating the leak of a pair of highly classified intelligence documents describing Israel's preparations for a retaliatory strike on Iran, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

"The FBI is investigating the alleged leak of classified documents and working closely with our partners in the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community," the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement cited by the Washington Post. “As this is an ongoing investigation, we have no further comment,” the statement further read.

Last week, two US intelligence documents reportedly disclosing Israel's plan for a potential retaliatory attack on Iran were leaked and disseminated on a Telegram channel.

The channel claimed it had received the documents via a source within the US intelligence community.

US investigating incident

Following the leak, the US said it was investigating the incident, which House Speaker Mike Johnson characterized as "very concerning." (Johnson is so boring, and subdued)

Israel said it would respond to Iran's October 1 attack, which saw the Islamic Republic launch some 180 ballistic missiles at Israel.

https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-825701

I hope Austin gets court marshalled for all he's done to the military, him and Q Brown, have destroyed it, and now they've knowingly allowed spies in the Pentagon, closest to the top. I don't doubt they did this on purpose, they all expect a payoff from China when they are done.
