In my mind that sounds like it applies to the
system of laws and lawmaking and law enforcement and the vast array of institutions and individuals who study, uphold, and practice within that system. So it's a lot of things and people to "call into question" at once which would make
a statement like this sound pretty serious.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Kamala Harris bemoaned the influence of the
powerful and connected elite last Tuesday when she called on top Justice
Department officials to recuse themselves from any matter related to
Jeffrey Epstein. She said their former law firm’s work on behalf of the
financier accused of sexual abuse “calls into question the integrity of
our legal system.”
Wow. A US Senator and former Attorney General of our largest state says the integrity of the whole dang system is under question now. Okay. Let's clean house, then. Where do you suggest we begin?
Yet the same day, Harris’ husband headlined a
Chicago fundraiser for her presidential campaign that was hosted by six
partners of that firm — Kirkland and Ellis, according to an invitation
obtained by The Associated Press.
Oh man. How do we even get a grip on the deteriorating integrity of the system when we can't even make it through this one node without hitting a feedback loop? That's got to be a problem right there.
Ian Sams, a Harris spokesman, said there wasn’t a problem with accepting
the campaign contributions because the firm is big and the partners who
hosted the fundraiser didn’t work on Epstein’s plea agreement.
Okay well. It's a big firm. Systems within systems, I guess.
