Peter Schweizer, author of Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America's Progressive Elite and president of the Government Accountability Institute, discussed with host Alex Marlow of Sirius XM's Breitbart News Daily on Thursday that Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), while San Francisco's district attorney (DA), refused to prosecute cases of priests' sexual abuse.

Harris was the only DA among those from the top 50 metropolitan cities not to lay charges against clergy for sexual abuse, said Schweizer, reflecting on Harris's tenure as the San Francisco DA between 2004 and 2011.

Schweizer stated, "The numbers are pretty stunning. From 2004 to 2011, Kamala Harris was the San Francisco [district attorney] responsible for all prosecutions and the prosecution team in the San Francisco area. Between 2004 and 2011, she did not prosecute a single case of priests' sexual abuse–period."

Schweizer continued, "To put that in the context of how stunning that is, if you look at the top 50 metropolitan areas in the United States at that time, all 50 prosecuted at least one case, the sole exception being Kamala Harris in San Francisco."
