This is one of the first links (from 2017)

Attorney General Becerra nominated Tracey Whitney to the Council on Mentally Ill Offenders (COMIO). COMIO was created by the Legislature in 2001 to address growing concerns about the high number of individuals with mental illness who were incarcerated or at risk of incarceration.

Ms. Whitney is currently a Deputy District Attorney in the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. She is a founding member of the DA’s Mental Health Advisory Board and the County’s Permanent Steering Committee. Prior to her nearly two decades in the DA’s office, Ms. Whitney served as a Deputy District Attorney in Orange County. Ms. Whitney also clerked for federal court judge Honorable Kim McLane Wardlaw. She began her career in private practice. Ms. Whitney received her Juris Doctor from USC Gould School of Law and her undergraduate degree from Duke University.


Not sure if deputy district attorney is a reasonable comparison to whatever level that Tanq referred to. Any further thought about this would go over the 15 seconds I am willing to devote to it though.

I guess you didnt read the part about two decades of experience in the DA's office. How many years legal experience did Kamala have? Did you look into that? If you had (i.e. spent more than 15 secs) you would have noted that it was *less* than two years. Perhaps if you had taken a whole 17 secs you might understand that number in context.

Did you read the part about her founding the DA’s Mental Health Advisory Board and the County’s Permanent Steering Committee? What background in the areas that Willy tapped her (hehe) for did Kamala have? Hmmmm..... well still.... less than two years real world experience in total.

Perhaps if you upped your total to 20 fing seconds you would see what she was called upon to extend the to the world her deep, less than two year expertise to. Somehow that less than two years in all experience total made her supremely well fit to aid the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. And to oversee Medi-Cal service contracts.

Funny, I dont see the equivalent type of background experience that your find had already in mental health issues to be on a mental health commission. Well, lets up that total to 25 seconds so you dont look like a *complete* uninformed ass....

Please do tell how less than two years total experience garnered Harris the amazing expertise to the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. I am curious. Or how that less than two years experience garnered her the ability and wisdom for overseeing Medi-Cal service contracts.

Do you actually read things without keywords and skimming? Good grief.

Which part of me saying that I devoted exactly 15 seconds to this is confusing to you? Did I not make it clear that I was not conducting some exhaustive fact-finding mission? Good grief is right.

So you throw some random unread stuff out there for giggles, with no attempt to see if it conforms to the conversation. If so, then thank you *so* much for that absolutely historic effort. You are so brave.

I am still looking forward to your telling us how a less than two year attorney is so awesomely experienced to both be a Commissioner for the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board *and* the concurrent expertise to overseeing Medi-Cal service contracts with the other appointment.
