Kamala Harris received poor marks for leadership as a lawyer in San Francisco, documents reveal

Kamala Harris received poor reviews for her job performance when she worked as a civil attorney for the city of San Francisco, according to a copy of city documents obtained by DailyMail.com.

The now vice president took a job with the city of San Francisco after resigning from the San Francisco district attorney’s office after leading a poorly organized coup to overthrow Deputy Attorney General Darrell Salomon .

“I have become disillusioned and disappointed with the top leadership of the district attorney’s office,” Harris said when she publicly resigned and complained about the “dysfunctional” leadership and “low morale” in the office.

But Harris’ leadership skills in her new job weren’t all that impressive either.

Harris left the district attorney’s office to work for City Attorney Louise Renne in 2000, as a deputy attorney to run the child protection unit for the city.

But when she made plans to challenge her old boss, District Attorney Terrence Hallinan, for his job, she didn’t take her new job seriously.

In September 2002, the Department of Human Services issued a performance review for the team that was less than favorable.

Although Harris and her team received favorable ratings for her quality of work, creativity in her advice and understanding of problems, they received less favorable marks on other key metrics.

On a scale of one to five, Harris received only a “2” for whether she was “thorough, helpful and proactive,” and only a three for whether she had good judgment.

Harris also received a ‘2’ rating for recognizing deadlines, quick turnaround times and anticipating their needs. Even more embarrassing was the fact that she did not respond promptly to her calls and emails.

Kamala Harris resigned from District Attorney Terrence Hallinan’s office in August 2000 and served as city attorney for San Francisco before challenging her old boss in the next election.

The investigation was based on a “group assessment” by justice officials across the unit, the investigation concluded.

“On-the-job performance varies dramatically among individual attorneys, indicating a lack of communication and leadership within the unit,” the performance summary said.

“A rating of “3” is not a lack of opinion, but is a true middle score,” the review concluded.

Harris’ performance review is another example of how she provided only mediocre or even poor leadership in her position after running a successful campaign to achieve this.

Harris was appointed to two high-paying part-time positions in the state legislature while she was dating then-state Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, but was often absent from the meetings, even though they were only held once or twice a month.

After she campaigned and defeated Hallinan for district attorney in 2003, convictions fell under her watch, followed by a crime lab scandal that prompted her to dismiss more than a thousand cases.

As vice president, Harris is now running for president because of her record as a prosecutor, despite a mixed record.

“The great thing about being a prosecutor, and I’ve talked to a lot of prosecutors across the country over the years, is that you have one job, and that’s to do the right thing,” she told radio station Howard Stern on Wednesday.
