Joe Biden directed Department of Homeland Security boss Alejandro Mayorkas to assemble an “independent security review” of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on July 13. The inclusion of Obama DHS boss Janet Napolitano ensures that this review will be anything but independent.
Napolitano made her public debut in the 1991 campaign to keep Clarence Thomas off the U.S. Supreme Court. Anita Hill accused Thomas of sexually harassing her and Napolitano, then with a Phoenix law firm, represented Hill in the matter. In the confirmation proceedings, Hill’s witness Susan Hoerchner, “suddenly developed amnesia,” about parts of her story that contradicted Hill. Napolitano refused to reveal if she had persuaded Hoerchner to change her testimony, that is, to lie. That sort of witness tampering and obstruction of justice should have ended her legal career but Napolitano went on to serve as attorney general of Arizona.
As Arizona governor, Napolitano inclined to cronyism, appointing to the state supreme court her campaign attorney Scott Bales, a liberal Democrat who also worked at her former law firm. Governor Napolitano vetoed seven bills intended to fight illegal immigration but her zealotry came to the fore during her stint as DHS boss under the composite character president David Garrow described in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama.
