[[Marc Elias]], who was the bagman who paid off [[Christopher Steele]] in excess of $900,000 on behalf of [[Hillary Clinton]] and [[DNC]] for the [[fraud]]ulent ''[[Steele dossier]]'', the basis of the [[Trump-Russia collision hoax]] which the [[Obama administration]] and [[Comey]] [[FBI]] used to meddle in the [[2016 presidential election]] and American [[democracy]], is Harris' senior counsel.

===Identity politics===
Harris, who is running on a platform of [[identity politics]], criticized identity politics when Sen. Bernie Sanders attacked her and suggested that candidates should be evaluated on the basis of qualifications and ideas, not identity politics. {{quotebox|"They bring this term up when you talk about issues that are about [[race]], about sexual orientation, about [[religion]]. They’ll bring it up when we are talking about [[civil rights]] issues as a way to marginalize the issue, as a way to frankly try to silence you or shut you up. We need to call it what it is, which is to try and divert away from a conversation that needs to happen in America. Why? One, because we must speak truth. Racism, [[sexism]], [[homophobia]], [[transphobia]], [[anti-Semitism]] are all real in this country, so we need to have that conversation and address it. Two, and this is equally important, how America deals with the issues and the disparities, and also the [[hate]] that can be — that causes these issues to become lethal in proportion — how America deals with these issues is a matter of American identity. This is not about identity politics, and if it is, it’s about the identity of the United States of America. How we handle the issues will be about our [[collective]] identity.”}}
