And she wants to be your governor? Pfft!
Maura Healey enters the governor’s fight as the automatic front-runner, but the larger question lingers: What exactly are the highlights of her seven-plus years as state attorney general?
As her No. 1 accomplishment, I’d list Healey’s measured response to the orgy of looting and violence by armed left-wing mobs that engulfed Boston on May 31 and June 1, 2020. Among other things, a career thug fired 12 shots at Boston Police officers on Tremont Street, some of which penetrated apartments across from the Common.
“Yes, Boston is burning,” the state’s chief law-enforcement officer said the next day as businesses and property owners tried to clean up millions of dollars of damage in the Third World-style mob violence, “But that’s how forests grow.”
At No. 2, I’m going to cite a lesser-known moment that speaks to her stewardship of the AG’s office.
Do you remember Sonja Farak, the drug-addicted hack chemist at the Department of Public Health. For more than a decade, Farak falsified thousands of criminal drug tests because she was ingesting all the contraband?
She was finally busted in 2013, smoking crack in her car outside the Springfield courthouse when Maura was a mere assistant attorney general.
But the cover-up by the AG’s office that began under Martha Coakley (Marsha, as Patches Kennedy called her) continued when she became attorney general.
Everything I’m about to tell you comes directly from a 2017 ruling by Superior Court Judge Richard Carey. When a report was filed showing how multiple assistant AG’s had tried to cover up Farak’s crimes, which resulted in the railroading of hundreds of accused drug dealers (most of them not white), Maura’s office tried to suppress the report.
Judge Carey reported that Healey’s office filed a “Motion to Impound Grand Jury Materials and Report” on the scandal her office had tried to sweep under the rug.
Then Healey filed a second motion — to “impound its request for its Motion for Order of Non-Dissemination of Information.”
In other words, not only did Healey try to bury the shocking evidence, she also tried to make sure her attempt to suppress the evidence of the criminal conduct by her assistant AG’s involving non-white defendants never saw the light of day. more here
She seems nice.
Bet she’s a lesbian, and that’s all that matters now. She checks off all the right boxes.
@TheMule:
From Fakepedia:
“Upon taking office, she became the first openly gay state attorney general in the United States.[2]”
Those eyebrows make her look sort of like one of the goons from the old Popeye strip.

Life is hard enough without throwing in making stupid choices. Of course there’s no telling the voter fraud level in MA but methinks a state like that can’t co-exist with states like AR or MO.
I was listening to Lars Larson today and he talks a lot about OR and it’s fucking crazy gov. Sounds like Maura will give Brown a run for the CrazyTown Title.
BTW Brown is a lesbian as well.
Criminey!!!
Throughout the years I thought I was (first) a truck driver, and (second) a welder.
All this time I was a lesbian.
Every queer, transgender and Karen will be “all in” for dimples. She’s a shoe-in for the Dem nomination.
That’s why the dems love weirdos, they coddle them and bring them to the forefront to get them elected and carry out more weird bullshit.
If you think you know crooked politicians, go to Massachusetts for a post graduate course.
From the state that gave us the Kennedys, Barney Frank, Jon Kerry, Liz Warren, Mitt Romney.
In other words, the worst of the worst.

No, no, no! They’re just misinformed. If conservatives just explain to them, again, how working harder for our capitalism will make them all happy to give up all that “weird bullshit”, they’ll give us their votes and wallets.
This list is incomplete without mentioning her “rewriting” and “reinterpretation” of the MA AWB (put into place after the Federal one sunset).
Her amazing mind just knew what the MA legislature “really” wanted to say, and so, she changed the rules on the fly. When dealers wrote to her office to get clarification, she couldn’t be bothered to answer.
