Maybe you should read what you link
"I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians," he added.

"The difference is that Harris is the only one who, after I helped her, sent word that I would be indicted if I 'so much as jaywalked' while she was D.A.," Brown wrote. "That’s politics for ya."

Why does any of this matter? Is there any evidence she was appointed to jobs over more qualified people? Her relationship wasn't hidden, you'd think people would be up in arms if there was an issue. 400k over 5 years isn't a lot of money in CA even back then. She seems to have built a very solid resume, she doesn't get to take any credit for her hard work?

some people are offended by crony-ism, more so when the bedroom is involved.

"Her relationship wasn't hidden"

Pete posted an article denying there was an affair.

It's gross. Trump has done many things at least as gross, but it's gross.

What article was that?

You have a real reading comprehension problem.

Here is the first sentence of what I posted
"Kamala Harris and Willie Brown had a relationship in the mid 1990s."

You sound like you got passed over for a promotion by a woman and now you are a poster boy for Misogynist Magazine.

Look at the list of people you have hated and attacked

Clinton
Lynch
Pelosi
Feinstein
Warren
AOC
Harris

The link you posted, said it wasn't an affair.

Add Trump to that list. But I attack him when it's accurate to do so.

And I love Cortez, I absolutely love her, hope she rises through the ranks for decades.

Sounds like Brown just had an open relationship.
