She would have been wasting her time and state resources if she had and he would still be treasury secretary.
The OneWest issue was resurfaced in 2017 when Mnuchin was nominated to serve as Treasury secretary. She was also the only Democratic Senate candidate to receive a donation from Mnuchin during the 2016 elections, according to FEC records. Still, she voted against his confirmation as Treasury secretary.

In a 2017 interview with The Hill, Harris pushed back against criticism of her decision. “We went and we followed the facts and the evidence, and it’s a decision my office made,” she said.

“There was no question One West conducted predatory lending, and Senator Harris believes they should be punished,” Ian Sams, national press secretary for Harris’s campaign, told CNBC in an email. “Unfortunately, the law was squarely on their side and they were shielded from state subpoenas because they’re a federal bank.” The California Justice Department’s memo noted that “the investigation was hampered by our inability to subpoena OneWest,” but that would not have prevented Harris from filing a civil enforcement action against the bank if she chose to do so.

Didn't the Clinton presidency crash and burn over that healthcare debate in 93? The country is still in the grip of Republicans who came into power on that wave.

Why is Bernie determined to repeat past failures?

Shore up the ACA and adding the public option for people to sign up for Medicare. Then make the ACA and Medicare great services. This is the best path towards universal healthcare.

Republicans will feast on Bernie's plan if that's the Democratic nominee's policy. Bernie is an idiot.. Warren is not, though. She's going to finish walking away from Bernies plan very soon.

Is Warren the enemy now?

That complaint about Harris and Mnuchin is overwrought. You are an idiot too.

Hey @Padawanbater2, in case you are unaware of it, political movement in America has usually taken the place of one of the two main parties "copying" views from more radical minor parties. There is nothing original in Bernie's platform that somebody has not championed before.

So what is your problem if other candidates have "copied" Bernie's platform? It is pretty clear that, with a few exceptions, each of the candidates has been a more effective legislator and far more inspiring leader than Bernie ever could be.

I would figure that you would be pleased to see those ideas move forward but you aren't. You have a lot of ego wrapped up in this, little guy. It seems like you define "your interests" as stroking your ego in the hope that people will see you as some sort of visionary.

You aren't. Neither you or Bernie own any platform or political idea. Get over yourself.

Kamala Harris Has To Answer For Not Prosecuting Steve Mnuchin

TREASURY NOMINEE STEVE MNUCHIN’S BANK ACCUSED OF “WIDESPREAD MISCONDUCT” IN LEAKED MEMO

guilty of “widespread misconduct” in the form of over 1,000 legal violations. The memo was the result of a year-long investigation and it asserts that OneWest Bank operated to intentionally boost foreclosures. The Campaign for Accountability called for a federal investigation of Mnuchin and OneWest Bank claiming they used “potentially illegal tactics to foreclose on as many as 80,000 California homes.”

Yet despite internal memos explicitly mentioning numerous prosecutable offenses by Mnuchin and co., then California Attorney General Kamala Harris refused to prosecute.

She’s never given an explanation for her decision and Mnuchin later donated $2,000.00 to Harris’ campaign. It was his only donation to a democratic candidate.

From the post with that title you get your answer:

Mnuchin spokesperson Tara Bradshaw said that “state attorneys general have no jurisdiction to investigate federally chartered banks like OneWest. When OneWest pointed that out to the California attorney general’s office, they withdrew their subpoena.”

It seems to have been a federal issue, nothing Harris could do about it.
