If you are calling prosecutors "corporate" your words have no meaning.

She’s one of the top three recipients of Wall St cash why?
There are some prosecutors who are lifers. Then there are the politically or economically ambitious ones (not infrequently, they’re the same ones). These people may not have worked in a Corp, but they strategize in a manner indistinguishable from ambitious private sector corporate workers.
Hierarchies are hierarchies. Substitute “institutional operator and manipulator” for “corporate.” The point is, Harris thinks in a manner akin to the way a lot of folks in the C suite do. She betrays a mind skilled in working systems to her advantage. This is not a bad thing. We all manipulate systems in self interest to an extent. But it is also not considered consistent with an altruistic mind, or the behavior of one who cares about the country more than her own advancement. This is why “corporate” is a synonym for “bloodless.”
You’ll find ex-prosecutors to be quite willing to flip to defense of corporate behavior they previously excoriated. The mindset of the ambitious within hierarchies is always a bit bent. What word fits that? I’m not sure. But it’s hardly surprising to learn that, like her truly corporate analogues, Harris will happily employ power like a sledgehammer.
