The Crucial 'Tell' When Voting for District Attorneys
Townhall.com ^ | December 15, 2021 | Lloyd Pettegrew

When most voters go to the ballot box, the candidates running for district attorney are typically the least of their concerns. Many people vote for D.A.s by party affiliation without looking deeper. This is a huge mistake that is costing voters and/or family members life and limb.

The current lawlessness in many major and even small cities across America has become epidemic. One need look no further than the sitting district attorneys in these recusant cities and states to find out why. Former U.S. Attorney General Ed Meese from the Reagan Administration has warned us in The LELDF report, Prosecutorial Malpractice: Progressive Prosecutors, Public Safety, and Felony Outcomes, “Now, it is becoming increasingly clear that a cadre of well-financed activist prosecutors [D.A.s] are committed to undoing the progress we have made against crime over the past few decades. Their failure to prosecute effectively endangers both the Rule of Law and the public safety.”

Thomas Hogan concludes, “That black and Hispanic citizens are the main victims of the homicide plague is the worst-kept secret in America. That violence and disorder are surging in cities overseen by ‘progressive prosecutors’ such as [Philadelphia’s Larry] Krasner is starting to be understood, too.” Krasner’s and the policies of other D.A.s across America appear to be oblivious to these violently corrupt realities. That is a dangerous mistake that we the people must correct

As James Varney wrote in The Washington Times, “Billionaire Democratic donor George Soros bankrolled the successful campaigns of a new crop of district attorneys who now preside over big cities with skyrocketing crime and frayed relationships with police departments.” Soros-backed DAs are in residence in Philadelphia (Larry Krasner), Chicago (Kim Foxx), San Francisco (Chesa Boudin), Baltimore (Marilyn J. Mosby), St. Louis (Kimberly Gardner), Los Angeles (George Gascon), Dallas (John Creuzot), Raul Torrez (Albuquerque), etc., etc. Soros has brilliantly covered some of his tracks by hiding his involvement through organizations with innocuous-sounding names like Justice & Public Safety PAC. Steve Balich provides a complete listing some 206 such organizations.

Robert Shuler Smith in CitiJournal points out the fact that black and Hispanic citizens are the primary victims of the increasing violence and homicide plague and is the worst-kept secret in America. These left-leaning efforts to let violent perpetrators off the legal hook seems both counterintuitive and counterproductive yet it continues to happen at an alarming rate, from San Francisco to New York, sea to shining sea.

The $64,000 question for law-abiding citizens across America is what can be done to reverse this trend. The answer is to look for “The Tell” in state and local elections for district attorneys.

We must realize that nearly all of these woke district attorneys around the country have been funded by George Soros who is hell-bent on turning America into a woke third-world country. He has come to realize that the surest way to achieve this evil end is through sterilizing our law-and-order system. Sadly, our legacy media assist him in his endeavor because they also espouse wokeism.

Poker players are always on the lookout for “a tell” from their opponents. It could be rubbing their neck, scratching their head or chin, closing their cards then opening them again. It is something opponents do after unconsciously assessing their hand; it signals their assessment of their hand, or that they are bluffing, by a change in their behavior or demeanor—sitting up straight or slouching. These tells are usually beyond the cardplayer’s own awareness. But Soros’ funding of D.A.s should not be.

Examples of Soros-funded District Attorneys include St. Louis D.A., Kimberly Gardner’s efforts to marginalize police. “I would describe it as abysmal,” Jeff Roorda, general manager of the St. Louis Police Officers Association, said when asked about cops’ relationship with Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner. “It has gone from bad to worse and now there is no cooperation.” The city has suffered a crime surge since the Soros-backed prosecutor took office. Violent crime rose by 8.8% since 2006. In terms of violent crimes per 100,000 residents, St. Louis has surpassed Detroit as America’s most violent city. Her 2016 campaign received more than $190,000 from PACs to which Mr. Soros is the sole or principal contributor; his PACs poured at least $116,000 into Gardner’s re-election last year.

In Philadelphia homicides had fallen below 300 annually for four consecutive years through 2016. Since then they have escalated in the wrong direction, shooting up again by 34% in 2020 and hitting 524 as of December 2021, according to police records. Krasner’s leniency toward offenders and hostility toward police contributed to the tragic murder of a Philadelphia police corporal, James O’Connor, who was killed by a repeat felon let off by Krasner. Hassan Elliot was caught in 2017 possessing a firearm illegally and released almost immediately for time served when Krasner took office in January 2018. The following year, Elliot was apprehended for possession of large quantities of cocaine for distribution, but instead of incarceration, Krasner released Elliot. On March 1, 2019 Elliot killed someone. Krasner filed a murder warrant., but Elliot failed to appear for his cocaine case trial which would have permitted Elliot to be detained on the parole violation. Krasner responded by dropping that charge altogether. Elliot remained a fugitive until he murdered O’Connor.

In America’s largest cities stuck with Soros-propagated district attorneys, it’s been S.S.D.D. Electing a district attorney funded by George Soros promises a swelling of violent crime and sundry lawlessness. It is a critically important “tell” about how that candidate will treat law and order, one that the Republican party should put at the forefront of the campaign against that candidate and one that every citizen should consider before casting their ballot for district attorney.

A woke District Attorney is a sad joke. Just ask the 50 people injured and the families of the six people killed by Darrell Brooks, who was released from jail by Waukesha District Attorney General John Chisholm.

George Soros has a brilliantly evil mind. He has realized that he can change America for the worse not by supporting politicians at the national level, but at the state and local level.

So why, do we we who have a magnificent drone fleet still allow that anti-American buzzard live?

Because those who control that drone fleet are highly indebted to him.

Besides, if he were to get “droned”, his kids would need to be “droned”, because they’re reputedly just as bad.

I don’t see where the author gave us the tell signs to look for.

I understand the Soros problem, but not everyone goes around with a Soros sign on his back.

The only thing I agree with these DA’s about is their unified refusal to prosecute people for “resisting arrest” when there is no reason for the arrest in the first place. You’d think this would be basic Constitutional understanding yet it is not.

But probably not as smart.

Military drone drivers (the “effective” (wink) ones ) ... are groomed and vetted volunteers.

The main one I see is "efforts to marginalize police," described in the fifth-to-last paragraph.

That makes three of us that missed it. Check their campaign donations and then go to David Horowitz’ website, discoverthenetworks. He has all Soros’ orgs listed.

Krasner’s and the policies of other D.A.s across America appear to be oblivious to these violently corrupt realities.....No matter what, these types still find a way to cover for people like Krasner and Boudin. They can’t help themselves. They’re all part of the same exclusive club. “Hey, I’m going to write piece and it might be a little negative about you, but we’re still friends, aren’t we. BFFs 4-Ever!!!”

DA’s like Krasner, Boudin, Foxx, all 3 Soros DAs in Northern Virginia, Gascon, 100% KNOW what they’re doing. They DO NOT CARE. They are tools of the Radical Leftist Machine. They are insulated from everything. They get paid a nice salary. Have all the perks. And, yet, don’t do any of the litigating.

Of the DAs in Northern Virginia, one had only one entity for campaign money. A single PAC, funded by Soros. And one the liberal, incumbent DAs that was beat, warned that the new ones were going to be way far left of anything the people have seen.

Paul Howard, formerly the DA for Fulton County, took it upon himself to be the lead prosecutor in the Ray Lewis trial. Made an absolute fool of himself in front of the whole world. Had to beg Lewis to accept a BS, misdemeanor Obstruction charge to show that he got at least on guilty plea. Ed Garland made minced meat out of him.

I’m betting you put any of them in a real courtroom, to try a real case and they’re failing miserably.

How great would it be to see our VP in a courtroom, doing the lawyer thing? I’d feel sorry for any victim waiting on justice to prevail if she were representing the state.

Look at the former DA from Boston, now US Attorney. Dumber than a box of rocks, nasty as a rattlesnake, and living so far removed from all of the violence. Why did the news crew show up at her home? Because she probably avoided, hid in her office and ignored any requests from the media concerning the incident she had with the woman in the parking lot and threatening to write her a ticket. For having emergency equipment in her car.

Something has changed. Up to now I’ve only seen Soros exposed on minor websites and conspiracy buffs. Recently I’ve seen him exposed on more major sources. This is good.

What are you supposed to do? The fact that a candidate runs as a Democrat is all you need to know to eliminate him from contention, which usually leaves the Republican.

Don’t vote D across the board. Come 2022, the Democrats are going to be schlacked.

The right to quell riots by private citizens just got the green light with Rittenhouse’s acquittal. I don’t agree with him looking for trouble, but it seems clear this has been greenlighted.

These DAs are a threat to Democracy if they choose to ignore election fraud evidence.

The most disgusting thing white liberal 'elites' did - and there's thousands of horrible things that bunch has done - is leave the most vulnerable people in our society (traditional Americans who happen to be black) to be punching bags for black thugs ...

Also, democrat mayor are lying about their crime numbers. They do that because they want to attract business to their cities and don't want high crimes rates to stop business from moving in - so they put pressure on top city officials to make 'changes'. Remember these people work FOR democrat thug mayors. They will bend. Oh, and The homicide rate is connected to other crimes rates... and when it's NOT, it means democrat mayors are lying.
