DAs backed by Soros, other liberal activists join fray in clash with police Under-the-radar political investments made by progressive groups in recent years may be paying off

District attorneys and current candidates whose campaigns benefited from the work of left-wing organizations – including ones backed by liberal billionaire George Soros – are now pushing for new practices that could see sharp reductions in prosecutions and incarcerations.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, who was boosted by Soros in her campaign, drew controversy when she announced her office was bringing felony charges against Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the couple who brandished guns outside their home as protesters marched by in June.

Another high-profile prosecutor who has been backed by Soros in the past is Cook County, Ill. State's Attorney Kim Foxx. Foxx drew national attention when she dismissed the case against actor Jussie Smollett.

A report from the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund found a 39 percent increase in dropped or lost cases after Foxx took office in 2016.

San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, another beneficiary of Soros-tied contributions, recently defended the movement to defund police.

Boudin is also one of a number of district attorneys participating in "Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commissions," teaming with the Grassroots Law Project, an organization co-founded by activist Shaun King that calls for defunding police.

The other district attorneys who are participating in these commissions are Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner and Suffolk County, Mass., DA Rachael Rollins, who have both benefited from Soros’ support.

Becton also announced earlier this month that she was filing hate crime charges against Nichole Anderson and David Nelson, White people who were allegedly caught painting over a Black Lives Matter mural.

Orlando State Attorney candidate Monique Worrell is also backed by a group linked to Soros. Worrell’s platform calls for an end to cash bail, which would result in more defendants being released before their trial. She also says that incarceration should be a “last resort,”

These people are desperate.

Take heart.

Have you ever killed a wild beast with your bare hands? Throes of death are intensely violent.

They heard AG Barr’s recent testimony. Hence their desperation.

Soros spent HUGE amounts of money on DA and prosecutor races. It seemed odd at the time.
Now it makes sense
This whole BLM push has been in the works a long time by a VERY organized group

Although new pansy Fox News isn’t worth much today, this important story getting out is really important.

We all heard it long ago but it will be a shock to the uninformed at home.

Have to hand it to the loathsome slithering reptile Soros——a brilliant plan.

Why didn’t our side’s millionaires get people elected?

Chicago tribune journalist who first broke this story was demoted. They tried to cancel him completely.
They tried to silence this story.

Cancel culture is crippling our ability to discuss issues and get information

Yes they are having an effect. They are letting the animals back out to destroy Demorat cities and showing the country what Democrats really are.

There has to be a way to charge these DA’s with conspiracy to violate Constitutional rights under some federal racketeering laws?

Not just DAs but States Attorneys General and Sec of State positions. Why Sec of State positions you ask? Because they certify elections!

I've been wondering about that too. That and maybe building a social networking site or search engine. Seems there's not too many conservative billionaires and the few that exist are stingy

I remember reading about the DAs, in Northern Virginia, that Soros helped get elected. One of them was financed by one PAC. That PAC received all of its money from Soros.

What struck me as I read the article were the comments from the incumbent DAs, all Dem’s IIRC, that lost to these radicals. Consistently they stated that the ones replacing them are really, really, really radical Leftists. And these were folks that tended to be a bit softer on crime.

So, at the end of the day, the ideology of these radical DAs really only hurts one group of folks, before anyone else, the people that live in those counties and the ones that voted for them. If there’s a soft-on-crime radical in Arlington, Fairfax, Loudon, etc, the people of those counties are going to feel that pain long before anyone else does.

And northern Virginia has a huge MS-13 problem. What happens when those savages know nothing will happen to them?

Soros, ironically, is inciting world unrest and violence on a level that rivals Nazi Germany.

Plus the age old question: If leftist millionaires own the current TV news networks, then why not have someone on the right buy one?

There were times when Ellen was slated to be off the air, Morning Joe was dropping badly, MSNBC overall had almost too low viewership to qualify for national ratings and so on. Now, of course, Satan has the American followers pumped up to watch them all to root for destroying Trump so they’re on top again.

But sometime buy a network with some loose millions, somebody? Please. I don’t count NewsMax and is it called OneAmerica?? Can’t remember. And not Blaze or Bill O’Reilly...A real one.

It’s going to get unimaginably worse if a Republican doesn’t win the Presidency for 2020 election. It is all over. No stories will escape suppression.

“Right wing loonies again try to promote their wild stories of Deplorables being taken in semis at night to be killed and buried. It takes all kinds.”
