Soros-Backed Attorney Kills Effort To Recall School Board Member Who Fought Reopening
freebeacon ^ | August 27, 2021 | Matthew Foldi

A Virginia commonwealth's attorney backed by left-wing billionaire George Soros tanked an effort to recall a Democratic school board member who prevented students from returning to classrooms.

The Open Fairfax County Public Schools Coalition, a parents' group, in July reached the signature threshold to recall Elaine Tholen, a school board member who refused to reopen schools during the coronavirus pandemic. James Hingeley, the court-appointed attorney assigned to represent them in the case, dismissed Open Fairfax County Public Schools' petition on Friday. Hingeley, a Democrat who campaigned alongside Tholen in 2019, received $5,000 that year from the Soros-funded Justice and Safety PAC.

Soros and other left-wing donors backed Hingeley and other radical prosecutor candidates in an effort to remake Virginia's criminal justice system, the Washington Free Beacon reported in 2019. Hingeley, other Democratic candidates, and Tholen attended that year's Virginia Women's Summit.

Soros funneled $1 million to defund-the-police efforts as the country faced a violent crime spike this summer.

The Open Fairfax County Public Schools Coalition originally sought to retain Charles R. Spies as its lawyer. But Virginia law required the group to plead their case with a Commonwealth's attorney, Virginia's equivalent of a district attorney. Fairfax County attorney Steve Descano—who received $600,000 from Soros and thousands of dollars from Tholen—is facing his own recall and recused himself from the case. Descano tapped Hingeley to take his place.

Fairfax County Circuit Court judge Richard Gardiner had already denied Tholen's motion to quash the case against her, ruling that a trial would determine the veracity of the coalition's allegations. The parent group said Tholen neglected her duties as an elected official by refusing to reopen schools.

Rather than argue the coalition's case, Hingeley sought to have it dismissed.

That Soros and his millions of dollars were so active.

Time Magazine should make him “Person of the Year.”

Head of the snake. Dealing with the lower levels won’t stop the nonsense.

All candidate money should be from their district/state.

A local DA should not be getting money from out of the country.

I think election funding rules are horrible. The only 2 rules I would have are:
#1) full disclosure- you have to say publicly where every cent came from
and
#2) money can only come from within the area you are running, local district, county, state, etc.

Soros could care less if everybody dies. He simply wants ignorant and compliant robots with an average IQ of 60 to rule. How many more decades is this ghoul going to live. He must be on a steady diet of baby blood

I have often said that it should be illegal to contribute anything of value to the campaign of someone for whom you cannot vote.

Instead of a sentence of 40 lashes after a trial he should have one lash per wrinkle.

I think the growing backlash for all of this will turn Virginia red next year.

How much less could he care, a little or a lot?
