For the last several years, billionaire philanthropist George Soros has been quietly financing a revolution in criminal justice reform, doling out tens of millions of dollars to progressive candidates in district attorney races throughout the country amid movements to abolish bail and defund the police.

Why is this Kapo traitor allowed to be here?
If we had a Department of Justice, this SOB would be either in an American prison or an Hungarian prison.
I would love for him to die in prison.
