‘Terribly Corrupt’: Coalition of Anti-Trump Prosecutors—Bankrolled By Secret Donors—Raises ‘Stunning’ Constitutional Concerns, Legal Experts Say

A coalition of progressive prosecutors promising to target federal immigration agents has amassed a war chest funded by secret donors with the help of left-wing networks. Legal experts said the arrangement is "terribly corrupt" and blurs the lines between legitimate law enforcement and politically motivated prosecutions.

The Project for the Fight Against Federal Overreach—or FAFO, an acronym that also stands for "f*ck around and find out" in internet lingo—was formed by two George Soros-funded prosecutors, Philadelphia's Larry Krasner and Mary Moriarty of Hennepin County, Minn., after federal officials shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti as they interfered with immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis. Several elected district attorneys have said Krasner, who pledged to target ICE agents "the way they hunted down Nazis for decades," personally recruited them.

The group has said it aims to "hold federal officials accountable when they exceed their lawful authority" and regularly meets to strategize. But rather than using taxpayer dollars to carry out its mission, FAFO members say operations are fully funded by outside donors.

One member, Norfolk, Va., commonwealth's attorney Ramin Fatehi, said during a Feb. 19 interview that the group has "money in a lock box that has been pledged for us … so that we can bring in the top lawyers in the country," which will be available to "anybody who has a federal official that they're prosecuting."

But the donors behind that funding are kept secret, and the dark money groups handling the cash flow are openly left-wing, leading legal experts to sound the alarm. Rachel Paulose, managing attorney at the Upper Midwest Law Center, said it raises "stunning concerns about impartiality."

"The notion that an arm of the government would accept outside money to prosecute or target a political opponent or an ideological foe seems vindictive and contrary to basic notions of fairness," Paulose, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota, said. "I think it could raise constitutional issues of equal protection and due process under the federal constitution, and certainly under state constitutions, depending on which jurisdiction you're litigating in."

I don't see how this can be legal. First identify the man you disagree with politically, then look for the crime for which to prosecute him.

[Regulator]

It’s what Communists do.

[CFW]

And these days we seem to have a lot of communists in positions of power in our government.

"While the sources behind the funding are unknown, the figures managing it are overtly left-wing. The anti-Trump group Defiance.org said it "incubated" FAFO when it launched in January, and a Defiance spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon that it provided seed funding and a website. The group was cofounded by Miles Taylor, a former official with the Trump Department of Homeland Security who declared himself "part of the Resistance" inside the administration in the infamous "Anonymous" op-ed he penned in the New York Times."

[HYPOCRACY]

Well the FBI doesn’t seem to do anything anymore. Probably not a bad thing since they are mostly, if not all, commies.

[Paladin2]

I can think of two peeps who need to be locked up for Sedition....

[unixfox]

They don’t even look for a crime. They make one up.

See Russia Collusion.

[stars & stripes forever]

SEIDITION.

WHY is this allowed to go on.
?

[jimfree]

I read this story and I can clearly see conspiracy to interfere with law enforcement. I see seditious conspiracy. I see insurrection. And more mundane I see the Supremacy Clause.

[curious7]

These commies are coming out of the shadows. Round them up (which includes their funders) and put them in the ground. They are a clear and present danger to the Republic.
Stop pretending it’s just a public disagreement or a ‘legal issue’. With communists it’s always a ‘legal issue’ or a public disagreement until they get into power - then they destroy the lives of or murder those who are in their way to more power. Look how they were treating the J6ers.

[SENTINEL]

Still zero arrests.

If still zero arrests in 108 days, then zero midterm vote.

[fruser1]

This is a kind of tyranny that the second amendment is needed to address.

[Salman]

We need to proceed as if the system were completely broken, because it is.

Yep. Another example.

Obviously, Trump is doing better in his 2nd term. But the question remains; is he in charge of the federal government?

[Oystir]

well some guy is under indictment for playing with seashells in the sand.

[SENTINEL]

Yeah, I heard a rumor.

I didn't see any handcuffs. Did you?

Did you see a perpwalk like Roger Stone?

Did you see a released mugshot like Trump?

Nothing but rumors.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

“Progressive” my ass.

They are left-wing prosecutors!

Also, when are George Soros and his putrid son Alex going to be investigated and indicted?

They must have broke many laws over the years.

[Paladin2]

“...ome guy is under indictment for playing with seashells in the sand...”

FAFO?

Karma?

[TalBlack]

At some point the arrests have to start. Operating within the justice system and taking outside money to prosecute political opposites? Illegal. Unconstitutional. Immoral. These people aren’t going to stop until they ARE STOPPED!
