Progressive Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner launched into a rant when confronted by a young Republican activist in a local park in a video that has since gone viral. "Donald Trump is a fascist," Krasner said during the confrontation. When prompted to elaborate on what he meant by the remark, Krasner instead deflected and continued his tirade.

A shadowy for-profit company and its nonprofit counterpart provide free services to at least 40 far-left prosecutor offices, raising questions about whether it’s working on behalf of taxpayers or of donors who have essentially bought government. The Wren Collective is a shadowy group that emerged from a Cold War-era initiative aimed at promoting Soviet films in the United States. Its current iteration — funded by a former Enron executive and host of other leftist megadonors — claims that America’s “system of policing and mass incarceration is deeply flawed and intractably racist.” The group has intervened on specific criminal cases, written...

Soft-on-crime District Attorney Alvin Bragg was spotted by The Post brush in hand, lost in a watercolor sketch, as part of his “art of healing” July workshop series. The choice of location was no coincidence — the northwest corner of the park has spiraled into a depraved drug den, with syringes littering the ground and zombies shooting up on park benches and under trees. Moments before Bragg began painting a tree in watercolor, the city’s drug crisis blossomed in real time a few feet away. Police officers tried to revive a glassy-eyed junkie slumped on a bench — and workers...

There’s a famous anecdote about Fred Astaire’s dance partner Ginger Rogers that she “did everything he did only in high heels and backwards.” I couldn’t help but think of it as the news broke that Jeanine Pirro was to be the new interim United States Attorney for the D.C. If ever there were an “eff yew” to the Republican establishment it’s this, because she’s every bit the dancer Ed Martin is, and then some. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC), as you are no doubt aware, was the RINO roadblock preventing the current U.S. Attorney for D.C., Ed Martin, from getting a...

ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia state Senate committee pursuing a thus-far fruitless investigation of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis wants to add Stacey Abrams to its list of targets. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and other Republicans say they want to further examine recent ethics findings that voter participation group New Georgia Project improperly coordinated with Abrams’ 2018 campaign for governor. They also want to probe claims by new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin that $2 billion was improperly given to a coalition of groups trying to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Abrams worked with one of the...

BLM gunman who shot a driver in the head has charges dropped, sentence reduced, eligible for parole in 2026The public is forgetting a lot of things. The absurd theater surrounding the COVID pandemic and hysteria over vaccines seems like a distant memory. The huge outpouring of organized violence surrounding the death of George Floyd, probably the worst the nation has experienced in decades, is also slipping away. One incident that is often forgotten is the shooting that took place in the small town Alamosa, CO. In Alamosa we saw the familiar pattern of the riots: Black Lives Matter protestors would...

Independent challenger Nathan Hochman is destroying incumbent, George Soros-backed George Gascón in the race for Los Angeles County District Attorney, leading by 30 points with less than four weeks to before Election Day. A Los Angeles Times/University of California Berkeley poll of likely voters this week showed that 51% would vote for Hochman, while only 21% would choose Gascon. The percentage of undecided voters, 28%, cannot make up the gap. Gascón ousted incumbent Jackie Lacey, the first black woman to hold the job, in 2020 — thanks to the endorsements of Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Black Lives Matter...

A George Soros-funded district attorney cut a deal with a Los Angeles man to avoid prison time after an armed robbery, and now authorities are accusing him of murdering a tourist, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday. Prosecutors under the helm of L.A. County District Attorney George Gascon agreed to a plea deal with Leroy McCrary, which gave him a suspended three-year prison sentence after he was convicted of armed robbery, with McCrary now being accused of murdering a woman while out on probation, according to the L.A. Times. Left-wing billionaire George Soros’ California Justice & Public Safety PAC gave...

As homicides and robberies continue to rise, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon has created a backlog of 15,000 unfiled criminal cases, leading to concerns that unprosecuted criminals in the zero-bail county are able to stay on the streets and keep committing new crimes without any consequences. While LAPD did not respond to a public records request on updated crime data by the time of publication as the department adopts a new crime reporting system, a LAPD public information officer told The Center Square there were 438 gunshot victims and homicides are up 11%, robberies up 17.6%, motor vehicle theft...

Portland, Oregon, is considered one of the wokest cities in the nation, yet even residents there have apparently had enough of watching silently as their metropolis descends into chaos and ruin. On Tuesday, they got rid of their disastrous district attorney Mike Schmidt and handed the job to his tough-on-crime challenger Nathan Vasquez.Never thought I’d see such sanity from Portland folks:BREAKING: Portland voters fire Soros DA Mike Schmidt by a landslide 15% margin.He infamously declined to prosecute the BLM and Antifa riots & allowed crime to flourish in Multanomah County.Soros DA Chesa Boudin (San Fran): OutSoros DA Kim Gardner (St....

District Attorney Sandra Doorley repeatedly ignored officer commands when stopped for speeding in Webster this week — telling them she was the DA, didn’t care about the reason for the stop and that they should leave, footage released by the Town of Webster shows. “I am the DA of Monroe County,” she told the officer at one point in the interaction captured by the officer’s body worn camera. “...I don’t really care. You know what, if you give me a traffic ticket, that’s fine. I’m the one that prosecutes it, OK? Just go ahead and do it. Go ahead. Go...

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been accused of hiring a private lawyer she was in a 'romantic' relationship with to prosecute Donald Trump, according to a stunning filing by one of the former president's co-defendants. The bombshell allegations are included in a filing by Michael Roman, a former Trump campaign official who is accused of taking part in the 'fake electors' scheme as one of 18 people charged in the state along with Trump. The public court filing, which seeks the dismissal of charges against him, alleges that Willis was in a personal relationship with private lawyer Nathan...

Austin’s progressive district attorney is facing criticism in the community after a man who allegedly killed two while committing his 7th DUI is walking the streets after his charges and bond were reduced. Roberto Rangel, 52, was arrested last year in Travis County, Texas, for his 7th DUI that resulted in the deaths of 22-year-old Kate Garcia and 23-year-old Mark Narvaez, Fox 7 Austin reported. Rangel, who has been sentenced to over 14 years in prison for DUIs dating to 1989, reportedly pulled out of a Chick-fil-A parking lot in Austin at 2:45 a.m. and parked his car sideways in...

A Texas sheriff’s department has recommended that the district attorney in Bexar County bring criminal charges after completing its investigation into the first iteration of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ so-called migrant relocation program. Those flights sent 49 asylum seekers, most of them Venezuelans, from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, last September. According to a statement provided to the Miami Herald, the Bexar County Sheriff completed its criminal investigation into the on-the-ground operation that allegedly lured migrants onto the flights with false promises of jobs and opportunities on the other end. “The case filed includes both felony and misdemeanor charges...

A supervising detective involved in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against President Donald Trump has been suspended for his secret ties to Michael Cohen. Cohen is Trump’s former attorney who turned on the 45th president in an effort to reduce his own prison sentence. Former associates of Cohen have warned that the disgraced lawyer will do or say anything about Trump to save himself. Jeremy Rosenberg, who investigates financial crimes for Bragg, was suspended when his relationship with Cohen was exposed, according to the New York Post. “The office is conducting a review of an investigator’s compliance with internal...

In November, the progressive candidate, Pamela Price, was elected district attorney of Alameda County, California, after pledging to "disrupt the system." Now, she is doing just that, letting serial killers escape long sentences as part of plea deals, and letting many violent criminals off with just probation.

AUSTIN, Texas — Prominent voices blamed liberal, anti-cop policies for chaos in the city over the weekend after street racers took over city intersections, attacking law enforcement and setting people on fire in wild scenes which were caught on video. “Austin voters wanted a Mayor, City Council, and [George] Soros [funded] DA who treat cops as criminals and criminals as victims,” tweeted the National Police Association, referring to the left wing billionaire, who is said to have funded Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza. “This was not only predictable, it was predicted ... The public statement from the law enforcement...

A new report by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund confirms that George Soros and his groups helped elect 75 prosecutors to support his far left progressive anti-police, social justice policies, and many of those are in cities where crime is surging. Not surprising, Colorado made the map. Jason Johnson, president of the group, told the Washington Examiner: “Soros is using that campaign money and the hundreds of millions more for supporting organizations to quietly transform the criminal justice system for the worse, promoting dangerous policies and anti-police narratives to advance his radical agenda,” said Johnson. He added, “Over the...

Hundreds of suspected wife-beaters, burglars, drunk drivers, and berserkers of various intensity will not face justice in Oregon's most populous county, according to leftist Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt. For lack of public defenders, dangerous personalities are being set free under the justified impression that Portland, the slogan of which is "the City that Works," is a legally dysfunctional city in a legally dysfunctional county. Schmidt announced on Monday that in "February of this year, a Multnomah County Circuit Court judge dismissed the first of what is now nearing 300 cases due to a lack of defense counsel over...

The DA’s office apparently did not record the specific county jail sentences for many cases in its data dashboard. For the convictions where the DA provided specific county jail sentencing information, roughly half of the sentences agreed to were eight days or less, and some were as low as one or two days. The DA’s data, along with court records and information from DataSF, tell a chilling tale of gang members, drug dealers, and multiple violent repeat offenders sometimes serving just a short time in county jail, released on probation, or sent to diversion programs.
