According to a new report released, political parties associated with billionaire George Soros helped elect 75 “social justice” prosecutors in U.S. cities that have experienced huge crime rises.
In a new report by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF), the progressive hedge fund manager and head of the Open Society Foundations — who is accused of meddling in local politics by several Eastern European countries, including Hungary, Ukraine, and Russia — spent around $40 million over the last ten years to support the election of dozens of prosecutors.
LELDF President Jason Johnson addressed the idea of Soros paying prosecutors who are historically lenient on violent crimes, proponents of taking weapons away from responsible individuals, and defunding police organizations in a statement to Secrets.
Johnson said in a statement:
”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.”
”Over the past decade, George Soros has spent $40 million to elect 75 of his chosen prosecutors. In campaigns from Houston and Los Angeles to Philadelphia and Orlando, Soros was the campaign’s biggest spender by far — as much as 90% of the dollars spent in some races. Soros isn’t done yet — he’s already spent another million so far this year on his hand-picked district attorneys.”
George Gascón in Los Angeles, Alvin Bragg in Manhattan, Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, and Kim Foxx in Illinois are among the high-profile prosecutors sponsored by George Soros’ war chest.
The LELDF stated in its report:
“Over the past decade, a wave of ‘social justice’ candidates have been elected as the chief prosecutor in jurisdictions across the United States. Most of these prosecutors pursue radical justice policies upon assuming office including eliminating bail, dismissing felony cases, and seeking lenient sentences while creating antagonistic relationships with their public safety partners, especially the police.”
“Crime and violence surged following the election of many of these reform prosecutors. And critically, the rise in most of these prosecutors’ jurisdictions predates the nation-wide 2020 crime spike,” the study found.
Soros plans to overhaul criminal justice in the United States by pressing for the election of prosecutors who support radical measures such as decriminalizing nonviolent offenses and abolishing bail, similar to his work in Eastern Europe.
Among Soros’ most notable election victors are:
Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan District Attorney; Buta Biberaj, the Commonwealth Attorney for Loudoun County, Virginia; and Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx, who was accused of malfeasance, or “operational missteps,” in the early phases of the Jussie Smollett/MAGA attacker hoax case.
