Soros-funded DAs Abetting Crime Wave

Turning lawbreakers loose rather than prosecuting them discourages police from doing their job and fosters more crime. ...
C. Mitchell Shaw

As police officers and sheriff’s deputies across the nation risk life and limb to arrest criminals in the midst of an increase in crime — including violent crime — many of them are finding their efforts amount to little more than an exercise in futility. That is because while police work hard to make arrests and build cases, many district attorneys across America seem to be working just as hard to nullify those efforts by either reducing the charges or refusing outright to bring charges in the first place. And most of those district attorneys have one thing in common: Their campaigns were funded in large part by George Soros.

Soros helped finance the campaigns of at least 23 district attorneys from 12 states across America. In all, Soros spent $15 million on the elections of those 23 district attorneys. And he appears to have weighed the costs and spent his resources where he could get the most bang for his buck. 

For instance, Soros spent nearly one-fifth of that $15 million on the Los Angeles County, California, race of George Gascon. While Soros actually forked out a total of $6 million on DA races in California, most of that was to losing candidates. But in George Gascon, Soros seems to have found a man worthy of his best efforts. Of the $6 million Soros spent on the California DA races, nearly half of that ($2.5 million) went to Gascon, who — not surprisingly — easily won his race. And of all of Gascon’s donors, Soros was the most generous. In all, Gascon spent just a smidgen over $12 million on his campaign.
