As the world anticipates seeing former President Donald J. Trump being handcuffed, forced into a “perp walk,” and booked into a Manhattan police station, there is evidence that District Attorney Alvin Bragg is the recipient of money from a political action committee funded by George Soros.
As reported by The New York Post:
Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said Sunday that Manhattan’s new district attorney Alvin Bragg is “handcuffing the police” and blamed his election on George Soros, claiming the billionaire has “effectively destroyed the criminal justice system in America.”
Bratton then cited the $1 million donation that Hungarian-born philanthropist Soros gave to the Color of Change political action committee, which supported Bragg.
“If you look at every city in America that has violent crime increases and disorder increases … what is the one common denominator?” Bratton said. “District attorneys, almost all of whom are funded phenomenally by George Soros.”
“Soros and his people have figured out how to basically gerrymander the system,” Bratton claimed, saying he has “effectively destroyed the criminal justice system in America.”
Color of Change expressly endorsed Bragg:
Alvin Bragg (D) is an experienced attorney and a former chief deputy attorney general of New York. For over twenty years, Bragg has committed himself to defending the rights of New Yorkers without status or power. He is running to become the next Manhattan District Attorney to bring his professional and lived experiences to the forefront of criminal justice reform.
If elected, Bragg would become the first Black District Attorney to lead the Manhattan DA’s office.
As a lifelong Harlem resident and the only Black man in this race, Alvin Bragg has had direct encounters with the criminal legal system that have shaped his understanding of injustices and informed his policy positions.
On its website, Color of Change explained:
We design campaigns powerful enough to end practices that unfairly hold Black people back, and champion solutions that move us all forward. Until justice is real.
Color Of Change helps people respond effectively to injustice in the world around us. As a national online force driven by 7 million members, we move decision makers in corporations and government to create a more human and less hostile world for Black people, and all people. Until justice is real.
Lest anyone believe that this is simply another conspiracy theory, here’s what George Soros himself wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published last July:
Americans desperately need a more thoughtful discussion about our response to crime. People have had enough of the demagoguery and divisive partisan attacks that dominate the debate and obscure the issues.
Some politicians and pundits have tried to blame recent spikes in crime on the policies of reform-minded prosecutors. The research I’ve seen says otherwise. The most rigorous academic study, analyzing data across 35 jurisdictions, shows no connection between the election of reform-minded prosecutors and local crime rates.
According to a story published by Fox News, Soros “attempted to make the case that policies implemented by prosecutors he has donated millions of dollars to, including New York City District Attorney Alvin Bragg” have been “popular” and “effective.”
It is noteworthy, given the fact that DA Bragg’s investigation of former President Trump focuses on $130,000 Trump allegedly gave porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, the Color of Change PAC cut in half its Soros-funded $1 million contribution to Bragg’s campaign for district attorney after the Daily Mail reported a “disturbing allegation” that was not explained in the story.
According to the Daily Mail, the allegation was “made by an unnamed woman” via text message.
As for Bragg’s office’s persecution and prosecution of former President Trump, The New York Times reported that Bragg issued a controversial memo that revealed that his office “would cease to seek jail and prison time for all but the most serious crimes.” Additionally, two prosecutors in his office resigned when the Trump investigation initially did not go forward, according to story published in The New York Times.
In an interview with CBS News in November 2020, Bragg said that the “staggering” number of cases “swirling” around then-President Trump meant that Trump was “charge ready.”
Trump attacked Bragg’s actions in a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump’s own social-media platform:
Now illegal leaks from a corrupt & highly political Manhattan district attorneys office, which has allowed new records to be set in violent crime & whose leader is funded by George Soros, indicate that, with no crime being able to be proven & based on an old & fully debunked (by numerous other prosecutors!) fairytale, the far & away leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week. Protest, take our nation back!
As for the latest developments, Politico reports that “law enforcement officials from the NYPD and U.S. Secret Service, along with other court officials, met this afternoon at NYPD headquarters to game plan for the politically charged indictment.”
Once again, Democratic politicians are dancing to a tune played by George Soros.
