Soros Spends Big to Help Prosecutor Who Dropped Jussie Smollett Charges
2020-03-08
[FREEBEACON] George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
and other liberal billionaires are pushing large sums of cash into reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
to back the far-left prosecutor whose office dropped charges against Jussie Smollett
...Cable TV actor whose primary talents seemed to be being black and being homosexual. In a bid for national attention, he paid a pair of Nigerian brothers to rough him up a little so he could claim that two large, white, MAGA hat-wearing men had shouted This is MAGA country! while thumping him at 2:30am on a bitter cold night in Chicago and throwing bleach on him, presumably to lighten him up. The story quickly unraveled, and he became a laughingstock and the poster boy for pretend victimization and attention whoredom...
, the actor who staged a "hate crime" he attributed to Trump supporters.

The reelection efforts of Kim Foxx, state's attorney for Cook County, Ill., received a boost from the Illinois Justice & Public Safety PAC. The committee, founded to support Foxx, has spent six figures on media productions and direct mail backing Foxx's candidacy, state records show, making it Foxx's largest backer so far. The PAC received its entire $2 million budget from a group created and funded by Soros.

Soros has for years poured millions into district attorney and prosecutor races across the country backing candidates who want to radically overhaul the criminal justice system. The candidates often campaign on reducing incarceration rates by bringing lower-level charges for higher-level offenses. One such Soros-backed district attorney, Larry Krasner of Philadelphia, purged dozens of prosecutors primarily from the homicide division, drug enforcement, and civil asset forfeiture units within days of taking office.

Foxx, who received $408,000 from Soros during her first election in 2016, set off widespread criticism for her office's handling of the Smollett case. The actor claimed he was attacked by two white masked individuals in the streets of Chicago who yelled "This is MAGA country," tied a rope around his neck, and doused him in bleach. The story quickly unraveled after evidence emerged that Smollett hired two men to fake the attack. Foxx's office dropped the charges against him. Following a special prosecutor's probe into Foxx's handling of the Smollett case, a grand jury indicted Smollett on six counts of disorderly conduct in relation to making false reports to the Chicago Police Department.

#5  Why is this guy still metabolizing oxygen? He needs a midnight rendition flight to Hungary. Or anyplace that has a warrant for his arrest.

#4  In the short term these Justice Democrats in charge of DA offices are a clear danger to life and property.

In the long run there is a good chance that the population will have its eyes opened. Certainly there will still be true believers in 'criminal rights before bourgeois rights' but the majority will feel differently.

#3  Viktor Orban has the right idea.

This man is a threat to public safety. He is deliberately aiding and abetting criminal activity.

#2  ^A lot. There was an article here a few weeks ago that he's investing in DA elections nationwide.

#1  Krasner in Philly
Foxx in Chicago
Boudin in San Francisco
Gardner in St Louis...

How many more pro-criminal loose-cannon DAs have Soros's
millions funded?

This man is a menace. He is single-handedly destroying rule of law in our big cities.
