George Soros Spent $40M Getting Lefty District Attorneys, Officials Elected All Over the Country

George Soros, the most dangerous man America. The investor wants to restore the country to its liberal image. This includes changing our foreign policy priorities and undermining our criminal justice system. This week, The Post takes a look at the reach of Soros’ billions, starting with his backing of prosecutors who don’t prosecute. Matt Palumbo, author of “The Man Behind the Curtain: Inside the Secret Network of George Soros,” The 92-year old explains how he has circumvented legislatures to decide which laws should be applied.

You can see how much law and order have been subverted George Soros-backed “progressive prosecutors,” Loudoun County is a Virginia county.

The top prosecutor there, Commonwealth Attorney Buta Biberaj, announced last week that her office wouldn’t be directly involved in the prosecution of misdemeanor charges — among them hit-and-run, eluding police, reckless driving, trespassing, public drunkenness and failure to appear, among others.

Soros dumped $659,000 into the Loudoun County commonwealth-attorney race backing Biberaj for the position, which she won by a slim 49.5% to 47.5% margin despite the massive cash advantage. In January 2020, she was sworn into office.

After last week’s announcement, Biberaj claimed letting all these crimes go unpunished would allow her office to devote more resources to victims of more serious crimes such as “murder, rape, and domestic violence, not speeding tickets.”

The rhetoric is always misleading. These are the exact types of crimes that Biberaj claims she wants to focus on are the ones she’s been neglecting most.

The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors decided to give Biberaj’s office a smaller budget increase than requested in 2021 due to high turnover and her handling of domestic-violence cases — of 735 cases brought to her office, she dismissed 491, bringing only 8% to trial.

75-prosecutor roster

Biberaj is one of many. 75 prosecutors Soros supported DAs across the country for their procriminal views. Soros-backed DAs (and ideological allies) now make up at least one fifth of Americans, having invested more than $40million in this project.

This $40 million is just a small fraction of the $32billion that Soros’ political empire has financed. But by focusing on key local races, Soros is having an outsize impact on people’s lives.

It’s much harder than electing one person to change the law or flipping a legislature. In many cases, Soros’ prosecutors decline to prosecute cases, toss charges or cut lax plea deals — bypassing the statutes on the books.

So egregious are the actions of the Soros-backed progressives that for the first time in history these prosecutors have become household names — whether it be St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, who made headlines for persecuting the McCloskeys for defending their home against rioters, Chicago’s Kim Foxx, known for her role in attempting a cover up after actor Jussie Smollett’s hate crime against Jussie Smollett, and the now-recalled Chesa Boudin of San Francisco, the son of 1960s radicals who was raised by terrorist Bill Ayers and effectively legalized shoplifting in the city.

Katastrophes

A comprehensive compilation of all the necessary information is a daunting task. “best of the worst” This list of Soros-appointed prosecutors could easily fill volumes. Here are some highlights:

• Ten days after taking office, Portland DA Mike Schmidt (backed with $320,000 from Soros) announced that he’d refuse to prosecute rioters in the summer of 2020, and instead defended them. Even though rioting is a felony, he doesn’t prosecute those cases.
• He is also reluctant to prosecute people. “interfering with a peace officer, disorderly conduct in the second degree, criminal trespass in the first or second degree, escape in the third degree, and harassment and riot when it isn’t accompanied by a separate charge.”
• Philadelphia’s Larry Krasner In 2018, with the support of nearly $1.5million from Soros, they dropped charges in more than 60% of shooting cases as well as 37% in illegal firearms cases. This was in just two years. Since then, homicides and shootings have increased. In 2020, Philadelphia prosecuted the lowest number of felony cases in 30 years — even though the city saw 499 homicides, more than New York has with five times the population. There were 351 homicides that year. In 2021, the city had a record 562 murders. The number dropped slightly to 516 in 2022. However, it was still a significant increase over when he was elected.
•  Soros spent $275,000 on California to support Contra Costa County DA Diana Becton. She was chosen by a board for the remainder of her predecessor’s term. Part of the selection process to fill the vacancy included a questionnaire in which Becton repeatedly plagiarized responses, including Martin Luther King Jr. quotes she somehow thought wouldn’t get recognized. She was eventually selected by three out of five members of her board, and later she won a DA race for 2018. Becton hadn’t been a prosecutor before. Among the crimes that Becton won’t prosecute: Graffiti, unless the graffiti offends her political sensibilities. After a couple was accused of painting over a Black Lives Matter graffiti, she brought three misdemeanors against them, including vandalism, violation of civil rights, and possession of the tools to commit vandalism.
•  Soros backed Aramis Ayala to become Orlando’s state attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, donating $1.4 million. Ayala, in lieu of any actual consequences, has tried to punish criminals like kindergarteners. She gave them an adult timeout and had their charges dropped in return for showing her an educational video about resisting offenses and the dangers that come with breaking the law. Ironically, that very exercise teaches them that there aren’t many dangers associated with breaking the law.

Policies that fail to deliver

If the philosophy of progressive policing as advertised really worked, that shifting attention away from lesser offenses would decrease more serious crimes, we wouldn’t have seen the national crime wave that began in 2020 and has continued to this day, and it wouldn’t be especially pronounced in the exact cities following this philosophy.

Soros has spent millions backing these extreme criminal-justice philosophies, but neither he — nor the prosecutors he has backed — have any regrets about the increases in property crime, disorder or even murder.

The number of young men who were murdered in Baltimore, Philadelphia and Chicago in recent years, particularly those of black or Hispanic heritage, is staggering “defund the police,” “no bail” And “raise the age” The number of laws that went into effect has risen dramatically. Are they ashamed?

Tomorrow: Soros & the media
