Soros-Funded DA Krasner May Have Finally Taken His ‘Free All Criminals’ Too Far

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has long been to the law what Philly fans are to football: they are simply willing to do things that others will not do. While Philly fans are known for taking their demonstrations to shocking levels, Krasner has long denounced adversaries as Nazis and pledged to arrest federal immigration officials.

However, a federal judge has finally had enough of the anger and antics that have long been the special brand of Philadelphia’s top prosecutor.

For full disclosure, Krasner and I went to college together at the University of Chicago in the same class in the 1980s. Since then, we have debated and disagreed on fundamental legal and ethical principles. 

Krasner has long worked as a second public defender for the city, running on his work to reduce the prosecution and incarceration of accused felons. He has portrayed the criminal justice system as racist and oppressive. At the same time, he has held chest-pounding press conferences pledging to arrest FBI agents and to “hunt down” ICE officers.
