Larry Krasner, the far-Left Philadelphia district attorney backed by George Soros, won the Democratic primary over a more moderate challenger on Tuesday night, likely securing a third term as he continues to push soft-on-crime policies.
Krasner was declared the winner over Pat Dugan, a U.S. Army veteran and former head administrative judge of the Philadelphia Municipal Court, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/philadelphia-district-attorney-election-31df19bdb5fb6e10ad65e5702468e2b9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>. With 83% of the vote counted as of Wednesday morning, Krasner was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/05/20/us/elections/results-pennsylvania-district-attorney-philadelphia-primary.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ahead</a> of Dugan by nearly 30 percentage points. Krasner&#8217;s primary victory all but ensures his third four-year term, as no Republican candidate is running in the general election in November in the deep blue city.
During the primary race, Dugan nearly doubled Krasner&#8217;s donations, raking in $900,700 to Krasner&#8217;s $499,900 between November 2024 and May 2025, Philadelphia&#8217;s public radio station WHYY <a href="https://whyy.org/articles/philadelphia-district-attorney-race-campaign-finance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. More than half of the money Krasner received for the primary came from people living outside of the city, including from wealthy leftists like Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s, and Patricia Quillin, the wife of Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings. Dugan, meanwhile, received most of his money from donors within Philadelphia.
Krasner focused his re-election messaging on national politics and President Donald Trump. In March, Krasner <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/soros-das-comments-about-punching-trump-could-haunt-him-in-re-election-fight" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> Trump and his supporters &#8220;fascists&#8221; and &#8220;bullies who need to be punched in the face as hard as possible.&#8221;
“Trump likes crime. Fascists like crime. Right-wing Republican MAGA people like crime and they like it because it gins up a crisis that doesn’t have to be, which allows them to scapegoat different groups of marginalized people so they can eliminate our rights. This is a very old playbook,” he added.

Dugan portrayed himself as a moderate compared to Krasner, slamming the district attorney&#8217;s policies. Some of Krasner&#8217;s lenient policies include ending cash bail for some offenses, cutting back on parole supervision, and pushing for reduced sentences for certain crimes. Krasner oversaw a massive spike in homicides after taking office in 2018. Homicides in the city jumped from 351 in 2018 to 562 in 2021, according to Fox News. Philadelphia <a href="https://pennsylvaniaindependent.com/politics/philadelphia-violent-crime-hits-20-year-low-as-trump-says-city-is-suffering/#:~:text=The%20nonprofit%20Pew%20Charitable%20Trusts,%2C%20while%20murder%20fell%2026.4%25." target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> a drop in violent crime to a 20-year low in 2024.
The district attorney was impeached by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 2022, but a Commonwealth Court judge ruled that the articles of impeachment didn&#8217;t meet the state constitution&#8217;s requirement.
The Philadelphia GOP <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/politics/philadelphia/patrick-dugan-gop-write-in-votes-pennsylvania-primary-election-2025-20250520.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">urged</a> voters to write in Dugan&#8217;s name on the Republican line in the primary election. If he receives 1,000 write-in votes, he could run as a Republican in the November general election. Dugan&#8217;s campaign manager, however, said he would decline the GOP nomination.

Newly elected <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/los-angeles">Los Angeles</a> County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said that Lyle and Erik Menendez will be evaluated separately for potential <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/crime">resentencing</a>. 
The two brothers were both convicted of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/murder">first-degree murder</a> and sentenced to life in prison without parole in connection with the murder of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in 1989. Now, Lyle, 56, and Erik, 54, are poised to have their cases reviewed in light of new evidence that could potentially prove their father was sexually abusing them.
Erik and Lyle were tried separately at their first trials before being tried together at their second, at which point they were convicted of first-degree murder. 
Hochman’s predecessor, George Gascón, had previously requested a reduced sentence for the brothers in October. The Menendez brothers’ resentencing hearing was scheduled for December 11 but was postponed until January 2025.
“This is an important decision, although that decision is not going to get a more rigorous review of the facts and law than any other decision,” Hochman told <a href="https://www.nbc.com/nbc-nightly-news/video/exclusive-new-la-district-attorney-weighs-in-on-menendez-case/NBCN220549973">NBC News</a>.
“While they’re called the Menendez Brothers case, there’s an Erik Menendez case and a Lyle Menendez case,” he continued. “So we will look at each case separately, which is the way they actually should be handled.”
The new DA also removed two deputy district attorneys who had petitioned to have Erik and Lyle’s sentences reduced, per <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/12/17/erik-lyle-menendez-resentenced-separately-la-da-nathan-hochman/">New York Daily News</a>.
“We’re going to go through all that evidence and weigh all the factors and ultimately come to the judge and say, to the judge, here’s all the records,” Hochman told Deadline last week. “Here are your options. And make sure that whatever decision is ultimately made is the best-informed decision possible.”
“I’ve gotten access now to more and more of the files that were confidential, the transcripts from the actual trials,” he went on. “We’re looking through the testimony, as opposed to the highlights of testimony that people have been happy to share. We’re looking at the law dealing with resentencing as well as the law dealing with the habeas situation.”
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1734465856887000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0yoXh27k1XJufgc_qcfvEq">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a>
Hochman beat Gascon in a landslide and describes himself as “in the middle,&#8221; while his predecessor had earned a reputation for being soft on crime. 
“I’m telling you I reject [mass incarceration], I reject both extremes,” Hochman told <a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/nathan-hochman-menendez-brothers-los-angeles-sanctuary-laws-1236202300/">Deadline</a>. “I reject extreme policies. I come down in the middle. I call it the hard work middle, or the hard middle, because it requires you to do the work. Blanket policies are inherently reckless and lazy. The middle requires you look at each case, individually. That’s what I’m going to do.&#8221;
Erik and Lyle Menendez were 18 and 21 years old when they killed their parents, citing self-defense as their motive after years of alleged sexual, emotional, and physical abuse. 
The prosecution argued that the brothers’ motive was really their $14 million inheritance.

Murder

U.S.

The district attorney who refused to seek the maximum sentence for Laken Riley’s killer is one of three Soros-backed prosecutors to lose re-election this month.
District Attorney (DA) Deborah Gonzalez of Georgia’s Western Judicial Circuit, who made headlines for her soft treatment of convicted murderer Jose Ibarra, lost her re-election to challenger Kalki Yalamanchili by over 75% of the vote. 
Gonzalez was an active member of the organization Fair &amp; Just Prosecution (FJP), a Leftist advocacy group funded by billionaire George Soros, which dictates both the public policy and private staffing of prosecutorial offices around the country.
FJP’s efforts to hijack American justice were detailed in <a href="https://mrcfreespeechamerica.org/blogs/business/tim-kilcullen-joseph-vazquez-tom-olohan-dan-schneider/2024/08/12/law-dis-order-how" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Media Research Center’s August exposé</a>: “How The Soros Machine Directs and Controls Prosecutors Across America to Implement His Leftist Agenda.”
Gonzalez was joined in defeat by fellow FJP members including Los Angeles County DA George Gascón and Alameda County DA Pamela Price. Gascón and Price were two of the last three remaining members of another Soros group, the censorship-obsessed Prosecutors Alliance of California, which worked closely with Governor Gavin Newsom to push an anti-police and anti-free speech agenda.
Gascón, one of the founders of Prosecutors Alliance, lost to challenger Nathan Hochman by <a href="https://results.lavote.gov/#year=2024&amp;election=4324" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over 600,000 votes</a>. Similarly, Prosecutors Alliance member Price lost her recall election by <a href="https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/alameda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over 30%</a>. Their defeat has dealt a crushing blow to the organization and the Soros Machine backing it. Contra Costa County DA Diana Becton remains, and is arguably now <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/diana-becton-prosecutor-da-19895432.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California’s most radically Left-wing prosecutor</a>.
Ibarra, a Venezuelan national released into the United States by the Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security (DHS), beat Augusta University nursing student Laken Riley to death on February 22 of this year. Gonzalez chose not to pursue the death penalty, even though Ibarra had also attempted to rape Riley in broad daylight and had previously been charged with assaulting a child. Ibarra was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-jose-ibarra-found-guilty-of-killing-georgia-nursing-student-laken-riley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted of Riley’s murder</a> on November 20, just weeks after Yalamanchili’s victory.
Gascón, who was previously San Francisco DA, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240507003211/https://www.thenation.com/article/society/prosecutors-alliance-california/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">created the Prosecutors Alliance of California in 2020</a> with Cristine Soto Deberry, a Marin County politician and Newsom’s former deputy chief of staff. The Prosecutors Alliance, which was backed by the Soros-funded Tides Advocacy, was designed to be a far-Left replacement for the California District Attorneys Association (CDAA), which Gascón had <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240507003731/https://theappeal.org/politicalreport/george-gascon-leaves-californias-district-attorney-association/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">very publicly quit</a>. 
In August 2024, the Media Research Center (MRC) <a href="https://mrcfreespeechamerica.org/blogs/business/tim-kilcullen-joseph-vazquez-tom-olohan-dan-schneider/2024/08/12/law-dis-order-how" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published detailed communications</a> between the Prosecutors Alliance members showing their <a href="https://cdn.mrc.org/static/pdfuploads/Soros+Report_Law%26DisOrder.pdf-1723647180299.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">close relationship</a> with Newsom and FJP. FJP pressured the Alliance’s members to sign pledges vowing to refuse to enforce certain laws that ran afoul of leftist political positions.
In one instance, FJP got Prosecutor Alliance attorneys to pledge that it was a “<a href="https://cdn.mrc.org/static/pdfuploads/CommsBrady-List-Sign-On-Release-FINAL.pdf-1719622302665.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prosecutor’s obligation</a>” to create blacklists of police officers who would not be permitted to testify in court — thereby undermining the officers’ careers. To implement the blacklist for Los Angeles County, Gascón’s director for ethics has been accused of <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/los-angeles-da-aide-arraigned-on-improper-confidential-law-enforcement-records-use-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegally accessing private county personnel database files</a> to obtain the records of “over 1,600 statutorily-protected peace officer files” — a serious crime for which she was indicted.
Gascón was sued separately for over $1.5 million for retaliation against attorneys who objected to his unlawful order that they not pursue prosecutions under certain California “criminal cases involving minors, including his blanket ban on trying juveniles as adults,” <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/los-angeles-da-aide-arraigned-on-improper-confidential-law-enforcement-records-use-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Los Angeles Times</a>. The lawsuit was successful.
The Prosecutors Alliance successfully lobbied the California State Senate to pass a police censorship bill which mandated that elected prosecutors who accept campaign contributions from organizations supporting law enforcement (including unions) give up their authority to prosecute police officers. Had the censorship bill been enacted, police would effectively have been forbidden from using their own money for political advocacy against the millions in propaganda against them.
When the California State Assembly refused to pass the Prosecutors Alliance’s censorship legislation, the group’s attorneys lobbied the state bar association to bypass the legislature and impose the speech restrictions via their own byzantine internal procedure.

The Prosecutors Alliance’s members were Gascón, Price, Contra Costa County DA Diana Becton, San Francisco City &amp; County DA Chesa Boudin and San Joaquin County DA Tori Verber Salazar. Berkeley, Long Beach, Glendale, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Francisco and Stockton were among the many cities under the Prosecutors Alliance attorneys’ jurisdiction.
In 2022, Boudin lost his recall election and Verber Salazar <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/los-angeles-da-aide-arraigned-on-improper-confidential-law-enforcement-records-use-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lost her primary re-election bid</a>. Becton’s term is set to expire in 2026, but she may be <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/los-angeles-da-aide-arraigned-on-improper-confidential-law-enforcement-records-use-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">removed from office early</a> via a recall election.
Remaining Soros prosecutors like Becton face a new foe in tech entrepreneur Elon Musk. Musk has pledged to use his patriotic advocacy group America PAC to further combat Soros’s influence over America’s justice system.
“Something has to be done to kind of counter the damage that Soros has done to the American system,” Musk pledged in an <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/los-angeles-da-aide-arraigned-on-improper-confidential-law-enforcement-records-use-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">election day video</a> uploaded to his social media platform, X. “America PAC&#8217;s going [t] aim to weigh in heavily on the midterms and intermediate elections, as well as just doing common sense stuff like having DAs who prosecute violent criminals who are obviously a danger to people.”

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/meet-larry-krasner-the-rogue-prosecutor-wreaking-havoc-philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lost</a> a major appellate case last week against Michelle Henry, the State’s Democratic Attorney General. Although Henry was the putative winner, the real winners are the <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/meet-larry-krasner-the-rogue-prosecutor-wreaking-havoc-philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">682,000-plus people</a> who ride the transit system each day in and around the City of Brotherly Love.
Krasner, Philly’s Soros-funded <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/meet-larry-krasner-the-rogue-prosecutor-wreaking-havoc-philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rogue prosecutor</a>, sued Henry over a 2023 state law signed by Governor Josh Shapiro, called Act 40, which authorized the state’s attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor to handle all crimes on the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (<a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/meet-larry-krasner-the-rogue-prosecutor-wreaking-havoc-philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SEPTA</a>) transit system.
Act 40 was originally passed because Krasner’s pro-criminal policies, such as refusing to prosecute simple assault, theft, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and watering down felonies in serious cases, were endangering everyone who rides SEPTA. Robberies and aggravated assaults jumped more than 80% on SEPTA from 2019 through 2021, even though the system carried fewer riders because of the pandemic.
Upset that the state was infringing on his turf, however, Krasner claimed that the statute was unconstitutional for a variety of different reasons.
Last week, in the case Krasner v. Henry, Pennsylvania’s second highest court rejected all of Krasner’s arguments and upheld the law. As the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania noted in its 47-page <a href="https://www.pacourts.us/assets/opinions/Commonwealth/out/8MD24_6-14-24.pdf?cb=1">opinion</a>, the General Assembly determined that Krasner “permitted crime to metastasize within SEPTA.”
The court found that the Commonwealth’s purpose in establishing SEPTA was to “promote the safety and welfare of Commonwealth citizens,” and, that the statute enabling the creation of SEPTA made clear that it “shall in no way be deemed to be an instrumentality of any city or county or other municipality.” SEPTA, the court held, is an agency and instrumentality of the state itself.
Two of Krasner&#8217;s arguments were particularly enlightening, as they clearly demonstrate his contempt for the police and why he is the criminals’ best friend in Philadelphia.
First, despite irrefutable evidence to the contrary, Krasner claimed that he and his office vigorously prosecute those who commit crimes on SEPTA, and that any decrease in the number of cases his office has filed is due to a sharp decrease in arrests by SEPTA <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/meet-larry-krasner-the-rogue-prosecutor-wreaking-havoc-philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Transit Police</a> Department Officers.
Krasner’s “blame the police” rhetoric is one of his go-to responses, even though his policies of not prosecuting cases or holding violent criminals accountable are the main drivers of the crime spike in Philly.
Second, Krasner argued that Act 40 is unconstitutional because it would impair his ability to raise arguments in the defense of criminal suspects! That’s right, Krasner, a prosecutor, objected to this law because it would limit his ability to defend the very criminals he is meant to prosecute.
Thankfully, the Court of Appeals rejected that absurd agreement, writing that “the DA has no standing to raise arguments for criminal defendants.”
That’s what public defenders, or criminal defense attorneys are for.
But Krasner’s ridiculous posturing should come as no surprise. On the night he was first elected as the District Attorney, he <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/meet-larry-krasner-the-rogue-prosecutor-wreaking-havoc-philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the assembled crowd that he was a “public defender with power.”
The good news is things could be changing for Krasner — and the good people of Philadelphia — soon. Last Friday, the Attorney General appointed former prosecutor Michael Untermeyer as special prosecutor to investigate and prosecute crimes on SEPTA.
His appointment is significant, as Untermeyer used to work as an Assistant District Attorney in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office and ran against Krasner for District Attorney in 2017 but lost. Now he gets to do the work he would have done had he been elected.
Crime stinks in Philly, and everyone knows it. And even if some people in Philly won’t admit it, the reason is Krasner and his soft-on-crime policies.
No doubt, that’s why the Democratic Governor signed Act 40, and the Democratic Attorney General appointed Krasner’s previous opponent as special prosecutor.
Perhaps, now, they can clean up the mess Krasner has created.

Multnomah County, Oregon, District Attorney Mike Schmidt — who oversees the progressive bastion of Portland — lost his re-election bid on Tuesday night to a moderate candidate who promises to carry out tough-on-crime policies.
Schmidt, the George <a href="https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2024/05/multnomah-county-da-mike-schmidt-campaign-gets-boost-from-progressive-philanthropist-george-soros.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soros-backed</a> incumbent, fell to Nathan Vasquez, who previously served as the Multnomah County deputy prosecutor under Schmidt. The leftist DA conceded on Wednesday with results showing that Vazquez had secured around 54% of the vote, Portland&#8217;s NBC affiliate KGW 8 <a href="https://www.kgw.com/article/news/politics/elections/multnomah-county-district-attorney-race-election-results/283-e5b76f7a-9497-488b-b432-08dc9deec27d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
“It is looking as if I will not be serving another four years as Multnomah County District Attorney,&#8221; Schmidt said. &#8220;I have called Nathan Vasquez to congratulate him on his victory. While we do not always see eye to eye, I am committed to a smooth transition.&#8221;
On Tuesday night before the race was called, Vasquez said that he was &#8220;hopeful&#8221; that the direction of the community was about to change.
&#8220;This is a time where I think a lot of people in our community are looking for that belief, that hope, and I think tonight is going to be a change in that direction,&#8221; Vasquez told KGW 8. &#8220;And I really want to deliver that to our community in a way that feels positive and hopeful, so that everyone in this community feels included, everyone feels like they can have a safe community where they can go to parks, they can go down the street and can really enjoy this wonderful, amazing city and county that we live in, and I&#8217;m just so hopeful for tonight.&#8221;
Schmidt was elected in 2020, winning 77% of the vote. He started his role as the district attorney in August of that year, a term that began during the summer of the George Floyd riots that saw numerous businesses looted and vandalized and a police station <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/08/24/portland-protests-police-precinct-set-fire/3427950001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">set on fire</a>. One of Schmidt&#8217;s first acts as DA was to <a href="https://katu.com/news/local/multnomah-co-das-policy-on-protest-arrests-focused-on-property-damage-theft-violence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">institute</a> a new policy stating his office would not prosecute George Floyd demonstrators who were charged with certain crimes such as interfering with a police officer, disorderly conduct, criminal trespass, harassment, or rioting unless they committed “deliberate property damage, theft, or threat of force against another person.&#8221;
After the riots died down, Portland continued to face high rates of violent crime. Despite a decrease in violent crimes in 2023 in the city, the homicide rate in Portland remained higher than reported numbers prior to 2019, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting. Shoplifting arrests also skyrocketed by 88% in 2023.
Schmidt&#8217;s opponent Vasquez also promised to crack down on open-air drug use in Oregon&#8217;s largest city, a problem that has persisted since Oregon voters decriminalized possession of small amounts of drugs such as fentanyl and heroin in 2020. Last month, Oregon Democratic Governor Tina Kotek <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/oregon-recriminalizes-drug-possession" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> a bill into law that again criminalized the possession of hard drugs.

“The voters have made it clear that they are ready to take our county in a new and safer direction,&#8221; Vasquez <a href="https://apnews.com/article/portland-oregon-progressive-district-attorney-election-756eff76ca7391a18fd703417b788f94" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Wednesday. &#8220;I am committed to ending open air drug dealing and drug use while helping connect individuals to treatment, to rebuilding the broken relationships between the DA’s office and the community, and to ensuring that victims are the number one priority of my office.&#8221;

Leftist DA Overseeing Crime-Ridden Portland Loses Re-Election Bid

Election

Portland

You might think that it would be difficult to cause any kind of serious problem in a Wendy&#8217;s drive-thru. The concept is pretty simple: You sit in the car, and when it&#8217;s your turn, you drive up, get your order, and then you drive off. In an orderly society, it&#8217;s a pretty straight-forward, fool-proof system.
But in the days after George Floyd was canonized, of course, all rules were suspended. Things started breaking down. Accordingly, on June 12 of that year, a 27-year-old man named Rayshard Brooks decided to treat the Wendy&#8217;s drive-thru like a motel room. He got drunk out of his mind and passed out in his car, as he waited to get his hamburger and frosty. Then, when two police officers arrived in an attempt to keep the drive-thru moving, Brooks started fighting with one of the officers, stole his taser, and began running away. A few seconds later, Brooks turned around and pointed the stolen taser at the officers, at which point he was shot and killed. It was not only a justified police shooting but perhaps one of the most justified police shootings ever caught on film.
Nevertheless, just a few days later, the top prosecutor in Fulton County Georgia, a guy named Paul Howard, decided to charge both officers on the scene with a variety of crimes. One of the officers was hit with aggravated assault charges. The other cop — the officer who shot Brooks — was charged with capital murder. In other words, Howard tried to give a cop the death sentence for the crime of simply doing his job. And it&#8217;s all because, as Paul Howard argued, they didn&#8217;t seem afraid after they had shot Rayshard Brooks and neutralized the threat he presented — as if they should have been cowering behind their cruisers until backup arrived. That was the actual argument Howard made.
This makes no sense whatsoever, which is why a couple of years later — after these officers’ careers and lives were destroyed — a special prosecutor dropped the charges. Howard was then voted out of office. This obviously incompetent, politically motivated D.A. was gone. He lost the ability to bring frivolous charges against anyone else ever again.

Unfortunately for the people of Atlanta and the rest of the country, Howard&#8217;s replacement was a woman named Fani Willis. And over the past few days, it&#8217;s become clear that Willis is somehow an even less dignified, more incompetent, and more corrupt version of the man she replaced. 
Willis is not simply trying to prosecute two police officers to appease the mob, as unforgivable as that is. Willis is instead trying to imprison the leading candidate in the U.S. presidential election. And she&#8217;s doing it, apparently, to enrich herself and her boyfriend, Nathan Wade.
Last week, Willis had to answer questions under oath in a hearing about her romantic relationship with Wade. That&#8217;s because Willis has told the court that the relationship began only after she named Wade — a family lawyer with no experience prosecuting RICO cases — as a key lawyer overseeing the Trump RICO prosecution. 
But Willis&#8217; claim was contradicted in the hearing by a former co-worker in Willis&#8217; office, who said the relationship actually began back in 2019:

This is obviously a big problem for Fani Willis, Nathan Wade, and the entire Trump prosecution. If they lied to the court, they can be disqualified or even disbarred on that basis alone. But in context, the reason for the lie is even more important. Fani Willis, by hiring Wade, was able to direct hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars into his bank account. And the two apparently used that money to fund a lavish lifestyle — which means the RICO prosecutors might be guilty of a little RICO themselves.
You&#8217;ve probably heard this analysis from other pundits already, so I won&#8217;t belabor it. What I will emphasize, however, because a lot of people are too polite to say it out loud, is that above and beyond her obvious corruption, Fani Willis is a complete moron. Put aside the fact that she&#8217;s trying to sabotage the upcoming election in a flagrant act of election interference. Fani Willis — the chief law enforcement officer in Fulton County, Georgia — is not even remotely close to being a bright woman. This hearing made that very clear. And the implications could not be any more significant. 
There are too many clips to show you that prove this point, so here&#8217;s just a couple. Watch:

In that second clip you just saw, Fani Willis says she&#8217;s not a &#8220;hostile witness&#8221; because she wants to testify. But the designation of &#8220;hostile witness&#8221; has nothing to do with wanting to testify or not. It means that the witness has adverse interests to the party questioning her — which is the normal situation on cross-examination, but an unusual situation on direct examination. Being a &#8220;hostile witness&#8221; basically means that the lawyers can ask the witness more aggressive leading questions on direct examination, as if it&#8217;s a cross-examination. You&#8217;d think Willis would know this, as the D.A. of Fulton County. But apparently not.
Fani Willis also doesn&#8217;t appear to understand the legal implications of other claims she made during her testimony. For example, in the first clip you just saw, Willis states, &#8220;When I took out a large amount of money on my first campaign, I kept some of the cash of that.&#8221; I&#8217;m not a campaign finance expert, but that seems like the kind of statement that you don&#8217;t want to make under oath. Using campaign funds for personal expenses is generally frowned upon.
To be fair, elsewhere in the hearing, Willis does say that she took money out of her retirement account to fund her campaign for local judge (before she ran for D.A.) — so it&#8217;s possible she&#8217;s referring to her own money here. But it&#8217;s not clear whether she told donors to her D.A. campaign about this arrangement.
That would certainly be the professional thing to do. But, after watching Fani Willis&#8217; other testimony, we have reason to doubt her professionalism, to put it mildly. Watch:

It used to be that prosecutors displayed some level of respect for the office they held. These are people with the power to use the force of law to imprison and bankrupt pretty much anyone in the state. They&#8217;re elected, supposedly, to uphold fundamental principles of fairness and justice — without which we do not have the rule of law. When D.A.s start acting like sassy waitresses, or trashy pop stars, then people, understandably, lose all faith in the judicial system. If they have no integrity, then the system has no integrity.
It doesn&#8217;t help matters that Fani Willis was reportedly <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13092639/fani-willis-dress-backwards-georgia-misconduct-hearing.html">wearing</a> her dress backwards, and her flag-pin sideways. Now, for the record, this isn&#8217;t confirmed. Fashion experts on the internet have identified two dresses that are similar to the one Fani Willis was wearing — one with the zipper in the back, and one with the zipper in the front, as Fani Willis was wearing it. Here&#8217;s a side by side of the two dresses in question:

If you&#8217;re more inclined to pursue this question than I am, you can compare those images to the pictures of Fani Willis testifying. And you can come to your own conclusion on whether she&#8217;s wearing the dress properly. But the point is, given everything else about Willis&#8217; testimony, it&#8217;s completely believable that she doesn&#8217;t know how to dress herself. If she doesn&#8217;t know anything about the law, even though she&#8217;s a lawyer, then putting clothes on could also present challenges. This is the level of faith that people have in Fani Willis, and deservedly so.
As a result, right now it looks like Willis stands a real chance of getting booted off this case. Her performance was that bad, to say nothing of the fact she apparently lied to the court. But even if she and Nathan Wade are ultimately disqualified from continuing this prosecution, the reality is that there are many more equally incompetent prosecutors waiting to take their place in the state of Georgia.

Take this footage from a couple of months ago, for example. It&#8217;s from the prosecutor&#8217;s closing argument in the case of Hannah Payne. For background, Hannah Payne witnessed an impaired driver run a red light, cause a car accident, then flee the scene. Payne realized no one had the guy&#8217;s license plate, so she gave chase and pulled in front of the guy. Then she says the man grabbed her wrist through the window of the car, and the gun went off, killing him.
Whether you think Hannah Payne is guilty of murder or not, based on those facts, you have to concede it&#8217;s a complex case. Hannah Payne&#8217;s life is on the line, and it&#8217;s clear she&#8217;s not a malicious person who goes around shooting people at random. Plus, she had reason to worry that this impaired driver was going to cause more accidents. So given that background, you might assume that the prosecutor in this case would be a serious person, well-versed in the law, who&#8217;s able to communicate professionally to the jury.
Instead, here&#8217;s the prosecutor who was assigned to Hannah Payne&#8217;s case. Watch:

&#8220;She shoulda minded her own bid-ness,&#8221; says the prosecutor. Then she pauses for a while, just to let the line sink in. This was her &#8220;Clarence Darrow&#8221; moment and you can tell she&#8217;s proud of it. The rest of us are wondering whether there are any prosecutors in Georgia who don&#8217;t act like Fani Willis. Is there a single prosecutor in the state who&#8217;s capable of speaking and acting like an actual lawyer? Again, this is the major crimes division. This is a homicide case. And this is the best they can offer?
The problem isn&#8217;t just confined to Georgia, of course, although it appears to be especially acute there. We&#8217;re living under a tyranny of mediocre morons. These morons are representing the government in court, where they can send you to prison for the rest of your life. In some cases they&#8217;re also enforcing the law on the street, as police officers. And they have the complete and total backing of the government. There&#8217;s no effort underway to restore competence to any of these positions. What you see is what you get. 
In fact, the government is seemingly encouraging these people to act as dumb as they possibly can, just to erode the public trust as much as possible. That&#8217;s the only explanation for why the NYPD just sent out its dance team — because apparently, police departments have dance teams now — to perform on television. Watch:

You&#8217;ll find various responses to this video online in which people try to find the silver lining here. &#8220;At least they&#8217;re getting exercise in,&#8221; is one of the common refrains. You might also say that, hey, they’re just trying to give the female cops something to do. 
But really there&#8217;s only one bit of good news in all of this, especially when you look at the Fani Willis case — which is that the mediocre morons who have power over us are extremely easy to expose. They&#8217;ll go on television and reveal how incompetent and corrupt they are. They just can&#8217;t help themselves, that&#8217;s the good news. The bad news is that there&#8217;s an endless supply of these amoral half wits out there, waiting to replace their bosses when they&#8217;re gone. And in some cases they&#8217;re even worse, somehow, than the failures they replace. Get rid of Paul Howard, and you&#8217;ll get Fani Willis. This is the pattern. 
What happens when you get rid of Fani Willis? Very soon, for better or worse, we might find out.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a bias in the brain in which you tend to think you are better at something than you actually are. The Dunning-Kruger effect is widely held across a variety of skill sets. In the United States, it&#8217;s generally held by a lot of people who think they are smarter than they actually are — but it&#8217;s particularly held by people who have been made untouchable by the system.
Now, if you&#8217;ve been made untouchable by the system and you&#8217;ve just been rising through the ranks for years based on your intersectional identity, you are going to think you are much better and more competent than you actually are.
This is the story of Fani Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney.
She&#8217;s the person who&#8217;s brought charges against former President Trump based on supposed violation of RICO law, which really does not apply in this particular case. It&#8217;s certainly a legal stretch, but she&#8217;s been attempting to make a name for herself. If she can get Trump on a state charge, he can&#8217;t pardon himself if he is president of the United States.
Things started to fall apart for Willis over the last couple of months. She was a heroine in the media. She was a “hard-charging prosecutor”; she was going to finally get Trump.
But, as it turns out, she is a prime example of the Dunning-Kruger effect — but with the intersectional twist because she apparently thought she could get away with literally anything.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
As we found out, the Fulton County people did not actually receive that D.A.
According to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushard/2024/02/15/fulton-county-da-fani-willis-testifies-in-evidentiary-hearing-heres-what-she-said/?sh=79a485d410c2">Forbes</a>:
<blockquote>Willis faces accusations she violated state conflict of interest and public money laws over claims from a group of Trump’s co-defendants that she engaged in an “improper, clandestine personal relationship.” Court documents have also shown Wade and Willis traveled together on two vacations, while state records reveal Wade earned more than $650,000 working with Willis. </blockquote>
On Thursday, there was an evidentiary hearing in court in which the defendants asked that Willis essentially be removed from the case for conflict of interest and she, for some odd reason, decided she was going to testify. This came after she had basically destroyed her own timeline. 
The question was whether she had hired this guy because he was super-competent and she had paid him and then they fell in love and they started going on cruises and having sex and all the rest — or whether she had known the guy for a while and decided to bring in her lover to pay him state taxpayer dollars and then go on vacations with state taxpayer dollars, not based on the interest of the people of Fulton County, but based on her own personal interest in the guy she was sleeping with.
One of Willis&#8217; employees and pals explained that Willis was actually in a romantic relationship with Nathan Wade as early as 2019.
There are two issues in this evidentiary hearing.
Issue number one is when Willis started dating Wade and if it was earlier than the appointment, which suggests, of course, that she appointed him because she was sleeping with him.
Issue number two is, even if she was dating him after they got together on the case, was she then expending taxpayer dollars on him in ways she wouldn&#8217;t on any other employee?
Willis failed on both accounts. The court then called Wade who tried to deny he was dating Willis in 2020. Instead, he tried to claim that because he had a form of cancer, it was not possible for him to have a romantic relationship because he was trying to isolate from others.
It didn&#8217;t go over amazingly well in court after he was questioned. He finally admitted he actually, indeed, could have been dating her and was paid for a bunch of stuff that was really not appropriate.
At that point, Willis decided she had to fight.
Every defense counsel will tell you, “Do not get on the stand.” Very few people are good witnesses in their own defense. They&#8217;re really bad witnesses.
Willis happens to suffer from two things: One, she&#8217;s not telling the truth, and two, she happens to be one of the most off-putting witnesses in human history. The Dunning-Kruger effect that I discussed? That fact was obviously present with Willis. It was almost beyond comprehension.
This lady thinks she&#8217;s good at her job, that she is convincing, and comes off as honest, forthright, and righteous. Yet she comes off as precisely the opposite. Instead, she comes off as obnoxious, lying, and scheming, and it&#8217;s really bad. So Willis truly blew up on the stand.
She started off by suggesting that making her even answer questions is contrary to democracy, which is weird because it is well within the boundaries of democracy to ask whether the D.A. who is prosecuting Trump for political reasons is, in fact, a corrupt person who&#8217;s having sex with the other prosecutor and paying him vast quantities of taxpayer cash while taking vacations with him.
She made the claim that the defendant&#8217;s interests are contrary to democracy — the claim being that the defendants tried to overturn an election; therefore, she is completely scot-free on the question of whether she is, in fact, a corrupt public servant.
She went full-out Al Pacino in “And Justice for All”: “You&#8217;re out of order! The whole trial is out of order!”
In her testimony, she <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/live-blog/trump-ny-hush-money-case-misconduct-hearing-fani-willis-live-updates-rcna138597" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>: “I object to you getting records. You&#8217;ve been intrusive into people&#8217;s personal lives. You&#8217;re confused. You think I&#8217;m on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. I&#8217;m not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial.”
It&#8217;s an evidentiary hearing to determine whether she should be disqualified. So technically, in this particular portion of the trial, her actions are on trial.
Brazenness is not going to substitute for actually being innocent.
And it got worse and worse for her. She started yelling that the media lied about her, which is weird because, again, she&#8217;s the one who apparently lied a lot.
She said the money she gave Wade “&#8230;was never that serious. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever handed him more than $2,500 in a reimbursement. So we&#8217;re not talking about $20,000 in cash. I don&#8217;t have $20,000 in cash right now. The most I ever gave him, I know I gave him $2,500 when we went to Belize because we went to one hotel and then we went to a second hotel. That $2,500 I actually gave him while we were still in Belize. I know that the Aruba trip, the one that you describe with his mom, I think I gave him about $2,000 for that trip.”
She was asked why she paid him back in cash. There&#8217;s no record of her actually reimbursing him for half of the travel.
<h4><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></h4>
What she did looks like a kickback. If I hire my wife or anyone else who is in a close personal relationship with me and pay them a lot of money, and then we take cruises together that the other person is paying for, the idea is that I&#8217;m supposed to pay for my half to demonstrate that I&#8217;m not actually stealing money from the government.
But there&#8217;s no record of her having paid Wade back. Instead, she said she paid him back in cash. She was asked why exactly she paid Wade back in cash all the time and where it came from. She replied, “I do know where it came from. It came from my sweat and tears.”
Trump&#8217;s attorney is going to be able to make the very obvious and clear case that Willis ginned up this entire case so she could, in high-profile fashion, hire the guy she was sleeping with so she could go on an expensive cruise with him.
Even on MSNBC, analyst Caroline Polisi <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/game-over-msnbc-legal-analyst-declares-fani-willis-case-against-trump-dead-after-shocking-courtroom-revelationjw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted</a> that the case against Trump is possibly dead in the water. “Don&#8217;t let the legalese fool you. This is epic. This is monumental. If things are going in the direction we think, Fani Willis lied to the court, it&#8217;s game over for her. She will be disqualified.”
Fani Wallis got her wish. Donald Trump made her famous. Donald Trump made her prominent. Donald Trump may end up putting her in jail, which is just hysterical.
So we bid a fond farewell to Fani Willis whose career is basically over because, once again, the Dunning-Kruger effect is undefeated for a lot of people.

Fani Willis And The Dunning-Kruger Effect

Ben Shapiro

Court

An investigator working for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/georgia">Georgia</a>&#8216;s Fulton County District Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fulton-county-prosecutors-have-another-recording-of-trump-pressuring-georgia-house-speaker-to-overturn-election-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fani Willis</a> accidentally shot and wounded herself with a firearm, according to authorities.
The Fulton County Sheriff&#8217;s Office <a href="https://twitter.com/FultonSheriff/status/1705226021018951711">said</a> on Friday it was gathering information on a &#8220;shooting incident&#8221; at the Fulton County Courthouse and that there was no active threat.
A follow-up post to X said the shooting was &#8220;an accidental discharge&#8221; by a Fulton County District Attorney’s Office investigator.
The investigator — who was not publicly identified — &#8220;wounded herself,&#8221; but she was &#8220;not critically wounded,&#8221; the sheriff&#8217;s office <a href="https://twitter.com/FultonSheriff/status/1705231240536678763">added</a>.
Authorities said the woman had shot herself in the leg, and a deputy provided her aid until paramedics arrived on the scene, <a href="https://www.ajc.com/news/crime/breaking-fulton-county-da-investigator-shoots-self-at-courthouse/4TFXZJ7CT5ECZB3RJFZRC6QBUQ/">according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution</a>.
Willis and her office have drawn increased attention with a high-profile inquiry into former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>.
Trump and 18 allies, accused of scheming to overturn the results of the 2020 election, were indicted last month as part of the years-long investigation.
The former president was arrested and booked at the Fulton County Jail, after which Trump was released on a $200,000 bond, and a mugshot was disclosed.
Trump and his co-defendants have pleaded not guilty in the RICO case, and the trials could get underway during the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-trumps-trial-schedule-lines-up-with-the-2024-election-calendar">heart of the 2024 election cycle</a>.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-14949">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
The former president is facing indictments in three other criminal cases as he runs a 2024 campaign seeking a second term in the White House, including a 2020 election case and a separate documents case brought by special counsel Jack Smith. He is also contending with a hush-money case in New York.
Trump has broadly denied any wrongdoing and claims that politically motivated prosecutors are conducting a “witch hunt” against him.
Willis, a Democrat, took office in early 2021 after <a href="https://www.wabe.org/a-conversation-with-fulton-countys-new-district-attorney-fani-willis/">winning</a> an election for the office in the preceding November.
When she delivered <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj2Lonk2Qz4">remarks</a> after the Trump indictment in August while flanked by prosecutors and investigators, Willis touted how her office had already indicted more than 12,000 cases during her tenure — including ten prior RICO indictments.
&#8220;We followed the same process: we look at the facts, we look at the law, and we bring charges,&#8221; Willis added.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis

Investigator Working For Fulton County DA Willis Accidentally Shoots Herself, Authorities Say

General

Shooting

Last night, for the first time in American history, we saw a mugshot of a former president. Donald Trump was officially arrested at Fulton County jail in Georgia. Unlike with the other 900 indictments, this time they decided to take and publish his mugshot. There was, of course, no legitimate reason to take a mugshot of a former president. The whole purpose of a mugshot is to provide law enforcement with photographic documentation of the suspect. But Donald Trump is the most recognizable and famous person in the world — possibly in the history of the world. When he shows up for trial they aren’t going to have to refer back to his mugshot to make sure it’s really him. There isn’t going to be anyone saying, “Wait, is that Donald Trump? It’s hard to tell. Pull up his mug shot.”
So why did they take this step? What was the point? The point of course was pure humiliation and vengeance. It was also to give the DA, Fani Willis, a political trophy to put on her wall. It’s something that she wants to use when she inevitably runs for the Senate, or governor, in a few years. Of course, it all backfired, as it was always destined to. The mugshot instantly became an iconic image, and had exactly the effect that any half-conscious political observer knew it would have — rallying the base around Trump. Trump is now fundraising off of the image — and smartly so — and will likely raise many millions just from the mugshot alone. In fact, we can say that if Donald Trump does manage to get elected to the presidency again, Fani Willis will be largely responsible for it. She is the most effective campaign manager Trump has ever had, even if unintentionally.
But even if this all obviously works to Trump’s advantage, that doesn’t make it any less outrageous. Nor should we be distracted from the lessons that this moment is trying to teach us. The most obvious one is that the Left is beyond caring about even the pretense of legitimacy — something they used to pretend to care deeply about. In fact, through this whole ordeal, they’re not even acting like they&#8217;ve stopped some grave threat to democracy — because they know they&#8217;ve done the exact opposite of that. They are wielding raw political power for the sole, lawless purpose of incarcerating someone who stands a very real chance of winning the presidential election in a little over a year.
In fact, many on the Left don&#8217;t want Trump incarcerated — they want him killed. An MSNBC anchor just openly fantasized about Donald Trump getting shanked and murdered in prison. Watch:

We&#8217;ve played a lot of demented clips on this show over the years. That one is up there. Not long ago, Nicole Wallace was running comms for the White House during the Iraq war. Back then, she had to pretend to care about the deaths of innocent people at the hands of establishment Washington.
These people will do everything they can to silence Donald Trump. MSNBC and CNN, after obsessively covering Trump&#8217;s trip to Georgia all day, made a point of cutting away from his remarks yesterday. Watch:

If the statement &#8220;we&#8217;ll get sued if we air the remarks of the former president after his indictment&#8221; is, in fact, remotely accurate, then any self-respecting journalist would air the remarks anyway. They&#8217;d fight any consequences for it in court. If the First Amendment protects anything, it&#8217;s airing the words of a former president at a time like this. But MSNBC&#8217;s statement isn&#8217;t true, of course. It&#8217;s a dumb jab at Fox News over the Dominion lawsuit, and it protects their viewers from hearing about the substance in these indictments, or lack thereof. That&#8217;s why they do it.
Here&#8217;s what they&#8217;re not telling viewers at MSNBC. The Fulton County DA, Fani Willis, has indicted Donald Trump, along with 18 co-defendants, for the following crimes: Offering legal advice to the president, tweeting things that Fani Willis doesn&#8217;t like, and, in one particularly egregious case, getting someone&#8217;s phone number.
The indictment states: &#8220;On or about the 21st Day of November 2020, Mark Randall Meadows sent a text message to United States Representative Scott Perry from Pennsylvania and stated, &#8216;Can you send me the number for the speaker and the leader of PA Legislature. POTUS wants to chat with them.&#8217; This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.&#8221;
Think about what a remarkable paragraph that is. Mark Meadows, in his capacity as chief of staff to Donald Trump, was seeking to obtain the phone number of some politicians in Pennsylvania. And because the reason for that request was <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/26/politics/mark-meadows-texts-scott-perry-key-role-overturn-election/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">investigating</a> potential voter fraud, Fani Willis says Mark Meadows needs to go to prison, along with more than a dozen other Trump advisers.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-matt-walsh-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
One of those advisers is John Eastman. What&#8217;s his offense? He advanced the legal theory that alternative slates of electors could be seated if election fraud was found. That&#8217;s apparently criminal now. It wasn&#8217;t illegal in 1960, when JFK&#8217;s electors from Hawaii <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/07/1960-electoral-college-certificates-false-trump-electors-00006186" target="_blank" rel="noopener">met secretly</a> and submitted their own certificates to Washington, saying he had won the state. As POLITICO reported, &#8220;the Hawaii Democrats used virtually the same language&#8221; that Trump electors in five states &#8220;used in their effort to upend the 2020 race.&#8221; Ultimately, Kennedy&#8217;s electors turned out to be the legitimate ones, after a recount determined Kennedy had won the state.
Anyone looking at that episode in 1960 would say it&#8217;s a good thing that alternative electors can be sent to Washington, in the case of a recount that changes the result of the election. But now that&#8217;s criminal. It&#8217;s a &#8220;RICO violation,&#8221; supposedly. John Eastman and several other lawyers are now facing several years in prison because they did exactly what JFK&#8217;s electors did — and were vindicated for doing — in 1960. David Shafer, who was one of Trump&#8217;s alternate electors from Georgia, has also been indicted.
Ray Smith is facing jail time, too. His offense? Per Axios, Smith, &#8220;gathered witnesses to testify in hearings before Georgia lawmakers in Dec. 2020 about alleged problems with the state&#8217;s election.&#8221; That&#8217;s not allowed anymore.
Neither is tweeting about these hearings, apparently.The indictment states: &#8220;On or about the 3rd day of December 2020, Donald John Trump caused to be tweeted from the Twitter account @RealDonaldTrump, &#8216;Georgia hearings now on @OANN. Amazing!&#8217; This was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.&#8221; For the crime of tweeting about a hearing about election fraud, and related offenses, Fani Willis wants to send Trump and 18 of his associates to prison.
And she wants to do it very quickly. Willis just <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23926007-georgia-v-trump-special-trial-date-motion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> a request with the court for this trial to take place in just two months — beginning on October 23. So, for this unprecedented criminal trial of 19 defendants, based on a completely novel and insane legal theory, she wants the defense to have a total of two months to prepare. Is that constitutional? Honestly, no one in the DA&#8217;s office seems to care.
It&#8217;s at this point that it&#8217;s fair to look into the Fulton County DA, Fani Willis. It&#8217;s long been known she&#8217;s a Democrat and an opponent of Donald Trump. In itself, that&#8217;s not necessarily disqualifying. Everyone, even DA&#8217;s, has a right to his or her own political opinions.
But Fani Willis has gone far beyond that. Just a year ago, she hosted a fundraiser for a Democratic candidate running against one of the targets of her election investigation, a state senator named Burt Jones. Jones was one of Trump&#8217;s alternate electors. Here&#8217;s how the judge responded when he found out about this:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Judge on Fani Willis appearance of conflict in Trump probe due to fundraiser: &#039;The optics are horrif" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KsqzZyNeq9M?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is a DA who has to be told by a judge not to host fundraisers for the political opponents of politicians she plans to prosecute. She&#8217;s that dumb and corrupt. By the way, Jones wasn&#8217;t indicted along with the other 19 defendants, maybe because Fani Willis knew the judge would throw it out. She blew that prosecution. 
But if you look at Fani Willis&#8217; social media feeds, as Benny Johnson did the other day, then you&#8217;ll come to the conclusion that actually, she&#8217;s blown all 19 of these prosecutions. Willis&#8217; feed is littered with posts casting doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 election before the vote totals suddenly shifted against Trump.
For example, &#8220;Georgia could determine who is our next president,&#8221; she wrote on November 4, 2020. &#8220;A TEAM of lawyers needs to watch them count every single VOTE. They can start in Fulton where we are having water leaks. What ballots are they throwing out? Georgia lets give an honest accounting. No stunts!&#8221;
In 2018, Willis said it was suspicious that local election commissioners hadn&#8217;t approved a recount of some votes in Fulton County. &#8220;You all better start paying attention to what is really going on,&#8221; she wrote. She also argued that the Secretary of State &#8220;controls elections,&#8221; adding, &#8220;I wonder if we yet realize that is an important role?” She also posted a lot of BLM propaganda, worships Kamala Harris, and owns a mug saying she&#8217;s a &#8220;proud Democrat.&#8221;
So we can conclude that Fani Willis is something of a politically motivated election denier. As always, the Left is guilty of doing exactly what they accuse their opponents of doing. The obvious point is that Donald Trump&#8217;s social media posts, if they are criminal, then so are Fani Willis&#8217;. Her prosecution of Donald Trump, based on her posts, is an &#8220;overt act&#8221; in furtherance of her conspiracy to keep Donald Trump out of the White House. 
Will Republicans indict Fani Willis? If Republicans retake the federal government, will they jail her for election interference? Ask any conservative right now, and they&#8217;ll tell you it will never happen. And they&#8217;re probably right. We&#8217;re seeing a vast difference in tactics right now between the two major political parties. Conservatives would never dream of dragging, say, George Soros into court on some pretext for the sole purpose of harassing him. Liberals, on the other hand, have no problem <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-spacex-discriminating-against-asylees-and-refugees-hiring" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suing</a> Elon Musk for not hiring enough refugees. They relish every opportunity to use state power to punish their opponents. 
With each passing month, they&#8217;re getting more comfortable doing it. First, they target grandmothers walking around the Capitol. Then they jail Douglas Mackey for some memes. Then they go after Donald Trump for his tweets and his &#8220;classified documents.&#8221; And now, in Georgia, they&#8217;re targeting not only Donald Trump, but more than a dozen of his advisers and associates. This will continue until they&#8217;re in jail, or all of their opponents are. After this latest indictment, it&#8217;s time to stop pretending otherwise.

Former US President Donald Trump surrenders to Fulton County Jail in election case

Trump’s Mugshot Backfires Massively On The Left

Trump's Mugshot Backfires Massively On The Left

MSNBC

The security guard who shot and killed a shoplifting suspect in self-defense spoke out about the incident Friday.
Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony is the security guard at Walgreens in downtown <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/san-francisco" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Francisco</a>. On April 27, Anthony shot and killed an alleged shoplifter, later identified as local transgender activist Banko Brown. In an interview with <a href="https://sfstandard.com/criminal-justice/walgreens-shooting-guard-who-killed-banko-brown-gives-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The San Francisco Standard</a>, Anthony spoke out about the incident and the effects it has had on him.
“[I’m] still dealing with it, still don&#8217;t understand and don&#8217;t have the time to reflect,” Anthony said. “It&#8217;s not like I go through this many times. This is a very life-changing matter.&#8221;
Anthony declined to elaborate on the details of the shooting. According to a <a href="https://sfstandard.com/criminal-justice/walgreens-killing-heres-what-we-know-about-banko-browns-shooting-by-a-security-guard/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thursday report</a> from the San Francisco Standard, police said that Anthony tried to stop Brown from shoplifting. He was still standing inside the store when Brown walked out. Brown then turned around and allegedly spat on Anthony and raised a hand to him. It was at that point that Anthony drew his gun and fired.
Anthony pointed out that security guards like him are under immense pressure in confrontational situations like that, and that it happened very fast. “This is important for more people to be more aware of,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It was happening too frequently.&#8221;
“It&#8217;s a lot to deal with. It&#8217;s a lot of pressure,&#8221; he added. &#8220;A person can only take so much,” Anthony went on to say. “When you are limited to certain options, something will happen.”
Being a security guard is difficult because you are on your own in more ways than one, he added. &#8220;Who has my back? Nobody?” he said. “You are left with no support. It&#8217;s a frightening feeling with a lot of people around you” who could do you harm, he added.
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said in a statement to news outlets Monday that after looking at surveillance footage and statements from both Anthony and witnesses, her office will not press charges against Anthony in the shooting. “The evidence clearly shows that the suspect believed he was in mortal danger and acted in self-defense,” the statement read, via The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/03/us/san-francisco-walgreens-shooting.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>. The statement called the situation a &#8220;tragedy,&#8221; but said they could not charge Anthony in good faith. “We cannot bring forward charges when there is credible evidence of reasonable self-defense,&#8221; the office stated. &#8220;Doing so would be unethical and create false hope for a successful prosecution.”

In separate comments to the <a href="https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/walgreens-shooting-sf-banko-brown-charges-18074873.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Francisco Chronicle</a>, Jenkins said that “both threats of force and physical force were used” in the confrontation. “It’s never easy to have to come to that conclusion,” Jenkins said, but “my personal feelings cannot be what governs my decision. It has to be the law.”
Jenkins&#8217; decision prompted outrage from activists in the community. One such activist, Lia McGeever, vented her outrage during a city Board of Supervisors meeting. Declaring that “trans-genocide of this country, in this city, has brought me to” it, McGeever tore off her face mask and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trans-activist-shrieks-at-sf-supervisors-over-release-of-guard-who-shot-trans-person" target="_blank" rel="noopener">screamed</a> for 10 seconds, pausing to yell, “Imagine that.” The activist screamed for another five seconds, then yelled, “I hate this. I hate what you’ve done to us. I hate what you’re doing to us. I hate you, board of supervisors. I hate you, London Breed. I hate you, Jenkins.”
After screaming for another five seconds, the activist yelled, “F*** you. F***ing ay, man. F***. Cowards.”

San Francisco Security Guard Who Shot Alleged Shoplifter Speaks Out

Transgender

Leftist billionaire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/george-soros" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Soros</a> denied that he knows or has donated money to <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manhattan</a> District Attorney <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/alvin-bragg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alvin Bragg</a>, who indicted former President <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> on Thursday, but the prosecutor’s campaign efforts were assisted by a group which Soros funds.
Bragg has called on Trump to surrender in New York for an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-to-be-arraigned-next-week-in-manhattan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arraignment</a> on Tuesday amid legal proceedings over his alleged hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election cycle. The case, which critics have characterized as politically motivated since Bragg has earned a reputation for his soft-on-crime approach with respect to violent offenses, induced additional scrutiny into Soros and his Open Society Foundation, which promotes Left-wing justice and education initiatives around the world.
Soros has invested more than $40 million to assist the campaigns of various left-wing prosecutors across the nation over the past decade, according to an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/george-soros-invested-40-million-to-help-elect-dozens-of-progressive-prosecutors-across-the-u-s-study" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> published last year by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund. He rejected the renewed criticism on Friday by contending that he has never met Bragg and has never directly supported him.
“As a matter of fact I did not contribute to his campaign and I don’t know him,” the billionaire said in <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/03/31/2023/one-good-text-george-soros-responds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">comments</a> provided to Semafor founding editor-at-large Steve Clemons. “I think some on the right would rather focus on far-fetched conspiracy theories than on the serious charges against the former president.”
Public records reveal that Soros <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/colorofchange-org/C00428557/donors/2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">donated</a> $1 million to the Color of Change PAC on May 14, 2021, which never contributed directly to the Bragg campaign but <a href="https://votingwhileblack.com/color-of-change-pac-endorses-alvin-bragg-for-manhattan-da/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endorsed</a> the candidate on May 8, 2021, and pledged to spend at least $1 million on direct mail, voter turnout initiatives, and other efforts on behalf of Bragg.
The Open Society Policy Center, which is funded by Soros, also contributed $7 million in 2021 to the social welfare organization linked to Color of Change, according to a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/22/trump-indictment-alvin-bragg-ties-to-george-soros-examined.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from CNBC.
Jonathan and Jennifer Soros, the son and daughter-in-law of George Soros, <a href="https://publicreporting.elections.ny.gov/ContributionsByRecipient/ContributionsByRecipient" target="_blank" rel="noopener">donated</a> a combined $20,000 to the Bragg campaign on April 26, 2021, and April 29, 2021. They also provided smaller contributions totaling less than $1,000 in the months leading to the campaign. Bragg won his primary by less than four percentage points.
Mainstream media outlets dismissed Republican officials and their criticism of the connections. Forbes published an <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2023/03/31/george-soros-denies-gop-conspiracy-suggesting-he-backed-da-bragg/?sh=9e898492641e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> labeling the concerns “conspiracy theories,” while The New York Times asserted in another <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/23/us/politics/alvin-bragg-george-soros-trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> that Soros “has for years been a boogeyman on the right.”

Soros defended his decision to finance Left-wing district attorneys in an <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-i-support-reform-prosecutors-law-enforces-jail-prison-crime-rate-justice-police-funding-11659277441" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opinion piece</a> last year for The Wall Street Journal and told Clemons on Friday that skeptics of his donations should read the article. “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,” Soros contended. “In fact, violent crime in recent years has generally been increasing more quickly in jurisdictions without reform-minded prosecutors.”
The United States had at least 75 prosecutors <a href="https://www.policedefense.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Justice_For_Sale_LELDF_report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">backed</a> by Soros as of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund analysis last year, which noted that the officials represent one in five Americans and half of the nation’s most populous cities and counties. They also preside over two in five homicides in the nation.
