NEW YORK (AP) — As former President Donald Trump braces for a potential indictment related to hush money payments made on his behalf during his 2016 campaign, Republicans blasting the case as politically motivated are blaming a frequent target: George Soros.
The 92-year-old billionaire investor and philanthropist — who has been falsely accused of everything from hiring violent rioters to committing election crimes — doesn’t know and didn’t donate directly to the New York prosecutor steering the probe. But that hasn’t stopped Trump and other high-profile Republicans from accusing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who convened the grand jury investigating Trump, of acting on Soros’ behalf.
Experts say the claims exploit a gray area of campaign fundraising, where tenuous connections between PAC donors and the candidates who ultimately receive the funds can be unclear.
Scapegoating Soros, who is Hungarian American and Jewish, also perpetuates deep-rooted false ideas about Jewish people and immigrants to underscore the conspiracy theory that he is a shadowy villain orchestrating world events.
The misleading claims about Soros’ link to the Trump case stem from a real donation the philanthropist made in 2021. Soros gave $1 million to Color of Change PAC, a political group that ran an independent expenditure campaign to support Bragg’s district attorney run.
But Soros spokesman Michael Vachon confirmed the wealthy donor’s contribution to the PAC was not earmarked to be used for Bragg. Soros didn’t donate to Bragg’s campaign directly, and the two have never met in person, by phone or virtually, Vachon said.
Soros’ contribution to Color of Change PAC, which told The Associated Press it supports prosecutors looking to change the criminal justice system, follows a pattern for the investor.

A “pounce invocation.”
Notice in these whore’s columns republicans are assumed guilty and lefties are falsely accused…..
“To steer narrative”
Nope. No bias there.
The DNC corporate media paints all criticism of that unrepentant old Nazi collaborator as “anti-Semitic”.
AP is just a toxic waste dump.

How about the media reporting the news before their conclusions?
The narrative speaks for itself about the charge being nonsense. No need to mention that snake Soros as part of the argument.
I think that pretty much closes the case.
Right, as if Soros sits down at the kitchen table and writes the checks to all these clowns
I’m the Slime
-Frank Zappa
I am gross and perverted
I’m obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I’m the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think I’m delicious
With the stuff that I say
I’m the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I’m the slime oozin’ out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t go for help, no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That’s right, folks
Don’t touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, look at me go
I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, look at me go
Scapegoating Soros, who is Hungarian American and Jewish
/\
They forgot KAPO who worked with the natzies in ww2 against other Jews.
Spit.
Soros should be invoked every time one of his sock puppet prosecutors commits an outrage against public safety. And they should be demanding to know who’s pulling the strings of the cadaver in the White House-my guess is that is also Soros or Klaus Schwab.
Yes, again and again. Republican investigating democrats need criminal trial level proof before they even can question a democrat’s motives (and even then the charges are dismissed); while democrat’s proof lies simply within their feelings of the day.
AP’s biases, and lack of curiosity to investigate, belies its nature as a news organization. They should ask Hungary what they think of Soros.
AP = Associated Propaganda
Yes, but are they wrong?
