George Soros Notches Another District Attorney Primary Victory

Soros poured nearly $1 million into Bexar County race

Yet another candidate for district attorney primarily financed by liberal billionaire George Soros has won a primary election—this time in Texas.

The Daily Caller notes that Joe Gonzales defeated incumbent Nico Lahood in Tuesday's Democratic primary for district attorney in Bexar County, Texas. Bexar County, which includes the city of San Antonio, is one of the most populous counties in the United States.

Soros infused nearly $1 million into the race through the Texas Justice & Public Safety PAC, a super PAC established for the sole purpose of backing Gonzales. Gonzales will now face Republican Tylden Shaeffer, a criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor in the county, on Nov. 6.

Soros operates in the same manner in almost every city that he enters: The wealthy financier will set up a super PAC, deposit funds well above what others would raise for a district attorney's race, back his candidate, refund himself any excess money at the conclusion of an election, and then dissolve the PAC.

Soros has already quietly funded a number of far-left district attorney candidates in a number of cities.

Prior to Gonzales, Soros most recently poured nearly $2 million in funding in Philadelphia's district attorney's race to support far-left candidate Larry Krasner. Krasner, who previously sued the police department more than 75 times and represented the likes of Black Lives Matter during his time as a defense attorney, defeated seven Democratic challengers thanks to major funding from Soros.

The committee that Soros established for Krasner, the Philadelphia Justice & Public Safety PAC, was also the first PAC ever established in the city of Philadelphia for a district attorney's race.

Republican prosecutor Beth Grossman, who ran against Krasner, told the Washington Free Beacon prior to the election that she worried Philadelphia would turn into another Baltimore or Chicago if Krasner were to win. Krasner defeated Grossman by nearly 40 percentage points in the overwhelmingly liberal city.

Krasner purged 31 prosecutors from the DA's office just four days after being sworn into his position. Most of the prosecutors pushed out of the office were in the homicide division, drug enforcement, and civil asset forfeiture units.

Soros has now funded DA races in Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, Louisiana, and New Mexico, among others. Soros-backed candidates have won nearly every election they've ran in due to their large cash advantage over their opponents.

The Democracy Alliance, a liberal dark money donor network where each member vows to send hundreds of thousands in funding to approved groups, which was co-founded by Soros, talked of ramping up involvement in district attorney races at their secretive fall investment conference late last year, documents obtained by the Free Beacon show.

One of these days, this man’s “heart” will simply wear out from all the evil he has done going back to his Nazi collaboration days.

Soros and his kindred souls are simply opening another front in their jihad to weaken America. They want to fill District Attorney offices with individuals who will prosecute as few real criminals as possible and, instead, focus on prosecuting progressives’ enemies for perceived crimes.

Reminiscent of Soros ‘Secretaries of State’ project. After the debacle in Florida in 2000-2001, Soros started funneling money to Dem Sec of State candidates in different states. He wanted assurances that it would be a manipulative Dem in place, if the Sec of State would be the deciding factor in tight races. The Dems already control a boatload of the judiciary, but more AG Dems would be helpful for the Dem Party I guess.

I heard this, and thought it was part of the “Secretaries of State” project.

That was/is the whole point, right? To spend the money to load the judiciary with radical leftists at every level?

I thought it was still active.

The socialist progressive tyrants always try to load up their people as prosecutors. Remember, the first thing Bill Clinton did after being elected was to fire every single US Attorney so he could put his hand picked flunkies in place.

At 87 years old chances are that Soros won’t live ‘til 2020 to see his best laid plans go up in flames.

Agree. But he has moved from the Sec’s of State to the AGs.

Ah. I thought that was all part and parcel.

Soros. Rope. Tree. Noose. Chair. Room temperature.

According to wiki, he has currently dual citizenship - US and Hungary.

Revoke the U.S. Citizenship of George Soros and Cancel His Passport

Drone him and seize his assets. What he is doing is an act of war.

Do any of the Republican candidates point out that “my opponent is being funded by George Soros”?

I doubt it.
