AG:  More Crime From Soros Funded DAs:  In a December 20 interview,  Attorney General Bill Barr warned that counties with District Attorneys whose elections were bankrolled by PACs funded by hedge-fund billionaire George Soros will likely lose police officers and suffer from more crime.  Charles Creitz of Fox News reports that, according to Barr, District Attorney candidates elected with hundreds of thousands of dollars from Soros’ Justice and Public Safety PAC, are not supportive of law enforcement and view their offices as vehicles for social change rather than the prosecution of criminals.  Recent examples include the election of two Virginia Commonwealth Attorneys who received just under $1 million from the Soros PAC to unseat two incumbents with 60 years of experience, while neither challenger had ever prosecuted a case in a state court.  The common thread among Soros-funded candidates is that they are liberal-progressives pledging to reduce prosecutions, shorten sentences for criminals and hold local police accountable for alleged racial bias.  Barr suggested that in those environments police ‘will either stop policing or they can move to a jurisdiction more hospitable.”
