Story summary

A federal judge has referred Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner for possible criminal prosecution over alleged perjury and other serious crimes, related to his office's 2022 effort to overturn a vicious murderer’s conviction. This case highlights Krasner's controversial approach, which includes releasing multiple violent offenders while repeatedly referring to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office as “Nazis.” Despite overseeing a significant increase in Philadelphia’s homicide rate, voters re-elected him twice. Krasner is one of the earliest advocates for what critics term "progressive prosecution," a philosophy that has gained traction but also faced scrutiny, such as with former Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby who was indicted on perjury charges and later convicted for financial fraud.

🔮 The paper last month impressed its usual critics by tracking down damning details of how Democratic candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign recruited a strawman candidate sharing the same name as the Republican incumbent, a ploy that, in concert with the state’s ranked-choice-voting rules, could make her the winner even if more people meant to vote for the real Dan Sullivan.
🔮 This “project will gut the heart of the American system of government” and lead us to the brink of a new “Civil War.”
🔮 Mayor Zohran Mamdani gave away the problem with his comments on the Bronx tragedy, first calling it a “horrific reminder of the danger that lithium-ion battery fires can pose” but then simply pleading with New Yorkers to “store any micromobility devices outside rather than inside their homes.”
🔮 The “effort by the liberal establishment to undo populism” will gain new life if “Democrats regain control” of Congress,” argues UnHerd’s Alicia Nieves.
🔮 It looks like Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s getting a wish-granted monkey-paw style: MTA buses are now de-facto free — at the price of making them increasingly dangerous and blowing a disastrous hole in the agency’s finances.

🔮 The recent rumor that Team Trump would push Hungarian ex-PM Viktor Orbán for the job looks to be a trial balloon by fringe MAGA freelancers, not anything President Donald Trump (nor Orbán himself!) is seriously considering — though it should serve as a warning that Trump will keep looking ever-further outside the box if the field remains nothing but business-as-usual “reformers.”

🔮 The Democratic machine, which prioritizes winning over morals, will disown her.
🔮 Meanwhile, Gov. Kathy Hochul is clearly signaling tax hikes next year to help fund Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialism-in-one-city, not to mention the state’s coming $32 billion budget hole.
🔮 Pandering to the excuse-makers, Banks claimed he urged then-mayor Eric Adams to ditch the test-in standard for five elite schools — but Adams refused to cave.
🔮 It may well be a federal crime, as a conspiracy to deceive and injure the public’s exercise of constitutional voting rights.

A federal judge just referred Krasner for possible criminal prosecution over alleged perjury and other serious crimes in his office’s 2022 effort to overturn a vicious murderer’s conviction; the evidence includes his repeated reference to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office as “Nazis.” This is only the latest case exposing the DA’s dubious drive to spring multiple violent perps, a habit that didn’t stop voters from re-electing him twice even as he oversaw horrific increases in his city’s homicide rate.

Krasner was one of the first “progressive prosecutors” to take office over the past decades, and would be only the latest to get pushed out. asserted
Krasner → take → decades
Former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby lost a 2022 re-election primary a year after getting indicted on perjury charges related to financial fraud (the eventual verdict: guilty); she’d helped pioneer soft-on-“low level”-crime policies during COVID and let podcast-famous murderer Adnan Syed out of prison. asserted
she → lose → prison
Boston DA Rachael Rollins created a 2019 list of 15 crimes, including trespassing and drug possession with intent to distribute, that her office would never prosecute; she left her later role as Massachusetts US Attorney in disgrace over multiple serious ethics violations, including leaking government secrets to help elect an ally. asserted

St. Louis’ Kim Gardner quit in 2023 as Missouri’s attorney general moved to force her out; her successor immediately doubled cases charged. asserted
successor → quit → cases
In Minnesota, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty will be gone in January; she declined to seek re-election after controversies such as instructing her office to hand out charges based on race (she officially dropped the policy amid a federal investigation) and granting an implicit OK to commit political violence against Tesla owners — all while letting rapists and killers walk free. asserted
rapists → go → owners
Similarly, Chicago State’s Attorney Kim Foxx decided not to run for re-election in 2024 after her pro-thug policies came in for fiery criticism (not to mention the Jussie Smollett fiasco); LA’s George Gascón lost in a landslide to tough-on-crime Nathan Hochman the same year. Yet all too many remain in power. asserted
many → decide → power
Austin, Texas, DA Jose Garza won re-election in 2024, though he’d gone after cops with felony charges for their actions during the Floyd riots and mulled charges against three officers who shot a crazed gunman in a bar (he backed off amid massive negative publicity). asserted
he → win → publicity
In northern Virginia, Fairfax County Commonweath’s Attorney Steve Descano has adopted what may be the most pro-crime policies of all: reduced sentences for illegal-immigrant criminals plus a general disposition to let violent thugs off the hook, resulting in the murder of Stephanie Minter by Leonian illegal Abdul Jalloh. uncertain
what → adopt → Jalloh
And of course Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg might stay on for decades. uncertain
Bragg → stay → decades
Meanwhile, other elected Democrats keep making things worse; New York’s Legislature keeps passing empty-the-prisons and -jails laws, while Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Parole Board picks are proving as let-’em-loose as her predecessors’. asserted

Same down in Virginia, where Gov. Abigail Spanberger, despite playing tough-on-crime in last year’s campaign, has replaced the entire Parole Board; it’s now ordering 10 times as many early prison releases. asserted

At least California voters were able to (overwhelmingly) pass Prop. 36 in 2024, tightening some insanely-soft laws over the vehement objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Democratic establishment. asserted
