As previously reported on these pages, progressive lawyer Larry Krasner was elected District Attorney of Philadelphia with the massive financial support of billionaire George Soros.

Soros is now funding a D.A. candidate in the Philadelphia suburbs just as he has helped elect other progressive prosecutors throughout the...
