Radical progressive Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is now scrambling to find ways to bring state charges against January 6 prisoners who were pardoned by President Donald Trump.
Krasner is exploring the possibility of bringing charges against Pennsylvania residents, CNN’s Marshall Cohen reported.
The Soros-backed district attorney’s plans to charge the J6 protesters would likely face significant legal hurdles, such as double jeopardy.
However, he maintains, “You can have a state prosecution for conduct that was not fully encompassed in the federal prosecution.”
Past attempts to bring state charges against individuals are usually unsuccessful due to constitutional protections against double jeopardy.
Krasner said he is now scouring over federal charging documents in order to find prosecutable conduct that was not covered in the January 6 prosecutions.
For instance, he said he is looking into cases that involved “assaults on officers” and “collaboration with far-right extremist groups such as the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.”
The Soros-funded attorney referenced a number of Pennsylvania laws that could be used to prosecute the Trump supporters, including the misuse of technology for criminal activities, election-related offenses, and state conspiracy laws.
Krasner vowed to bring “accountability” for those charged during the protests, calling them Trump’s “co-conspirators.”
It’s worth noting that Krasner’s response to the January 6 protests is in stark contrast to the violent Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, which saw Police officers assaulted, and dozens of buildings and vehicles torched.
Following the BLM riots, Krasner withdrew 80 percent of commercial burglary charges brought against rioters, and also those brought in the Walter Wallace riots in October 2020.
A whopping 95 percent of the 2,000 rioters arrested in 2020 had their cases dropped by Krasner’s office.
More recently, Krasner changed a policy so that thefts under $500 would be no longer treated as lower-level offenses.
“Wawas are closing. They’re closing in Center City,” Dugan said in reference to regional convenience store Wawa, which made the decision to close most Philadelphia due to the crime rate.
“We can have all the politically correct reasons for why it’s happening and all that. But the reality of it is it’s because they couldn’t control the retail theft.”
