Soros used the committee to help propel Henry County District Attorney Darius Pattillo into office, and the consulting payments went towards that effort, the filings show.<\/p>\n<p>Abrams, meanwhile, is the chief executive officer of Sage Works LLC, she stated on her financial disclosure form. Georgia business records show that she incorporated the company in September 2002 and has remained its registered agent.<\/p>\n<p>The payment, which hasn&#8217;t been previously reported, happened in the infancy of Soros&#8217; targeting of district attorney races across the country. Soros views prosecutors, who decide which crimes to charge and which to let slide, as a significant component of overhauling the criminal justice system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/stacey-abrams-received-six-figure-income-mysterious-corporate-entity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>STACEY ABRAMS RECEIVED SIX-FIGURE INCOME FROM MYSTERIOUS CORPORATE ENTITY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 767px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p>\n      Sage Works LLC, a company owned by Stacey Abrams, received a $15,000 payment for &#8220;strategic consulting services&#8221; from a Soros-funded district attorney group in October 2016.<br \/>\n      <span class=\"copyright\">(Dustin Chambers\/Bloomberg via Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/capitalresearch.org\/article\/living-room-pundits-guide-to-soros-district-attorneys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">January report<\/a>\u00a0from the Capital Research Center&#8217;s Parker Thayer, Soros has dropped around $30 million into influencing more than 20 prosecutor races, putting his preferred candidates at a significant advantage in races that typically see minimal cash.<\/p>\n<p>Like Pattillo in Georgia, many of the Soros-backed candidates have won and remain in office today.
