Pennsylvania lawmakers impeached Krasner in November for failing to prosecute violent offenders, which they say led to a record-high 562 homicides in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Krasner, like many Soros prosecutors, refuses to charge low-level offenders, a policy that has led to high recidivism rates. Los Angeles district attorney George Gasc\u00f3n (D.), who received millions of dollars from Soros, and now-ousted San Francisco prosecutor Chesa Boudin both oversaw a rise in violent crime in their jurisdictions last year. The liberal billionaire donated $1.7 million to Krasner\u2019s first campaign in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of murders in Philadelphia this year were from shootings. <a href=\"https:\/\/controller.phila.gov\/philadelphia-audits\/mapping-gun-violence\/#\/?year=2022&#038;layers=Point%20locations&#038;f=fatal%3Dtrue%26race%255B0%255D%3DB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seventy-eight percent<\/a> of the victims were black, according to city data.<\/p>\n<p>Krasner has exonerated dozens of felons who he says were wrongfully convicted through a special unit in his office. One of those felons in October was <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/convicted-murderer-freed-by-philly-da-larry-krasner-in-custody-after-deadly-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">charged with another homicide<\/a> after his release.<\/p>\n<p>Krasner\u2019s office did not respond to a request for comment. In December, he asked a state court to throw out the impeachment on procedural grounds. Krasner has painted the Republican-led effort as an attempt to subvert the democratic process, saying it is part of a national GOP push to &#8220;undo elections.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of the Pennsylvania House impeachment managers said on Monday that Krasner\u2019s response to the impeachment &#8220;is illustrative of how he conducts himself in office.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He argues he cannot be impeached by the General Assembly.
