Even The Philadelphia Inquirer has questions about defending Larry Krasner At what point does the newspaper give up on a criminal-loving and police-hating prosecutor?

We have frequently noted The Philadelphia Inquirer’s seemingly unqualified support for the city’s George Soros-sponsored — $1.7 million in 2017 and $1.2 million in 2021 — criminal-loving, police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, but even the Inky has been unable to avoid covering the news about Mr Krasner’s problems.

The newspaper said of Mr Krasner, in 2017:

Krasner says his defense work doesn’t make him soft on crime, but rather someone who can differentiate between redeemable defendants and hardened criminals.

Yet the District Attorney was upset that two police officers, in two separate cases, received lower sentences, even though it was conceded that they posed no future threats. Apparently Mr Krasner doesn’t see police officers as “redeemable defendants.”

Now there’s this:

DA’s office says two prosecutors who said Krasner told them to ‘protect the office’ in controversial case are ‘ill-informed’

This is what happens when the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating “progressive” prosecutors get elected

On Thursday morning, the Editorial Board of The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote:

This board has long supported (District Attorney Larry) Krasner’s efforts to examine claims of wrongful convictions. But the board does not support cutting corners or lying to the court.

There is an assumption behind that short paragraph, an assumption that there are wrongful convictions. And while the Board do not support “cutting corners or lying to the court,” that very same Editorial Board headlined, on July 2nd, “Krasner isn’t perfect. The Pa. Supreme Court’s ruling on his exoneration push is worse. Ordering the state’s top prosecutor to oversee conviction reviews by Philadelphia’s district attorney is an unprecedented remedy that may create more problems than it solves.” What are we to conclude other than the Board is less concerned with not “cutting corners or lying to the court” than they are with freeing more convicted criminals?

It’s not as though some of the previously convicted murderers that Mr Krasner got freed didn’t go on to kill other people. Continue reading →

To paraphrase what Mary McCarthy once said about Lillian Hellman, “Every word (Larry Krasner says) is a lie, including ‘and’ and ‘the’.”

Our nation’s third oldest, continuously-published daily newspaper, the winner of twenty Pultizer Prizes and the newspaper of record for the entire metropolitan area, has been doing what it can do defend the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, but things have been falling apart for Mr Krasner so badly that even the Inky has to report on what has been happening.

One of DA Larry Krasner’s top advisers once sent $100 to a man in prison for murder who’s now appealing his conviction. It’s under investigation.

Another of Larry Krasner’s minions has been sanctioned for lying through her scummy teeth At what point should the District Attorney himself be disbarred?

It seems as though I wrote too soon. Yes, the previous article, Larry Krasner gets bitch-slapped by the state Supreme Court, remains accurate and valid, but just this morning, only a few hours after the previous post was published here and on the American Free News Network, readers of The Philadelphia Inquirer are learning that the District Attorney’s Office has gotten yet another slap across the mouth, from another court.

A former supervisor in DA Larry Krasner’s office has been suspended in federal court

The development comes just one day after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court sharply curtailed Krasner’s office’s ability to seek to overturn old convictions and accused its lawyers of misleading judges.

Larry Krasner gets bitch-slapped by the state Supreme Court Let ’em Loose Larry wants to lock up police officers, and set criminals loose

We have frequently criticized Philadelphia’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, a former criminal defense attorney, but hey, this is just an evil, reich-wing source, so our criticisms can be simply written off as just more evil, conservative hate, right?

But what if some of that criticism comes from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which is controlled by Democrats?

Pa. Supreme Court blasts DA Larry Krasner’s office, saying it misled judges in seeking to vacate old murder convictions

In a forceful and scolding opinion, the state’s high court said Krasner’s office “violated its duty of candor” and ruled the state attorney general’s office must now review cases it seeks to overturn.

People whose jobs are to enforce the law band together to not enforce the law Unless it's against cops. They want to throw law enforcement officers into jail!

We reported on Wednesday how the Democrats in the Philadelphia city government apparently believe that illegal immigrants are above the law. Philadelphia’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney Larry Krasner, who even got one of his office’s lawyers disbarred from the federal court system for deliberately lying in trying to get a convicted murderer off death row even though he’d never actually be executed.

Now the distinguished Mr Krasner wants to keep criminals from being arrested:

DA Larry Krasner forms coalition of progressive prosecutors committed to charging federal agents who commit crimes

Krasner was joined by eight other prosecutors from U.S. cities — including Minneapolis DA Mary Moriarty — to announce the initiative.

by Ellie Rushing and Anna Orso | Wednesday, January 28, 2026 | 10:00 AM EST | Updated: 4:07 PM EST

District Attorney Larry Krasner on Wednesday announced the formation of a new coalition of progressive prosecutors committed to charging federal agents who violate state laws.

Krasner joined eight other prosecutors from U.S. cities to create the Project for the Fight Against Federal Overreach, a legal fund that local prosecutors can tap if they pursue charges against federal agents.

The abbreviation for the group, FAFO, is a nod to what has become one of Krasner’s frequent slogans: “F— around and find out.”

The move places Krasner at the center of a growing national clash between Democrats and the Trump administration over federal immigration enforcement and whether local law enforcement can — or should — charge federal agents for actions they take while carrying out official duties.

Note that last sentence, which reporters Ellie Rushing and Anna Orso couldn’t ignore: Mr Krasner wants to find ways to charge federal officers for “carrying out their official duties”!

What are their official duties? The apprehension of people in the United States illegally. Mr Krasner does not want law enforcement to actually enforce the law. Then again, he never has.

The tactic is simple: Mr Krasner and his fellow travelers want to try to intimidate Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, agents from carrying out their duties. With the public resistance of the left, there has been considerable chaos as protester Eenee Good, who tried to run down an ICE agent with her vehicle, and Alex Pretti, an out-of-control rager looking for a fight and who attacked ICE agents were killed as they tried to interfere with legitimate arrests.

Mr Krasner and the rest don’t like that ICE has had to be aggressive in some apprehensions? The solution is simple: have the local police assist in keeping protesters back, and supporting the arrests. Have state and local authorities honor ICE detainers, so those illegals already arrested for another crime can be handed off to immigration rather than having ICE having to track them down and arrest them at their homes or on the streets.

But what about actual violent crime in the City of Brotherly Love?

Woman charged with pepper-spraying conservative influencer on SEPTA bus

A video allegedly showing the Jan. 19 altercation went viral on right-wing social media accounts. The case will be led by the state attorney general’s mass transit prosecutor.

By Michael Tanenbaum, PhillyVoice Staff | Thursday, January 29, 2026

A woman who was filmed pepper-spraying a right-wing influencer during an argument on a SEPTA bus earlier this month now faces charges after the clip went viral and garnered national attention from conservative groups on social media.

Paulina Reyes, 22, was charged Thursday with simple assault, harassment, disorderly conduct and possession of an instrument of crime, the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General said. The case will be prosecuted by the attorney general’s mass transit prosecutor, a role that was created in 2023 to oversee some crimes that occur on SEPTA property.

On Jan. 19, Reyes was riding a SEPTA bus when she got into a heated argument with Frank Scales, the conservative influencer who runs the website Surge Philly and frequently posts clips of himself interviewing people at protests in the city. Scales has been an especially outspoken critic of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, a Democrat now in his third term who’s been a steadfast opponent of the Trump administration.

My good Twitter friend, Philly Crime Update, said that the state had to charge the lovely Miss Reyes because Mr Krasner would not. The charges will be prosecuted by the special prosecutor position, created in 2023 to pursue crimes committed on SEPTA, a position Mr Krasner filed suit to challenge the law that created it, claiming that it was it was unconstitutional and stripped his office of authority, even though the prosecutor only rarely exercised his authority to protect decent people on SEPTA.

Translation: if the District Attorney had his way, Miss Reyes would not face any charges at all, because the special prosecutor’s office wouldn’t exist, despite the fact she was angered by the fact that Mr Scales did exactly the things Mr Krasner said ought to be protected for the demonstrators in Minneapolis!

Philly Dems say “Illegal immigrants are above the law!”

It is to the surprise of absolutely no one that Philadelphia’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney Larry Krasner wants to “hunt down” Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, agents for daring to do something really radical like enforcing the law.

Wackjob Philly DA Vows To “Hunt Down” ICE Agents

By William Teach | Wednesday, January 28, 2026 | 7:00 AM EST

He’s really skirting the line of being a criminal threat to federal law enforcement. Maybe he should worry more about Philly’s crime rate, which is a 1 (100 is best), with violent and property crime rates over 3 times the Pennsylvania average and well over double the US average

Soros-backed Philadelphia DA vows to ‘hunt’ down ICE agents: ‘We will find you’

Philadelphia’s top prosecutor, a George Soros-backed district attorney, is facing scrutiny and backlash after vowing to “hunt” down federal immigration agents as city leaders move to curb ICE operations.

Speaking during a morning event outside City Hall tied to newly unveiled “ICE OUT” legislation, District Attorney Larry Krasner sharply criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

“This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis. That’s what they are,” Krasner said. “In a country of 350 million, we outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice.”

I heard about this yesterday, but didn’t write about it. I expected our nation’s third-oldest, continuously-published daily newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, to have more on this than they did, but this was all I could find in a search Wednesday morning:

On the other end is District Attorney Larry Krasner, Philadelphia’s most prominent progressive, who has on several occasions threatened to file criminal charges against ICE agents who commit crimes in the city.

“There will be accountability now. There will be accountability in the future. There will be accountability after [Trump] is out of office,” Krasner said Tuesday. “If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities.”

The article concerns the responses of Democratic officials to enforcement of our immigration laws, and is about more than Mr Krasner.

As we have previously noted, the distinguished Mr Krasner has also threatened to file state charges against the January 6th Capitol Kerfufflers after they were pardoned by President Trump, even though most of them had already served their federal sentences, but hasn’t actually done anything, perhaps because there was nothing which he could find which occurred in his jurisdiction, which is limited to the City of Brotherly Love.

The Inquirer reported, on Inauguration Day, that there were about 47,000 illegal aliens living in the city, but the currently cited article uses a different source to guesstimate an “unauthorized population” of 76,000. With a July 1, 2024 estimated population of 1,573,916, that would put Philly’s illegals at 4.83% of the total. And the Democrats want more than to tone down the enforcement of immigration laws: they want to protect the illegals from everything:

Philadelphia officials said the best way they can prepare is by limiting the city’s cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

City Councilmember Kendra Brooks, of the progressive Working Families Party, and Councilmember Rue Landau, a Democrat, were joined by dozens of activists and other elected officials during a news conference Tuesday to unveil a package of legislation aimed at codifying into law the city’s existing “sanctuary city” practices.

Those policies, which are currently executive orders, bar city officials from holding undocumented immigrants in custody at ICE’s request without a judicial warrant.

So, the Democrats want to protect the illegals who are caught breaking other laws as well.

Landau and Brooks’ legislative package, expected to be introduced in Council on Thursday, goes further, preventing ICE agents from wearing masks, using city-owned property for staging raids, or accessing city databases.

Erika Guadalupe Núñez, executive director of immigrant advocacy organization Juntos, said the legislation “goes beyond just ‘We don’t collaborate.’”

Juntos gets regular calls about ICE staging operations at public locations in and around Philadelphia, and people have been worried, despite official assurances, whether personal information held by the city will be secure from government prying.

What happened to “no one is above the law”? The Democrats proclaimed it, loudly and clearly, when they were trying to throw then-former President Trump in jail, and we’re hearing it — sort of — from Mr Krasner, as he wants to ‘hunt down’ ICE agents, for as many years as it takes, even if it takes ‘decades,’ because they are charged with enforcing our immigration laws.

When former Philadelphia Police Officer Eric Ruch, Jr, was tried, convicted, and sentenced for killing an unarmed suspect following a police chase, Mr Krasner filed an appeal to reconsider the 11½-to-23 month sentence as too lenient. Instead Mr Ruch was released after nine months, the same amount of time former state Attorney General Kathleen Kane spent locked up for her 10-to-23 month sentenced for perjury. If that angered Mr Krasner, so much the better.

In the meantime, we have documented how the city’s scumbag of a prosecutor has the criminals’ backs, while he hates the cops.

But is that really a surprise? The Democrats in city government are all supporting those who have broken our immigration laws, not only entering illegally or overstaying a visa, but who must commit felonies, must break our employment laws every day to live in the United States. But to the Democrats, illegals really are above the law.

Larry Krasner beclowns himself Philly's chief law enforcement officer doesn't want our immigration laws enforced

Remember when Philadelphia’s criminal-loving, police-hating, George Soros-sponsored District Attorney Larry Krasner previously made a fool of himself with his spittle-flecked declaration that he would seek to find state charges against the January 6th Capitol kerfufflers who were pardoned by President Trump, despite the fact that the vast majority had already served their sentences?

Then we have this gem from the Philly persecutor. That’s right: Mr Krasner wants to go after anyone who might have been involved with the late Jeffrey Epstein. But, let’s tell the truth here: if Mr Krasner found anyone connected to Mr Epstein who has “ties back to (his) jurisdiction,” which is the confines of Philadelphia County — Philadelphia city and county are co-terminus — Mr Krasner wants to throw the book at them, but only if they are Republicans. As with his previous mentioned threat, nothing came of that, either. The late Mr Epstein’s homes and businesses were not in the City of Brotherly Love.

And now, here he goes again!

DA Krasner condemns fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis, says officers who commit crimes in Philly will ‘be convicted’

Krasner said the actions of the ICE agent who shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good were unlawful.

by Jesse Bunch | Thursday, January 8, 2026 | 3:50 PM EST

District Attorney Larry Krasner, responding to the killing of a 37-year-old woman by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, vowed to prosecute law enforcement officers who commit crimes in the city of Philadelphia.

“You will be arrested, you will stand trial, you will be convicted,” Krasner said during a news conference Thursday.

His remarks came a day after a masked ICE agent shot Renee Nicole Good multiple times in her SUV.

In widely circulated videos of the incident, Good appears to be driving away from a group of immigration agents as they order her to get out of her vehicle.

The District Attorney does not seem nearly as concerned with the law when it comes to our immigration laws. From the Tampa Free Press:

Shortly after entering office in 2018, the liberal prosecutor created the Immigration Counsel position in order to provide consultations on cases specifically involving foreign nationals. Krasner initially stated the position would work to achieve “immigration-neutral” outcomes, which in practice means evaluating and possibly lowering charges against migrants, including illegal immigrants, to ensure their conviction would not result in their deportation.

Krasner’s office repeatedly suggested early on that the Immigration Counsel would only focus on cases involving “low-level” offenders, but a case list obtained by a conservative immigration group in 2021 revealed that his office consulted in a myriad of cases involving foreign nationals accused of gruesome crimes, such as rape of a child, rape, sexual assault, arson and murder.

An additional case list released in 2024 revealed the Immigration Counsel has continued to be involved in serious criminal cases. Krasner’s office consulted with or worked on 21 aggravated assault, domestic violence and other crimes of violence cases; 26 possession of drugs with intent to distribute cases; 12 firearm cases; nine rape and indecent assault and sexual assault on a child cases, nine robbery or burglary cases and one vehicular homicide case, according to a case list for the 2023 calendar year.

Translation: Mr Krasner loves him some illegals, and would rather keep those who commit serious crimes other than those connected with their immigration status in the United States.

Mr Krasner said during the press conference.

I will charge you with those crimes. You will be arrested. You will stand trial. You will be convicted. Donald Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction. Do you hear me, ICE agents?

Arrests can get messy if the subjects being apprehended resist, and it looks to me as though Mr Krasner is encouraging illegals to resist arrest. And he’s attempting to intimidate ICE agents from coming to Philadelphia to enforce our immigration laws.

I would suggest that ICE do a deep dive into the members of Mr Krasner’s staff, to see if any of them might be here illegally.

Philly ADA Paul George disbarred from federal court, but so far, his boss, Larry Krasner, has skated

When an attorney of many years experience gets disbarred by a court, it is not a trivial thing, but a serious, serious punishment, and not something judges take lightly. But, congratulations to Philadelphia’s George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, for getting one of his minions kicked out of practice for deliberate lying to a a federal district court. From The Philadelphia Inquirer:

A supervisor in Philly DA Larry Krasner’s office has been disbarred in federal court

A panel of judges said Paul George “lied repeatedly” while seeking to overturn the death sentence of Robert Wharton, who killed a Mount Airy couple and left their 7-month-old baby behind to die.

by Chris Palmer | Thursday, December 11, 2025 | 12:33 PM EST

A veteran lawyer in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office has been disbarred in the region’s federal courts after a panel of judges concluded he “lied repeatedly” while seeking to overturn the death sentence of a man who killed an East Mount Airy couple in their home and left their infant daughter inside to die.

Paul George, an assistant district attorney who handles appellate cases, was a key player in his office’s attempts to have Robert Wharton’s death penalty reversed so he could serve a life sentence instead.

U.S. District Judge Mitchell Goldberg denied that request, but not before finding that District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office had provided incomplete and misleading information in its efforts to free Wharton from death row.

After Goldberg made his decision, George and a colleague who handled the case faced federal disciplinary proceedings to examine whether their conduct — which was also criticized by an appeals court — was intentionally deceptive.

We get it: Mr Krasner is a long-time opponent of capital punishment, having campaigned on, among other things, never seeking a death sentence in a capital murder case.

But this paragraph, from the same article, shows the ridiculousness of Mr Krasner’s moves:

Krasner says his defense work doesn’t make him soft on crime, but rather someone who can differentiate between redeemable defendants and hardened criminals.

Mr Krasner and his minions are not seeking to have Mr Wharton released, or be granted a new trial, but simply to convert his death sentence to life in prison. We fail to understand how the District Attorney could consider Mr Wharton, now 62 years old, to be a “redeemable defendant” and still want to keep him locked up for the rest of his miserable life. Mr Wharton was tried and convicted in 1985, forty years ago. Here is Judge Goldberg’s memorandum opinion from May 11, 2022, noting all of the appeals filed in Mr Wharton’s behalf to save him from execution.

There’s also a particular degree of stupidity in all of this. Despite the current case being federal, as Mr Wharton’s attorneys, now joined by Mr Krasner’s office, sought relief under the Sixth Amendment, the killer was tried and sentenced in Pennsylvania’s state courts; he’s under a Pennsylvania capital sentence, not a federal one. The Commonwealth has executed exactly three men since the restoration of capital punishment in 1976, all in the late 1990s, and all having voluntarily dropped all of their appeals. Pennsylvania’s governors do not have the authority to commute sentences or pardon criminals on their own, but the two most recent governors, Tom Wolf and Josh Shapiro, the current Governor, have declared moratoria on executions, and refuse to sign death warrants. Ed Rendell, Governor from 2003 up until 2011, signed 78 death warrants, and his successor, Republican Tom Corbett, signed 48, but none were actually carried out due to various stays and legal appeals. The chances that Mr Wharton will actually be executed are slender, and Mr Krasner as well as Mr George have to know this. Why lie to the court, why deceive the court, why risk the legal sanction Mr George has now received, for this?

Maybe they’ll try next for Lewis Jordan, who’s only 39, and was sentenced to death for killing Philadelphia Police Officer Charles Cassidy, since Mr Krasner hates the police.

Remember: Mr Krasner wanted to find state charges he could bring against the January 6 Capitol kerfufflers after President Trump pardoned them, even though most had already served their federal sentences.

There is an issue of culpability here. Yes, Paul George and Nancy Winkelman were the ADAs making the appeals on Mr Wharton’s behalf, but Larry Krasner is their boss, should have known what they were doing, and taken action against it. If anyone should be disbarred, it’s Mr Krasner, but instead he was just re-elected for another four miserable years as District Attorney, to continue a previous eight years of lax and lenient prosecution, eight years which may have influenced the eight young gentlemen who thought they could rob a Dick’s Sporting Goods store in Polk County, Florida, and get the same no-consequences treatment in the Sunshine State, a story which made the national news as well as two Philadelphia television stations, but somehow, some way, never made the Inquirer.

OK, OK, that last sentence violated all sorts of run-on sentence rules, but it’s the truth nevertheless.

Larry Krasner is all about politics, not about justice, and not really about the law. He uses the law as a tool where he can, but he’s still nothing but a partisan hack.
