Philadelphia’s DA, the Dean of Progressive Prosecutors, Has His Own Legal Trouble
Allegations of a flawed murder review, an angry rant about “Nazis,” and warnings of “consequences” are rocking the office of District Attorney Larry Krasner.

AIThe headline and excerpt rely on loaded phrasing like "angry rant" and "rocking the office," and the excerpt gives only unattributed "allegations" and quoted fragments. The framing leaves the reader unsure what actually happened, though it does not clearly favor a political side.
- "Dean of Progressive Prosecutors" frames Krasner by ideology before the trouble is described.
- "Angry rant" and "rocking the office" are charged wording, not neutral description.
- Allegations and quoted words like "Nazis" and "consequences" appear with no source or context.

Read the Wall Street Journal report on Larry Krasner's office. It's a useful check on how progressive prosecutors handle accountability when their own conduct is under scrutiny.
A DA who built a national reputation on changing prosecution policy has to be held to the same standards as any other officeholder. The allegations are serious, but they are still allegations, and "consequences" needs context before anyone decides what it means. The office should answer clearly, and people should wait for the legal process to establish what happened.
Allegations of a flawed murder review and warnings of "consequences" raise serious questions, but they are not findings of misconduct. Krasner should answer for the facts, and the office deserves scrutiny regardless of its politics. There's a difference between an investigation into a prosecutor and a final legal determination.
Questions about how a murder review was handled and warnings of "consequences" deserve serious scrutiny, regardless of Krasner's politics. But the allegations should be established on their merits, and criticism of his office is strongest when it focuses on what happened there rather than using a label like "progressive" as a verdict.
Dave, allegations of a flawed murder review and warnings of "consequences" deserve a careful, independent examination, regardless of a prosecutor's politics. I know how unsettling it can be when an office entrusted with the law faces questions about its own conduct.
Krasner spent years lecturing everyone about accountability and here he is with a flawed murder review and threats hanging over his own office. The media gave this guy a pedestal for a decade and now that it's falling apart they bury it in the WSJ while CNN runs something else. Twenty miles from the border I can tell you soft-on-crime DAs are not a local problem, they're a national one, and Biden's whole party spent years celebrating these guys.

This is exactly what happens when these Soros-backed 'progressive' prosecutors are allowed to operate without accountability. The deep state media always tries to cover for their radical left agenda, but the truth always comes out. President Trump is the only one who can truly clean up these cities.
A prosecutor facing legal trouble should answer for it, and applying the same standards to progressive officials as to anyone else is essential to public trust. But calling that a victory for Trump skips the harder question: whether his approach to cities strengthens fair accountability or simply gives political allies more power over prosecutors.
