Larry Krasner
Soros-backed Philly District Attorney Larry Krasner is exploring state charges against January 6ers pardoned by President Trump.
Trump pardoned more 1,500 January 6 defendants as one of his first acts as US President on Monday.
However, as expected, a Democrat DA is now trying to bring state charges to pardoned January 6ers.
Larry Krasner is seeking state charges against pardoned January 6 defendants who live in Pennsylvania.
Krasner will have an uphill legal battle because of double jeopardy laws.
Per CNN reporter Marshall Cohen: “Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner, a progressive Democrat, is exploring state charges against pardoned US Capitol rioters from PA. This would face significant legal hurdles, like double jeopardy. But he told me, “you can have a state prosecution for conduct that was not fully encompassed in the federal prosecution.”

Recall that Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort was hit with state charges in anticipation of a Trump pardon in 2019.
Then-Manhattan DA Cy Vance announced state charges against Manafort in March 2019 just MINUTES after the former Trump campaign chairman was sentenced for the second time on federal charges.
The Communists in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) hatched a plot to go around ‘double jeopardy’ laws. This way Manafort would still serve prison time if Trump were to issue a presidential pardon.
Manafort pleaded not guilty and his lawyers asked for the case to be thrown out because of ‘double jeopardy’ laws — and a judge dismissed the mortgage fraud case in the SDNY because it overlapped with the federal charges.
