Progressive Philadelphia DA Krasner asks court to halt impeachment proceedings against him

FILE: Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner addresses the media after a press conference announcing Danielle Outlaw as the new police commissioner, of exacerbating Philadelphia's surging crime problem by implementing progressive criminal justice reform policies and botching certain high-profile cases.

"His lack of proper leadership serves as a direct and proximate cause of the crisis currently facing the city of Philadelphia," the House resolution calling for his impeachment stated.GOP State Rep. Timothy Bonner said Krasner has put himself above the law and accused him of deciding which laws to enforce.

"In Philadelphia, a prosecutor is at the center of the rule of law and protecting the law and enforcing the law in this country. A prosecutor has discretion in deciding what charges will be initially filed, but that power is not absolute, and it can be abused."have argued that Krasner is being scapegoated for wider problems and that the case against him is weak and an abuse of legislative power.

Considering the state gives Phila a crap ton of our taxpayer's money and we also now are dealing with crime, criminals running around, and drugs are oozing into our neighborhoods bc of his lack of policy. I would say it’s no longer just their say. Send him on his way.

'On what grounds?' the judge asks. 'Because,' answers the DA, sagely, 'after a long and comprehensive investigation of myself by myself, i find myself not involved in any crime or misconduct alleged.' 'Well,' submits the judge, rapping his gavel, 'i guess that's that!'

Pathetic

Impeachment proceedings? How about criminal charges?

This guy is a menace to society

Crime victims are people too

I guess so he can free more criminals and get more innocent people killed.

No way. He and the Mayor to include the city council have destroyed the city. I moved out last year but still fear for my family still there. killadelphia

Prostitute him to the fullest extent of the law, and yes, I meant Prostitute him because he already is one for the democrats.

Idea a goal and objective 💯

What nerve

Philly DA Krasner Sues to Stop State GOP-Led Effort to Remove HimPhiladelphia’s elected prosecutor is asking a state court to halt a Republican-led effort to remove him from office. District Attorney Larry Krasner’s lawsuit filed Friday argues that the impeachment and removal process ended when the Legislature’s two-year session ran out two days earlier. He wants Commonwealth Court to declare that the General Assembly lacks constitutional authority to remove local officials like him — as opposed to state officials. The state House voted on nearly party lines to impeach Krasner on Nov. 16, sending the matter to the state Senate for trial next month. Removal will require support from two-thirds of senators, a tall order in the politically divided chamber. Democrats tried to impeach trump twice and failed, but he took it like a warrior! Get over it Krasner...
