George Soros is back in the game of funding local races for district attorney

(Snip) In the 2016 campaign, Soros created local, independent expenditure committees or political action committees which allowed him to bypass the individual contribution limits on giving to a candidate's own committee. Soros was then able to spend unlimited amounts on mailers and television ads on behalf of the candidate, provided there was no coordination between the Soros-created PAC and the candidate.

(Snip) One of the DAs who survived the Soros assault was Pete Weir in Jefferson County, Colorado. Weir told the Washington Examiner that the Soros strategy included having the new district attorney use their prosecutorial discretion to unwind years of hard-won consensus that came out of state legislatures writing criminal justice law.

"He is trying to identify candidates that will follow Soros' view of social justice and [his] political agenda. And he does this by bypassing the legislative process," Weir said.
