Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner vehemently objected to a federal judge referring him for criminal investigation over his efforts to overturn a conviction.U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond Jr. said Krasner might have committed obstruction of justice and other crimes in his handling of a post-conviction.'I refer the DAO, Mr. Krasner, and [his deputy Matthew] Stiegler to this District’s United States Attorney’s Office for investigation and other appropriate action.'Krasner has backed a man seeking to overturn his second-degree murder conviction through the DA's Conviction Integrity Unit. Prosecutors say the case was badly botched.Diamond said that Krasner may have forced prosecutors to accept a false narrative"I have thus reluctantly concluded that Philadelphia’s highest law enforcement official and one of his top assistants may have violated the law," said Judge Diamond in the memo. "In these circumstances, with the issuance of this Memorandum, I refer the DAO, Mr. Krasner, and [his deputy Matthew] Stiegler to this District’s United States Attorney’s Office for investigation and other appropriate action."Krasner fired back and said he would appeal the decision."I respectfully and vigorously disagree with the court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law," read a statement from the DA.“I look forward to appealing to the higher court as soon as the law allows," he added. "This remains a pending matter, which limits for now my and my office’s ability to respond in the media.”Krasner was first elected through a massive campaign donation by left-wing millionaire George Soros. He has been heavily criticized for his lax law enforcement policies.RELATED: Soros-backed DA vows to 'blow up' White House ballroom, calls Trump a 'pain in the a**' Krasner and Stiegler were ordered off of the case.NBC reported that a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania did not return a request for comment.Like Blaze News?

The president once against lambasted the U.S. Supreme Court after a split ruling against his order on mail-in voting.President Donald Trump had ordered the U.S. Postal Service in April to help federal authorities prevent election fraud through voting by mail.'The damage done to America is incalculable, and they know this, just as everyone else does - It is an irreparable and unrecoverable harm!'The order involved the creation of a comprehensive list of U.S. citizens who are legally allowed to vote. The USPS would only be allowed to mail ballots to voters on the list.Two conservative justice dissented in the ruling Monday that upheld a lower court blocking the USPS from implementing certain parts of the president's order for the midterm elections.Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote a concurrence explaining that although he believed the USPS had the authority to implement the order, the agency did not "have sufficient time to reasonably implement the rule" before the elections.The president zeroed in on that decision in his polemic on Truth Social."Republicans just got another bad decision from the United States Supreme Court, one that the Court System took forever to give," he wrote, "and then blamed it, in part, on no time left to implement a solution to our totally CORRUPT and out of control Mail-In voting 'disaster,' which is a laughing stock all over the World, and where we are the only country that has to endure such a Nation Destroying SCAM."He went on to accuse the court of giving Democrats an "open field" to cheat through mail-in voting."Justices [Samuel] Alito and [Clarence] Thomas, legends both, strongly disagreed with this horrible, highly political, ruling," he added. "The Supreme Court has really let our Country down!"He also blasted the court for other decisions he disagreed with, including the birthright citizenship ruling and the court's rejection of some of his tariffs.Critics of the president's order accused him of trying to unconstitutionally federalize elections."This is another desperate, illegal power grab that shows a total lack of respect for the American people and our Constitution," responded Oregon State Secretary Tobias Read in April.RELATED: 'Hardly believable': Trump RIPS INTO 2 Supreme Court justices he appointed "The Constitution is clear: states run elections," Read added. "We don’t need decrees from Washington, D.C. My message to the president: We’ll see you in court."The president asserted that the conservative justices had caved in to pressure and threats from left-wing activists."The damage done to America is incalculable, and they know this, just as everyone else does - It is an irreparable and unrecoverable harm!" he added. "The Court’s inability and unwillingness to do the right thing for our Country will go down, in a very negative way, in the annals of History."Like Blaze News?

In the emotional aftermath of 9/11, President George W. Bush urged Americans not to blame Islam for the terrorist attacks, instead declaring that “Islam is peace.” Twenty-five years later, BlazeTV host Nick Freitas is revisiting that message and asking whether the country learned the wrong lessons from its darkest day. “I don’t know if you guys remember this, but shortly after 9/11, U.S. president visits an Islamic center, and he had this to say,” Freitas says. “These acts of violence against innocence violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace,” Bush told the crowd. “Let’s see if that’s true,” Freitas says, before reading several passages from the Quran. “Surah 9:5: ‘Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free,” reads one excerpt. “If you either convert to Islam or you agree to pay additional taxes because you’re not Islamic, then you can be free,” Freitas explains. “Surah 9:29: ‘Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and his Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of truth (even if they are of the People of the Book), until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued,” reads another. “So again, you’re allowed to survive as a Christian, as a Jew, as somebody else that’s not a Muslim, right, but only if you’re subdued, only if you’re willing to pay additional taxes,” Freitas says.And in Surah 47:4, Muslims are instructed: “So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens.”“It’s a religion of peace, man,” Freitas comments. “How do you know it's a religion of peace? Well, George Bush says so.” “To say otherwise is to be mean. And we’re not allowed to be mean,” he adds. “Making the Argument with Nick Freitas” is available on BlazeTV+, YouTube, and major podcast platforms.Start watching Nick Freitas NOW at blazetv.com and use the promo code NICK40 for $40 off your BlazeTV+ subscription.
