Federal judge says Soros-backed district attorney may have committed obstruction of justice — and refers him to the feds

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.

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.

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 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.
