It is alleged that Krasner has failed to prosecute minor crimes and encourages soft-on-crime bail policies leaving dangerous criminals free to commit more crimes. He is also accused of obstructing the House’s investigation into the prosecutor’s office.
Former prosecutor, Representative Tim Bonner warns that “anarchy and violence will prevail” if elected leaders ignore the laws.
“No one individual has the right to set aside the laws of Congress or the General Assembly because they simply do not like the law. No one has that degree of absolute power,” Bonner said.
“Abuse of power by an elected official in the office is the corruption of power and constitutes misbehavior in office.”
State Rep. Martina White, also a prime sponsor of the impeachment, said that “no public official is above accountability.”
“This man has denied that there is even a crisis of crime happening on our streets,” White said of the Democratic DA.
Krasner fights back
The Philadelphia District Attorney launched a public campaign against what he says is an illegal and politically motivated impeachment.
