Radical progressive Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is now scrambling to find ways to bring state charges against January 6 prisoners who were pardoned by President Donald Trump.
Krasner is exploring the possibility of bringing charges against Pennsylvania residents, CNN’s Marshall Cohen reported.
The Soros-backed district attorney’s plans to charge the J6 protesters would likely face significant legal hurdles, such as double jeopardy.
However, he maintains, “You can have a state prosecution for conduct that was not fully encompassed in the federal prosecution.”
Past attempts to bring state charges against individuals are usually unsuccessful due to constitutional protections against double jeopardy.
Krasner said he is now scouring over federal charging documents in order to find prosecutable conduct that was not covered in the January 6 prosecutions.
