Attorney General Pam Bondi and Justice Department civil rights chief Harmeet Dhillon have raised concerns about the actions of Hennepin County, Minnesota District Attorney Mary Moriarty. Moriarty’s directive, known as the “Negotiations Policy for Cases Involving Adult Defendants,” has sparked controversy for seemingly promoting selective prosecutions based on race.
The policy explicitly states that “racial identity should be part of the overall analysis,” and prosecutors should consider and address racial disparities at decision points. This has raised alarm bells, as it suggests a two-tiered justice system based on skin color, with potential bias against whites and Asians.
Moriarty, who has ties to George Soros, has already been criticized for implementing a two-tiered justice system. Examples include letting a Tesla vandal off lightly while cracking down on other offenders and giving lenient deals to violent criminals. This pattern of behavior reinforces the perception of preferential treatment based on political favoritism.
The implementation of such policies by public officials entrusted with upholding justice undermines public trust in the legal system. Bondi and Dhillon’s probe into Moriarty’s actions could lead to federal civil rights charges, sending a message that prosecutors are not above the law.
It is crucial for the Justice Department to keep a close watch on other prosecutors with ties to Soros and their potential impact on American citizens. The damage caused by biased prosecutions can have far-reaching consequences, and it is essential to hold accountable those who abuse their power for political gain. Hopefully, this investigation will serve as a reminder that justice should be blind and impartial, regardless of race or political affiliation.
