Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner made it crystal clear on Thursday that any Donald Trump ally — or any federal government agent — who attempts to interfere at polling locations in November will quickly be arrested and prosecuted. He then added that they will be facing state charges putting them beyond the reach of any possible Trump pardon.
Speaking with MS NOW host Chris Jansing, the blunt-speaking Krasner noted that he is calling for an army of poll-watchers armed with folding chairs and phone cameras to provide him with evidence of MAGA criminality that will then be used in court. Pointing to like-minded DA’s who have joined his efforts to secure local polling places, Krasner said, “The reality is he's [Trump] got a real problem with state court prosecutors. We have gotten together, we are associating with each other, we're ready to go.”
“And in the same way that my office and the offices of these other members of this group have successfully prosecuted civilians and also prosecuted law enforcement, we will prosecute federal agents who try to interfere with elections,” he warned. “That's a crime in almost every jurisdiction, to engage in election interference under state law and they better they better get ready for the handcuffs and the jail cell.”
He continued, “You know, really the best plan is that there is a massive turnout of civilians on Election Day in the same way we've had large, peaceful, lawful protests with No Kings and other organizations. They turn out in enormous numbers on Election Day in November, and they turn out in a peaceful, nonpartisan way to monitor the polls.”
