Before you get too excited: They're not investigating Soros' funding of terrorism yet. Now they're only looking at some information provided by a private group to determine if there's enough evidence to even justify the opening of an investigation.
I think this is called the "predication" phase. Determining if there is enough of an evidentiary predicate to even open an investigation.
But do remember how flimsy the evidence was for all the many, many investigations the DOJ opened on Trump and conservatives under Obama and Biden. Under Obama and Biden, the DOJ and FBI found predication everywhere they looked. Carter Page talked to a Russian once? That's predication for spying on him and everyone who spoke to him, like Trump and his staffers. Never mind that Carter Page was an active source for the CIA who was encouraged to talk to foreigners to get information for the CIA -- we'll just delete that from the record when we apply for a FISA warrant.
The New York Times is reporting that a "senior Justice Department official" has directed "more than a half dozen U.S. attorney's offices to draft plans to investigate a group funded by George Soros."
Soros is the notorious Democrat donor and billionaire mastermind behind a lot of the Left's attempts to gain power and control in America. Now it appears we may get a peek behind that curtain.
According to the Times report, its reporters had the chance to view a copy of the DOJ official's memo detailing a list of charges that could be filed against Soros's Open Society Foundations. These include racketeering, arson, wire fraud, and providing material support for terrorism.
The report says that DOJ department heads seem to be taking orders from President Trump so "that specific people or groups be subject to criminal investigation -- a major break from decades of past practice meant to insulate the Justice Department from political interference."
Oddly, after all the lawfare thrown at Trump since 2020, the Times has the gall to characterize this as "a major break from decades of past practice meant to insulate the Justice Department from political interference."
...
Before closing out its story by running cover for Soros, the Times referred back to a social media post Trump made in August in which he said Soros "should be charged with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act."
Meanwhile, corrupt prosecutor and unindicted criminal Jack Smith insists that when he suddenly demanded all of the courts rule immediately on his motions so that he could put Trump on trial before November 2024, that had nothing -- nothing! -- to do with the national elections held in November 2024.
Hit him with a perjury charge. There's your predication right there.
