The State House Judiciary Committee approved two articles of impeachment, which sets up a vote by the full state house.Philadelphia's elected Democratic prosecutor faces a state Senate trial and possible removal from office after the Republican-led state House voted Wednesday to impeach him over progressive policies he has enacted amid rising crime in the city.
Krasner, who was overwhelmingly reelected by Philadelphia voters last year, is not accused of breaking the law. Instead, Republicans argued that he should be removed from office for various reasons, including his failure to prosecute some minor crimes and his bail request policies, his staff oversight and reports that his office didn't adequately notify crime victims about certain matters. They also alleged that Krasner obstructed the House's investigation of his office.
"They have impeached me without presenting a single shred of evidence connecting our policies to any uptick in crime," he said.

What about the Vega & Krasner trial that has been taking place for 3 days now? How’s the coverage been for that?
He is starting to look like Menendez
Lame ducks being lame 🥲😂✌️
About damn time! PhillyMayor next, please and thank you.
OK democrats start defending him and tomorrow go back to demanding he stop being soft on crime in Philly. 😆
If we the voters of Philadelphia voted for him then why are they in our business.. WE ARE THE STATE OF PHILADELPHIA!
Is he officially impeached or are there a trail like Trump went through?
Yay!!!
NON STORY! NO ONE CARES! IT'S A NON ISSUE! GOOD LUCK THOUGH! 🌊🌊
Response from philadao , see attached : 'In the hundreds of years the Commonwealth has existed, this is the only time the House has used the drastic remedy of impeachment of an elected official because they do not like their ideas.
Want is wrong with them. Work our schools,mental health. Oh that right they don't live in Philadelphia or have children in the school 🤔
TREASON. The ONLY reason they pulled this 💩is that he's a Dem. Like US Repos want to pull on Biden. They can all FAFO.
And, the House is now BLUE.. the gop continues to demonstrate its lack of focus on what the people of Pennsylvania truly deem to be important!
He won’t. His party won’t ever hurt their own, only the people of Philly who blindly elect these people will continue to see rising homicides and crimes in their city and be effected.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good bye!
NOPE Larry Krazner is a good DA
