Soros: I Can’t Stop a Republican ‘Avalanche’

George Soros, the billionaire financier who was an energetic Democratic donor in the last several election cycles but is sitting this one out, is not feeling optimistic about Democratic prospects.

“I made an exception getting involved in 2004,” Mr. Soros, 80, said in a brief interview Friday at a forum sponsored by the Bretton Woods Committee, which promotes understanding of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

“And since I didn’t succeed in 2004, I remained engaged in 2006 and 2008. But I’m basically not a party man. I’d just been forced into that situation by what I considered the excesses of the Bush administration.”

Mr. Soros, a champion of liberal causes, has been directing his money to groups that work on health care and the environment, rather than electoral politics. Asked if the prospect of Republican control of one or both houses of Congress concerned him, he said: “It does, because I think they are pushing the wrong policies, but I’m not in a position to stop it. I don’t believe in standing in the way of an avalanche.”

In "reading between the lines", what I understand Soros to actually be saying is that because of the French reopening an investigation into Soros' alleged currency trading fraud, he can not afford (literally speaking) to anger any Republicans who he's more than certain are going to be elected in a few more weeks, no matter what outcome Soros himself might prefer.

That way he can "call in some of the many favors" owed him by the many Republicans who he has accommodated over the years. and "cash in" some of them to have some top Republican power brokers intervene on his behalf with the French and the EU so that he gets off without being arrested.
