Trump doesn’t fire Pirro at White House meeting hours after saying she ‘choked’ over Reflecting Pool case | CNN Politics

President Donald Trump, who has said US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro “choked” over the Reflecting Pool vandalism case, did not fire his longtime ally during an afternoon White House meeting, nor did she offer her resignation, multiple sources told CNN.

Donald Trump is considering removing Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney for the District of Columbia, over a Justice Department conclusion that problems with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool stemmed from a flawed renovation rather than vandalism, two people familiar with his thinking told CNN.

The president is “furious” with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend. They added that based on his criticisms of her, they find it “highly likely she’s removed from her job.”

The other source, a senior administration official, said Trump was “blindsided” by Pirro’s court filing: “The president did not know beforehand that she was going to do that.”

    So he’s going to remove Boxwine Jeanine because of hiring his own pool guy to do a rush job and then he drove his car on it?

    She’s a terrible person and a fucking moron besides, but…how is this her fault?

      She has the “wrong” genitals. Only the women are seeing their careers burned alive. He’s a narcissistic, misogynistic, cowardly bully. And a blithering dumbass.

        not to defend the misogyny, but I feel like these people doused their career in gasoline the minute they accepted a job in this administration, the only question is when he’s gonna throw the match.
