Donald Trump said Monday that U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro “choked” and “folded like an umbrella” in moving to drop charges against a former Olympian accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Speaking at an unrelated Oval Office event, Trump ducked questions about whether he’d fire Pirro, a former Fox News host and longtime ally he handpicked as top federal prosecutor in the nation’s capital. But the president kept up his drumbeat of sharp criticism, saying he remained disappointed by her assessment that damage to the Reflecting Pool was the result of shoddy construction, not vandalism.
Yeah how dare she…… review the evidence and make sound judgement for once in her life
I don’t think we can say this was sound judgement. She took it way too far to begin with, so now it’s hilariously embarrassing.
(Also they destroyed evidence… which is laughable.)
Of course she did. The accusations made big headlines. The dismissal, if it makes headlines at all, will be much smaller.
Propaganda!
Obviously, she should have faked some and filed additional charges.
Don’t misunderstand, she’s as black inside as he is. This is self preservation, lying to the court like this has serious ramifications for people working with the law. She could have lost everything.
