The attorneys for three-time U.S. Olympian David Hearn have issued a powerful statement after D.C. attorney Jeanine Pirr

Pirro is a stupid woman.



The attorneys for three-time U.S. Olympian David Hearn have issued a powerful statement after D.C. attorney Jeanine Pirro announced a felony charge against Hearn for touching the Reflecting Pool water, in an attempt to blame others for Trump's failures.

"Davey Hearn is innocent. These charges are outrageous and should be alarming to every American. This indictment reflects the Administration's effort to shift blame for their own failures. On the eve of our nation's Independence Day, Americans should be deeply concerned by the misuse of government power against an ordinary citizen based on a concocted narrative. The justice system exists to determine facts, not to provide political cover." - Norm Eisen, Democracy Defenders Fund & Mary Dohrmann, Washington Litigation Group

and evidence or outright lie in grand jury proceedings.

I don't remember the specific case or location, but one indictments against a Trump "enemy" was later thrown out.by a judge when it was found that the AG lied to the jury in order to get an indictment.

because I doubt that that indictment was obtained without prosecutorial misconduct. It's happened too often to trust that there was no malfeasance on the part of the so-called DOJ. Or to quote their very own ronnie: trust but verify.

Hire a shitty company, they do a shitty job, and now we have a shitty result. Someone has to "pay" for Trump's incompetence, and we know he'll never accept responsibility for his failures.
This is easy for him, since he so many enablers around him who are willing to cover his ass with lies, and false accusations.
They are the ultimate ass kissers, and are truly the ones to blame, since they know what they are doing is wrong, but they do it anyway to stay in their prestigious, phony baloney jobs.

presents the case.
So considering Pirro's claims on TV, it sound like they claimed he tore a piece of blue paint with his bare hands.

You can’t just walk up to a painted surface and tear sheets off it. The paint would have to be peeling off on its own in order to tear sheets off. In other words, already ruined. What a shit show your country has turned into. My condolences, and happy 250th…🙁

Grand juries are one-sided in that only the prosecutor's case is heard. So you may be familiar with the phrase "you can indict a ham sandwich."
(But apparently, Turkey sandwiches are tougher to put a rap on since they couldn't get an indictment on the guy that threw one at some feds).
