The non-stop comedy that is the Mushroom Cock administration recently saw his orangeness—which I nearly wrote as “his orangemess“, which I suppose is even more accurate—appoint Jeanine Pirro as attorney for DC, in which capacity she has… well, she’s not as unqualified for her job as some of Krasnov’s appointees have been for theirs, but she’s probably best known as a Fox News host rather than her legitimate legal career, and now that she’s back doing that she’s kind of stinking at it:
Immigration rights attorney Aaron Reichlin-Melnick was stupefied Monday night as President Donald Trump’s controversial U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, was forced to downgrade assault charges to a misdemeanor after failing to secure an indictment three times.
“DOJ tried and failed three times to indict a woman for allegedly assaulting an ICE officer during an arrest of two purported gang members,” reported Politico’s Kyle Cheney. “So they were forced to reduce her charge to a misdemeanor.” […]
This is a spectacular failure for Pirro, Reichlin-Melnick wrote on X.
“The old joke is that any good prosecutor could get a jury to indict a ham sandwich,” wrote Reichlin-Melnick. “Do you know how badly you have to be overcharging something for a grand jury to reject charges three times in a row? What an embarrassment.”
Funny he should mention that, cos her office just failed a second time to indict Sean Dunn over that Subway sandwich business:
Jeanine Pirro’s office again failed to secure an indictment against a suspect accused of assaulting federal agents patrolling the streets of Washington, D.C.
The U.S. attorney’s office was unable to persuade a federal grand jury to indict Sean Dunn on felony assault charges for throwing a submarine sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection officer in an incident caught on video that was widely shared on social media, reported the New York Times. […]
The newspaper noted that it’s “extremely unusual” for prosecutors to come away without an indictment because they control the information the grand jury hears about the case, and defendants aren’t even allowed to have their lawyers in the room as the evidence is presented.
I find that interesting, cos, well, I presume most if not all of the jury would’ve read about the case, it got enough media coverage, so what could have been kept from them? It’s not exactly a story with a lot of complications and details to control, it’s a pretty basic tale of one man throwing a sandwich at a cop and being caught doing it on camera… and they still couldn’t get an indictment against him? I feel like Sean’s going to be just fine if it comes to a third attempt…
