But on Friday, Pirro’s team moved to dismiss the case against Hearn, admitting that internal Interior Department documents demonstrated that there had been extensive damage that was the result of a rushed and “botched” installation process. Pirro’s team also moved to dismiss misdemeanor cases brought against three others in connection with incidents at the Reflecting Pool.

President Donald Trump wasn’t pleased. He told reporters on Monday that Pirro “choked” and “folded like an umbrella” and claimed that she’s been facing a hostile judge, even though no judge had taken any substantive action in the case. Hours later, Pirro visited the White House, bringing with her an evidence box.

Trump is just trying to save face after accusing people of vandalism as the main cause of the damage.

I think it's probably a little of column a) and b.)

It's likely that the installation was rushed and that led to a failure of the product to adhere.
It's also likely that people were messing with it and exaggerated the already existing problem.

I appreciate Trump's efforts to improve the D.C. monuments, but this is such a non-issue in the scheme of things.

Pirrois annoying as shite and yells in order to try to make her point. But if she knew she could rightfully convict them, she would.

Trump is using her as a scapegoat for the fricked up reflecting pool job, just as it states in the blurb from the Interior Dept.

Defending the lie against the truth, even when the truth is objective and obvious, is a hallmark of both Trump and MAGA.

Is anyone surprise by this?

If your get a new paint job and it starts bubbling up and you peel off some it, was it your fault or the installation?

Engineers that evaluated the job cited that it was applied wrong. It was bubbling up and peeling in other areas.

If that case went to trial, the guy would get off. This is such a silly thing to get upset about.

There were people on video vandalizing.

Other than Rudy, Pirro is his closest ally. Trump is acting like an idiot. He better make sure his joint chiefs are advising him correctly on Iran, before this petty crap.

Not everyone that disagrees with Trump is uniparty.

Wipe the jizz off your face and slap yourself silly.

Yeah he can fire her, but that doesn’t achieve a conviction for vandalism when there is no supporting evidence.

She’s not jumping on another grenade just because Trump is deranged enough to believe it himself…

Which is worse for her reputation….? Getting fired by Trump now, or going along with the charade up until the court asks for evidence?

LMFAO. Nobody could have made a viable prosecution out of that nonsense.
Pirro knew better than to risk her license by going to court with a crap case that bordered on the fraudulent…

Same could be said of Pence or Bolton. He makes picks based on his gut reaction.

Trump is a narcissist and thinks he's infallible. That's why he defended, "Warp Speed" so much - even though the vaccine was hugely unpopular with the public. He will never admit he made a mistake. That's not a good trait to have in a leader. Being able to recognize mistakes and honestly address them is someone I'd rather follow than someone that can't accept fault.

We live in bizarro land where the president is considering firing someone because they won't pursue criminal charges against innocent people. Yikes.

Trump is all we got and I sure as heck ain't going to the tuckertard darkside or agreeing with democrats ever.

But Trump says stupid shite and it is okay to call it out. This is one of those times.

No one can fundraise like Trump. I hope he got more money, as the dems are broke. I wish he would cut bait in Iran and seek counsel from the Pentagon, from those that aren't on the CCPs payroll.
