Trump admin drops reflecting pool charges and admits flawed repairs

Wasnt bad enough to botch the repairs but of course they had to lie like they always do, and blame someone else. Inept, dishonest administration was once again inept and dishonest, shocker.

US prosecutors have dropped charges against a former Olympian who had been accused of vandalising the Reflecting Pool in Washington DC, writing in court documents that the damage is now believed to be "the result of flawed installation by the contractor".
A document filed by prosecutors in Washington DC on Friday says new information "strongly suggests that a rushed and botched installation" job overseen by the US Department of Interior led to the damage.
David Hearn, a champion canoeist, had been facing a 10-year prison sentence if found guilty after his arrest last month.
In a statement, his lawyers accused the Trump administration of abuse of power, and said it "owes Mr Hearn an apology".
quote:
In the court filing on Friday the Trump administration said that after charges were filed against Hearn, new information from the Department of Interior (DOI) indicated "that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor" and "the rush to complete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration in the weeks surrounding Independence Day 2026".
"It was not until after these documents were produced that [prosecutors] first became aware of information showing that the damage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism as initially represented by DOI."

True but still better than anything the Democrats had then and now to offer.

I see your parents were siblings, so it’s not your fault you’re retarded.

Hahaha. Good retort. Actually, who gives a damn. With all the things going on in this world at the moment, rest assured, nobody gives a shite.

Don't they have this guy on video in the pool? and didn't he claim that he entered the pool but didn't vandalize it?
Sounds like trespassing at the very least.

Lied about not being able to stop millions of illegals from walking into the country, flew them all over the place for free, gave them all your tax money, refuse to send them home. Preemptively pardon guy who lied about global pandemic = good president
Botched reflecting pool project while you losers try to shoot him all the time for being a “nazi king” = worst president of all time.
You are a gay retard ;)

Wait, so new information comes out exonerating the individual so they drop the charges, as they should. If this had been the Biden administration, they would have swept the exonerating information under the rug and thrown him in jail without bail. So, excuse me but what exactly are you upset about?

And after this Trump tried to grand jury the New York Times reporters who broke the story about the new Air Force One problems in Turkey, all because he was embarrased.
The way that Trump obsesses over random shite that he finds embarrassing and his inability to keep his eye on the ball will always be concerning. Having thick skin is one of the best traits a president can have, and Trump is one of hte most sensitive heterosexual men on the planet. He's a strange dude, for sure.

Arresting a few innocent people isn't terribly egregious in the big scheme of things, but it's just completely bizzare. Choosing the reflecting pool of all things as a hill to fight on and lie to the American people about is one of those things that makes you question Trump's sanity.
The president is completely bat shite crazy, but the last guy was a worse president, so therefore it's okay that the new guy is batshit crazy.

The map Trump was talking about did exist at one point because I watch those things daily and I saw it. In this case he wasn't making it up, the maps were changed (they change constantly).
In fact, it went higher into Alabama than he's even drawn here.
It became less like in the picture he is drawing on because the actual path of the hurricane changed and headed north more. AKA, it slowed down and that also changed the length of the predicted path. It eventually slowed and turned so much it didn't even really hit the coast. Earlier in the week it wasn't expected to make a north turn until it got into the gulf, aka less/no steering directions that would slow it down.
I watch those things daily and they constantly change.
The guy is a narcissist and no doubt can't handle hits to his ego. But in this case, he was right.

Anyone with two brain cells knew it was a botched job by the contractor except MAGA. Amazing.

Correct, I would prefer significantly better options for leaders on both sides, but the point has been the same all along - one side has gotten in a rocket ship and gone light speed off the reservation, and are now shoving ketchup packets in their butts to have fake periods, while screaming at the rest of the people for being nazis if we don’t acknowledge they are pregnant men.
Given the choices, it’s a no brainer, and has been the position of many from day 1.
You let me know if you think the rocket ship crew is behaving any more rationally these days and if attacking trumps swimming pool is actually outside the realm of possibilities? Be honest
The funny part is that Trump is quite literally your own creation for refusing to stop being nuclear level retarded

Cult 101. If it weren't so sad and embarrassing, it would be funny.
