Reality and Fantasy Collide Over the Reflecting Pool

President Donald Trump on Saturday sharply criticized U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s assessment that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was the result of shoddy construction and not the work of vandals, as he claims.

Pirro’s office, in a court filing on Friday, moved to drop criminal charges against a former Olympian, David Hearn, who had been accused of deliberately damaging the pool after it underwent a renovation ahead of the nation’s 250th birthday celebration last month.

Trump, in a posting on social media, acknowledged that there “may have been some contractor difficulty” in the installation of a new pool liner. But he continues to insist “the major damage was caused by VANDALS!”

Donnie Demento and his suckups like Burgham can continue to lie and spin and fuss all they want. And I'm sure that Pirro would like to sing along with the Fabualist Choir of Asskissers, but she has a real problem. Both she and the attorneys working for her are answerable to judges and to state bar ethics committees. And neither are impressed by hype and lies.

Pirro is licensed in New York, I believe, and this is what the professional responsibility statutes have to say about that:
If they persist with charges that are patently false and unsupported by evidence, there can be trouble. A number of the Bloated Lying Orange Boss's attorneys have lost their law licenses for lying to courts and for bringing absurd claims pushed by Cade Bone Spurs.

Pirro, and the attorneys working for her, are well aware of that. They also know that those who sacrifice themselves for Don Snoreleone don't end up well. And so they aren't going to do that.
