y'all forgotten about the other cases she's either dropped or had thrown out, like J Powell?
"Flag burning case: Just last week, Pirro’s office dropped the charges against a veteran who was prosecuted for burning an American flag outside the White House. The veteran, Jay Carey, was protesting a Trump executive order that urged the Justice Department to find ways to prosecute those who burned the flag. (The Supreme Court has held that flag burning is protected by the First Amendment.)
Facing a court deadline to respond to Carey’s claims that he was a victim of a vindictive prosecution for exercising his First Amendment rights, Pirro’s office quietly dropped the case with no explanation.
Subway Sandwich guy: In a widely-publicized case, Pirro’s office absurdly sought to bring felony assault charges against Sean Dunn, who threw a Subway sandwich at a Customs and Border Patrol agent to protest Trump’s federal law enforcement surge in Washington, D.C. The grand jury refused to indict Dunn for the felony offense. Pirro’s office then charged him with a misdemeanor, which does not require grand jury approval. At his misdemeanor trial, the jury found him not guilty.
Sidney Reid case: In another case stemming from protests of Trump’s surge of federal officers into D.C., Pirro’s office sought to charge Reid with felony assault after her minor scuffle with an agent let to some abrasions on the agent’s hand. Three separate grand juries rejected the felony charges. Once again, Pirro then charged the defendant with a misdemeanor – and once again, a trial jury found her not guilty.
So Much Winning
As I wrote here, the basic ground-level safeguards of the criminal justice system – including grand juries, trial juries, judges, and skilled defense counsel – are putting up effective roadblocks to Trump’s politicization of the justice system.
Pirro remains defiant, blaming liberal jurors and activist judges for her losses. But she has an abysmal track record of failed political prosecutions that should be an embarrassment. One has to wonder how long Trump, who famously abhors “losers,” will continue to put up with it."
