I'm convinced that if you gave a chimp enough bananas, he'd do a better job than Judge Drinky McWinebox
She seemed so promising...a shining star in Uncle Rupe's galaxy of Fox "News" infotainment propagandists. She seemed like a NATURAL for her NEW gig as Trump's U.S. Attorney for D.C.
The way she MASTERFULLY slurs her words. Her raw CHARISMA. What happened? How could things have gone so wrong?
DC Grand Jury Rejects Yet Another Case Brought By Prosecutors In Trump Crackdown
Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro's office has now whiffed on three cases alleging defendants assaulted federal agents during Trump's police takeover.

The U.S. attorney’s office for D.C., which is headed by Trump ally and former Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro, was unable to secure grand-jury indictments in two other such cases in recent days. It’s a strong indication that D.C. citizens are skeptical of the government’s allegations and, at least in these cases, agree with defense attorneys that the charges are overblown.
Earlier this week, a grand jury took a pass on indicting Sean Charles Dunn for allegedly assaulting a Customs and Border Protection officer by throwing a sandwich at him.
Prosecutors also swung and missed three times trying to get an indictment against Sydney Lori Reid. Reid had filmed immigration agents in public during an inmate swap in July and got shoved against a wall. Prosecutors alleged she “forcefully pushed” a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent during the incident.
Like the grand juries, some judges in federal court have been leery of the cases Pirro’s office has been bringing. One of them, Judge Zia M. Faruqui, chastised the prosecutor’s office for pursuing a gun case built on what he called a blatantly illegal search that violated the Fourth Amendment. “Lawlessness cannot come from the government,” he announced.
