Clown show. Three ring circus. I hope Hearn sues the fuck out of…somebody.

Government lawyers said in a 20-page court filing that additional documents provided by the Interior Department since the indictment of David Hearn show that the damage was the result of a botched installation by a contractor as well as “the rush to complete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration in the weeks surrounding Independence Day 2026.” In addition, a recent visual inspection revealed damage throughout the pool, including in the middle — where prosecutors say a vandal would not likely attempt to peel the lining.

”The witness’s testimony established that the pool had substantial preexisting damage requiring repair before any alleged conduct by Mr. Hearn,” his lawyers wrote. “According to the witness, the pool was leaking more than one million gallons of water per week; its expansion joints had exceeded their service life; and the liner already contained a rip.”

    Republicans are wasting more taxpayer dollars than ever before! Look at the waste of time this witch hunt for Fauci is. The whole waste of obstructing justice for the Epstein victims is another obvious example. We’re paying McConnell’s salary while he’s unable to vote in the Senate. They keep funding an unending illegal war in Iran. Republicans misuse public funds and they just don’t stop!

      They would gladly spend a million dollars of your tax money to hurt you before they spend one hundred to help you.

      And it’s all your money to begin with

        Spending money to help people is the only use of tax money they consider ‘waste’.

      The point was the many headlines that said the ex Olympian damaged the pool and that’s what most people will remember. Not as much press for the dismissal.
