The DC US attorney’s office under Jeanine Pirro has had an unusually low win rate in trials in Washington’s federal district court this year, at a moment when the White House has been clamoring for Donald Trump’s Justice Department to deliver on prosecutions.
In its first eight criminal trials this year, the DC US attorney’s office has won only half of them — far below the national average.
The dicey record appears to stem from several issues in court, including a jury pool that has lost trust in the Trump administration, the FBI and the Justice Department, according to roughly a dozen people who have interacted with juries in the DC District Court in recent months.
Jury Nullification
It has nothing to do with her.
It’s because Trump is pushing prosecution on bullshit claims, normally feds only prosecute if they can obviously win.
That doesn’t mean trump won’t fire her for it. It just means anyone who gets that spot is going to keep losing cases, because they’re being ordered to bring cases they don’t have a shot of winning.
