The Justice Department knew or should have known for weeks that its case against a former Olympian charged with intentionally damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was flawed, and that he bore no responsibility for longstanding problems at the landmark, defense lawyers said Tuesday.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro on Friday moved to dismiss the indictment against David Hearn, saying in a 20-page filing that newly produced evidence from the Interior Department showed the former Olympic canoeist was not responsible for damage to the pool’s lining.
Pirro’s office attributed the damage instead to 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 July 4, as directed by President Donald Trump.
Everyone knew Trump was lying about this but the way our government works now is everyone has to make whatever delusional thing that comes out of Trump’s mouth as real as possible. What a way to run a country.
Anyone not in the stupid conservative cult watching this farce about (yet another) Donvict vanity project could see that.
Speaking of vanity projects, I cannot wait to see all of Donvict’s tacky bullshit ripped down.
You can beat the case, but you can’t beat the ride
Has been an open secret for generations by now, I’m sure it was happening before the 1960s, but the phrase was around back then.
It’s not just going to fix itself, we have to fucking do it.
Biden wasted all the momentum for justice reform last time, we literally can’t afford to do that again.
We need to make sure progressives get thru primaries and to the general.
I’ve also heard “the process is the punishment”
If you’re counting on Americans to take part in democracy, and do the right thing, you’re gonna have a bad time.
Only when they have that same bullshit defeatest attitude that you just showed us…
The world is waiting for America to show us all something different.
Then they haven’t been watching any election since the end of 2024…
We’ll see what happens in november.
Yes, that is how linear time works…
But if you’ve ignored everything up to November, I’m not going to be surprised when you come up with a reason why those don’t count either.
I’m not going to be surprised when Trump cancels the midterms…even though States run them, and not even the Civil War could stop them in the past.
I don’t think Pirro knows much about much either way
“Flawed”
