The attorneys for three-time U.S. Olympian David Hearn have issued a powerful statement after D.C. attorney Jeanine Pirr

[riversedge]

Pirro is a stupid woman.



The attorneys for three-time U.S. Olympian David Hearn have issued a powerful statement after D.C. attorney Jeanine Pirro announced a felony charge against Hearn for touching the Reflecting Pool water, in an attempt to blame others for Trump's failures.

"Davey Hearn is innocent. These charges are outrageous and should be alarming to every American. This indictment reflects the Administration's effort to shift blame for their own failures. On the eve of our nation's Independence Day, Americans should be deeply concerned by the misuse of government power against an ordinary citizen based on a concocted narrative. The justice system exists to determine facts, not to provide political cover." - Norm Eisen, Democracy Defenders Fund & Mary Dohrmann, Washington Litigation Group

1. Ugh....so annoying, oh and did I say how much I totally despise her and THIS GAWD DAMN ADMINISTRATION????

🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

[Norrrm]

2. Hard core criminal

[chicoescuela]

17. I put my hands on a 13 year old girl, no problem

[Javaman]

3. oh please let this go to discovery! nt

[FakeNoose]

4. I cannot believe that a DC jury would convict him

It's just a waste-of-time circus.

[LisaL]

6. One would think so, but they managed to

get a grand jury to indict him.

[Martin Eden]

11. I wonder how they convinced the jury

I highly doubt the prosecutors were truthful.

[wnylib]

16. MAGA attorneys have been known to misrepresent facts

and evidence or outright lie in grand jury proceedings.

I don't remember the specific case or location, but one indictments against a Trump "enemy" was later thrown out.by a judge when it was found that the AG lied to the jury in order to get an indictment.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

33. Recently the "Broadview six" case near Chicago.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chicago-broadview-six-federal-prosecutor-cases-under-review/

Top federal prosecutor in Chicago says more than 1,000 cases under review after Broadview Six misconduct revelations

[Ilsa]

43. Jack Smith addressed this during his interview yesterday.

He talked about judges losing confidence that Justice Department prosecutors are telling the truth. Too many have been caught lying about evidence, witnesses, etc.

[calimary]

46. Boy. That hurts.

Prosecutors should be worthy of our trust.

[hamsterjill]

24. I wonder who the jurors were.

n/t

[MLWR]

13. And I hope that Norm Eisen demands to see the Grand Jury transcripts

because I doubt that that indictment was obtained without prosecutorial misconduct. It's happened too often to trust that there was no malfeasance on the part of the so-called DOJ. Or to quote their very own ronnie: trust but verify.

[LisaL]

15. He seems to know what he is doing.

There is a gofundme going for the legal fees.

[allegorical oracle]

27. Cases aren't supposed to go before a Grand Jury unless there's a high

probability of conviction. How do the attorneys in this DOJ retain their bar memberships?

[LisaL]

5. Since he is charged with a felony,

I fail to see how it would not go to discovery.

[patphil]

10. This is all being done to deflect people's attention away from the incompetence of the company that did the work.

Hire a shitty company, they do a shitty job, and now we have a shitty result. Someone has to "pay" for Trump's incompetence, and we know he'll never accept responsibility for his failures.
This is easy for him, since he so many enablers around him who are willing to cover his ass with lies, and false accusations.
They are the ultimate ass kissers, and are truly the ones to blame, since they know what they are doing is wrong, but they do it anyway to stay in their prestigious, phony baloney jobs.

[MissouriDem47]

7. Hopefully

Hopefully, he will sue the government after his case is thrown out of court.

[Katinfl]

8. How in the hell did a grand jury indict him? It should have been thrown out like the ham sandwich fiasco.

[LisaL]

9. I don't think defense is allowed at the grand jury, and prosecution

presents the case.
So considering Pirro's claims on TV, it sound like they claimed he tore a piece of blue paint with his bare hands.

[robbob]

12. Even if what they claim is true (pretty sure they're lying: it's what they do...)

You can’t just walk up to a painted surface and tear sheets off it. The paint would have to be peeling off on its own in order to tear sheets off. In other words, already ruined. What a shit show your country has turned into. My condolences, and happy 250th…🙁

[LisaL]

14. Yea, I don't know how you would tear up a piece of paint

from inside the pool unless it was already peeling. Not that I believe that is what happened here.

[BaronChocula]

22. LisaL is correct

Grand juries are one-sided in that only the prosecutor's case is heard. So you may be familiar with the phrase "you can indict a ham sandwich."
(But apparently, Turkey sandwiches are tougher to put a rap on since they couldn't get an indictment on the guy that threw one at some feds).

[Katinfl]

25. I know the defense is not at the grand jury, but still this is a bogus and ridiculous charge.

[barbtries]

18. we just keep sinking deeper

into bizarro world.

he's got a good lawyer in Norm Eisen.

[70sEraVet]

19. The paint on the pool is so fragile, that touching it is vandalism, but.....

This was ok?

[LisaL]

20. His lawyer should show that video

to the jury.

[SergeStorms]

32. Why couldn't....

The shit-gibbon just get out of the "Beast" and walk a few steps if he wanted to examine the "workmanship?"

What a lazy slug. Driving across it was undoubtedly the reason the crap peeled.

[The Madcap]

21. Since it was already peeling, how could it possibly be a felony?

Political blame game in action.

[BidenRocks]

23. How can you break what was already broken?

Pirro all pumped up, forgot to use the word "allegedly"!
Jury influencing!
She's judge, jury and executioner.
Drunk with power!

[ShazzieB]

28. I'm sure she is drunk.

In more ways than one.

[Katinfl]

26. I believe several other people were arrested or detained . Why single him out?

[ShazzieB]

29. Maybe he's just the first?

I don't really know, haven't been following this. But if multiple people are charged in separate incidents, their (bogus) indictments will presumably be handled separately.

No matter how you slice it, it's a disgraceful waste of taxpayers' money.

[cab67]

39. probably because no one else has been arrested or detained.

I know there have been press releases claiming such arrests, but so far, nothing's been shown to back it up.

[calimary]

49. Maybe Pirro saw something in his background that she could raise a big ruckus about?

I’d expect her to be as manipulative as she could get away with. Headline chaser.

[SWBTATTReg]

30. They should nail her for false charges, false imprisonment, etc., in short, taking the freedom away from this guy w/

truly no reason to do so. He should sue the heck out of her for taking his freedom, etc. away (or trying to).

[Katinfl]

31. If this makes it to a courtroom there is a good chance the judge could throw it t.

[Buddyzbuddy]

34. Everytime one of these frivolous cases is brought before a judge it puts that US attorney at risk of reprimand, ridicule

and penalties from the judge. At worst, they risk their ability to practice law.
Doesn't Pirro objectively realize she is a punchline?

[Joinfortmill]

35. Her own day in court will come

[3catwoman3]

36. For a long time, I thought getting into and graduating from law...

“…from lawschool meant someone was highly intelligent.

Pirro and many others have made me question that.

[Cha]

37. TY & Norm Eisen! And all those working for

Democracy and Justice!

[Aussie105]

38. Labelling someone as 'an enemy of the state'

and handing out harsh punishment is a feature of totalitarian states like Russia and North Vietnam.

What does that say about America?

[Skittles]

48. on made-up charges, to boot

FASCIST AS ALL OUT FUCK

[wolfie001]

40. From an old bag who was caught going 119 mph on a NY highway

Her cult leader and she are both PIGS!!!

[oasis]

41. "Let's get ready to rumble"

[Historic NY]

42. This wine Box c--t....

is a disgrace to the law...her husband was a felon

[Scalded Nun]

44. Take a page from Trump

Anyone/everyone subjected to this bullshit needs to file a $10B lawsuit against the government for illegal persecution/prosecution.

[NJCher]

45. did anyone see trump describing

what he claims Hearn did? He went on way too long and he embellished his lie with a great deal of emotionalism. The more he lied, the more vicious he became. For example, when he described how Hearn tore the big gash in the pool, he became very animated and angry.

If the defense was able to get this clip (I checked youtube for it--not there, at least yet), it would be tremendous for their defense. There is no way that trump could have seen Hearn do this and the amount of emotionalism he portrayed is way out of bounds , not to mention that a president is never supposed to speak about a "crime" as it would bias the case.

This case is going nowhere.

[Skittles]

47. OUTSTANDING

I had said in a previous post I hope the defense goes VERY PUBLIC; these fascist fucks need a RIGHTEOUS SHAMING.
