NEW YORK, June 21 (Reuters) - People caught vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on Washington’s National Mall will be fully prosecuted, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said on Sunday.

President Donald Trump has blamed vandalism for recent problems with the newly renovated pool, including its new blue paint peeling off. Citations for vandalism have been issued, Pirro said on Sunday, adding that even minor crimes must be prosecuted to keep the U.S. capital safe.

The peeling paint was visible in the 2,000-foot-long rectangular pool, a major national landmark, less than two weeks after Trump declared its $14.7 million renovation project completed on June 6. Trump on Saturday claimed, without providing evidence, that vandals poured corrosive chemicals into the pool.

Anyone who is in a position of vandalizing or attempting to vandalize will face the criminal justice system in D.C.,” Pirro told Fox News’ “Sunday Briefing” program.

The latest "Pirro Special™".

[msongs]

1. people who commited treason on jan 6 are pardoned and rewarded. hey pirro the criminals are in the white house

[mountain grammy]

2. Sure thing psycho

Lock Donnie up right the hell now.

[Old Crank]

3. She needs to

crawl back into her bottle.

[Hey Joe]

31. Jeanine Pirro Grigio awakens from her drunken

stupor just long enough to say something
stupid and cast blame over the innocent.
Just another day in the DOJ.

[Skittles]

4. making up shit to arrest people SOUNDS LIKE FASCISM TO ME

yes INDEED

and if anyone VANDLIZED that pool, it was DONALD FUCKING TRUMP

[QueerDuck]

5. Atta girl! 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

[MissouriDem47]

6. That would be Trump.

Trump cost of us millions of dollars to do it. We should be paid back.

[tanyev]

10. And his incompetent pool guys.

Go get ‘em, Jeanine! /sarcasm

[azureblue]

24. 2 stupids right in a row

And pedo protector Pirro trying to distract- from two stupids --

1- using a dark color - anyone who knows pools knows that a dark color makes the bottom warm, which promotes Algae growth
2 - using Hydrogen peroxide will remove paint.

[Flatrat]

7. But people who raped children are protected

[AverageOldGuy]

8. She can bring all the charges she wants.

She still has to get the charges through a grand jury and, if she can do that, then she has to get past a jury.

[KS Toronado]

17. She'll have a tough time proving how you vandalize water by looking at it.

[LeftInTX]

37. I think a few people were picking up souvenirs.

Not vandalism...but I probably would have grabbed a piece of that stuff just out curiousity. It's not hurting anything. I guess if they post signs about not touching it, I guess it could result in a citation. But my hunch is that they didn't even have signs posted.

[The Blue Flower]

27. But all those innocent people have to hire lawyers

What they're doing is criminal. Or should be.

[Bluetus]

32. Is this "judge" even a real attorney?

She doesn't seem to know much about the law. Maybe there was a time when she knew some of this stuff, before her brain was pickled with alcohol.

Imaging the damage these people would be doing if they were as competent as Hitler's people. Hitler had a real mission other than himself. It was a terrible vision for humanity, but the point is that Hitler had a huge desire for it to be successful globally. While he led the charge, his vision was of a highly organized hierarchy, where strong leaders were in place at every level.

Trump's vision is personal wealth and unlimited personal power. He doesn't want ANY competent people around him. He only wants people who will follow his orders and help him achieve his crimes. These are not competent people. In fact, it is hard to imaging any less competent people thatn Pirro, Kennedy, Witkoff etc.

Miller may be the one exception. Hitler would have hired Miller in a heartbeat. How many of the others would Hitler have hired into positions of major authority?

[Bengus81]

9. Fine...let's get a jury trial for the guy on his bike that touched peeling paint

Go for it, get a jury and roll your dice. Now...the ABC correspondent was "peeling rubber" off the surface??

You commenting while loaded Pirro?

[Javaman]

11. just because she says something does not make it true. Sandwich anyone? nt

[Bengus81]

13. She's like Patel,anything to try and please her Fuhrer. But yeah, a grand jury

will laugh her ass out of the room faster than the sub sandwich "case".

[travelingthrulife]

33. I would be so pissed if I had to do jury duty for that.

[WestMichRad]

16. Yeah, they had more of a case against the sandwich guy...

… than against anyone touching the peeled paint or poking at the water in the reflecting pool.
But such is the shitstain’s DOJ.

[mwb970]

12. Did she say how the vandals accomplished their destruction?

It's a REALLY big pool. How much damage can one or two people do? Am I missing something here?

[Dangling0826]

14. I hope she is correct

In two and half years from now he will be!

[LilElf70]

15. Pirro

has proven over and over again how much of a suck up classic airbag she is. It's how she got her current job. This woman likes to kiss rings.

[GiqueCee]

26. "rings"...

... aren't the first things that come to mind when discussing obsequious osculation.

[LilElf70]

41. I agree, but

I was in a good mood today......

[GiqueCee]

43. Well, don't let...

... this grumpy old buzzard harsh your mellow! Have a wonderful day. I would, but it's gonna rain this afternoon... again.

[GB_RN]

18. By All Means, "Judge" Jeanine...

Right after you polish off your morning booze bottle, go prosecute your boss for it. He’s the one, along with his corrupt crony-buddy who owns the contractor, who fucked it up. They are the vandals.

[johnnyplankton]

19. So she's prosecuting microbes?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

20. Yo Jeanine! If I were to dip my finger in the Reflecting Pool, you're going to prosecute me?

To the fullest extent of the law?

Surely you jest!

[twodogsbarking]

22. Don't call me shirley.

[twodogsbarking]

21. If Trump and Pirro don't protect us from Unicorns who will. Are you willing to take the risk.

[Scalded Nun]

23. More cases in her long line of cases getting tossed. Moron.

[GiqueCee]

25. TRUMP "VANDALIZED" THE GODDAM POOL!

And most of Washington D.C. as well. Talk about pointless destruction, just look at the hole in the ground where the East Wing used to be.

[Norrrm]

28. Jeanine, here's a hint.

[FakeNoose]

44. Exactly RIGHT! Chump's SS guys drove on it when the paint was hardly dry

Here's your proof of "vandalism" right here Jeanine!

If you're going to prosecute this, at least name the REAL culprits.

[cab67]

29. and the undead will be prohibited from attending public school.

Same practical impact.

[twodogsbarking]

30. So Trump will be prosecuted?

[SamuelAdams]

34. Aren't there any real crimes for her office to prosecute?

[Grins]

35. "People caught vandalizing the Reflecting Pool will be fully prosecuted!" - Pirro. So....Trump?

It's about time the DoJ went after Trump. Who more describes that charge than Trump?

[aggiesal]

36. Masters of distraction, transfer of blame. n/t

[Clouds Passing]

38. PTL!

[moonshinegnomie]

39. when teh charges are dismissed )and they will be)

the prosecutors involved should be disbarred and have to reimburse the so called vandals for legal expenses

[maxsolomon]

40. Change the narrative, feed the RWNM.

Can't have the discussion center on the Dotard's terrible idea of painting the Reflecting Pool dark blue without addressing the actual technical problems of maintaining a 1/3-mile-long petri dish.

[hunter]

45. Having the education and experience to manage a water feature like this is too woke...

... and loyalty to Trump is valued more than competence.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

42. These prosecutions will be just as successful and the subway guy's prosecution

[Martin68]

46. She should start with the moron that ordered them to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool, stripping the paint.
