Jeanine Pirro Says People Who 'Vandalize' Reflecting Pool Will Be Prosecuted

Source: Huff Post/Reuters

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
