What is it with Donald Dumb appointing incompetent low-IQ white women as prosecutors? Jeanine Pirro is of Lebanese descent and she is of that backward conservative herd of Lebanese-Americans who fled dictators and warlords from their country of origin, only to continue worshipping imbecile American dictators and warlords. Haven't they learned from their own decades and centuries of torment - that caused them and their families to flee to America - under religious warlord criminals?
Just like Trump, Pirro thinks that defiance and obtuse stubborness makes her look "tough", which is an image that brutish MAGA rednecks and peasants like. But the appearance of toughness is only good on TV (a career she shares with the Moron-in-Chief), because in real life, only the substance and the quality matter, not appearances. Pirro has been trying and failing to convict an anti-ICE-Gestapo protestor, but judges are not having it.
Get her mugly face out of our lives, please.
Similarly, the bimboesque Miss Colorado Prosecutor Lindsey Halligan dispatched by Donald J Dumb to persecute Letitia James and James Comey is already sinking in her own incompetence. When you have a demented senile jackass in charge, decent professional people retreat and only the bad, the ugly and the incompetent losers come forward trying to secure a place in the sun.

DC Woman Accused Of Assaulting Agent During ICE Encounter Found Not Guilty

A Washington, D.C., woman accused of assaulting a federal agent was found not guilty by a jury on Thursday, the latest embarrassment for Jeanine Pirro, President Donald Trump’s U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.
Prosecutors had alleged Sidney Lori Reid kicked a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent during an altercation outside the D.C. Jail in July. Reid had been filming Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers while they were detaining a man who’d just been released from the jail.
Pirro’s office tried three times to indict Reid on a felony assault charge, but D.C. grand juries declined to return an indictment each time — a highly unusual occurrence that suggested the flimsiness of the government’s case.
After whiffing on the felony counts, prosecutors ended up trying Reid on a misdemeanor charge of assaulting or impeding a federal agent — but they couldn’t even win that case. The jury deliberated for less than two hours on Thursday before returning the verdict of not guilty, WUSA9 reported.
Reid, in a statement through her attorneys, said the verdict shows “that this administration and their peons are not able to invoke fear in all citizens.”
“I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump’s irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man,” she said. “Knowing that I can stand in front of 12 of my fellow citizens and be found not guilty for standing up for basic human rights makes me feel like, despite the scary times we live in, we have hope for the future.”

A spokesperson for Pirro could not immediately be reached on Thursday.
Reid’s public defenders, Tezira Abe and Eugene Ohm, said in a statement that the case was meant to be a “warning” from the Justice Department that it would “have the backs of ICE goons.”
“And though we’re pleased with the result, Ms. Reid cannot get back the two nights she spent in jail because ICE wanted to teach her a lesson,” they said.
Reid’s arrest preceded Trump’s federal takeover of policing in Washington in August, but it was part of a string of dubious cases in which Pirro alleged district residents had assaulted federal officers in the course of their duties.
In several cases, prosecutors initially pursued felony charges that carried up to eight years in prison, but ultimately dropped them after either grand juries rejected them or their weaknesses became all too apparent. At least two judges voiced their frustration in hearings last month at how such charges were being filed and then dropped.
In a closing argument for Reid, Abe referred to the federal agents as a lawless “goon squad,” and argued the case was a huge waste of time, according to WUSA9. “You should be livid that the government brought this case,” she said.
Paul Nguyen, who’d been accused of assaulting a Department of Homeland Security officer during an early-morning scuffle near a bar, ended up spending four nights in jail. His case was ultimately thrown out.
“It was the scariest experience of my life,” Nguyen told HuffPost of his stay at the D.C. Jail, adding that he intended to file a civil lawsuit over the ordeal.
Legal experts told HuffPost last month that Pirro’s office appeared to be overcharging people for small offenses and that it could destroy public trust in the city’s prosecutors.
“When they throw the book at people for minor crimes, it kind of maps onto this sense that a lot of people in the Black community have that prosecutors are out to lock up everybody they can,” said Paul Butler, a professor at the Georgetown University Law Center. “That the interest isn’t so much public safety as it is putting people in prison.”
A Washington man who was charged with assault after throwing a sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent is scheduled to face trial next month.
Abe and Ohm said they had faith jurors in the district would reject cases they believe lack merit.
“The Department of Justice can continue to take these cases to trial to suppress dissent and to try and intimidate the people,” they said. “But in the end, as long as we have a jury system, our citizens will continue to rebuke the DOJ through speedy acquittals.”
