Summary
U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche expressed support for U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro after her office dropped the vandalism case involving the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The case was dropped due to evidence suggesting the damage may have been caused by a botched renovation rather than vandalism. Blanche acknowledged President Trump’s frustration with the case but stated that Pirro is doing a “phenomenal job” prosecuting vandalism involving memorials and monuments.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Todd Blanche supports Jeanine Pirro, but also acknowledges President Trump’s frustration. The case against David Hearn was dropped due to lack of evidence. A witness claimed to have seen Hearn vandalizing the reflecting pool, but this is not enough to prove the case. Pirro’s office is still pursuing other vandalism cases, including a recent one involving a veterans memorial.
The familiar dance of support and frustration continues, with all parties playing their expected roles.
