Donald Trump has been raging at Jeanine Pirro, the U.S.
Attorney for Washington, DC, because she dropped those high-profile prosecutions for alleged vandalism of his Reflecting Pool renovation.
That pressure is corrupt on its own.
But new leaks are making it look even worse.
CBS News reports that Pirro actually carried a box of evidence to the White House showing that the facts simply didn’t support those prosecutions.
The meeting got “heated,” per CBS, seemingly meaning Trump wanted prosecutions in spite of what the facts and the law dictated.
Meanwhile, we just learned this fiasco triggered private “tirades” from Trump, further underscoring his quest for lawless prosecutions.
We talked to former federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade, author of The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government.
She walks us through just how deeply irregular this presidential conduct truly is, discusses what has been lost at DOJ, and reflects on how a Democratic House and/or Senate can rein in all this madness next year.
