Over the summer, Trump raged at Pirro for dropping the case against Olympic canoeist David Hearn, alleging that he somehow vandalized the reflecting pool following a renovation spearheaded by Trump.

Pirro's office dropped the case for lack of evidence.

Jeanine Pirro made a mistake, Trump declared back in August.

Don't worry about it," right? The administration knew all of this, according to the report, and they still arrested and charged former Olympian, David Hearn.

Janine Pirro was ahead of that case.

She actually came out and said, "We don't have any, we don't have any evidence.

They've got endless lawyers.

They got, you know, every, every available asset at their disposal.

And this David Hearn, this poor individual, all he's got is just the belief in the American political system.

I don't know, maybe one day I'll get to talk to him, but how many tens of thousands of dollars did he have to spend to defend himself, his reputation? Like most of the people who are gonna hear his name are gonna think he was involved in doing something diabolical with the pool.

It makes it very clear it is a vindictive political prosecution, just like the prosecutions of James Comey, Letitia James, my constituent Davey Hearn, the-

Yeah

What are they gonna say? When networks talk to each other, it's an antitrust violation? Well, then the pool is an antitrust violation, and the White House and Donald Trump are co-conspirators.

Is that odious White House Correspondents' Dinner when they get together to have a meal an antitrust violation? This gang uses government power and the law as a cudgel to try to beat down those that they disagree with, and we've seen it with the criminal prosecutions, Tish James, Jim Comey, Davey Hearn, the Olympian reflecting pool toucher.

We've showed them what's what.

We've filed briefs.
