Can the DOJ be sued for frivolous prosecution now?
Kind of them to wait to drop the news at 5:00PM on a Friday.
Nobody believed the Olympian damaged the pool. Headlines about the pool falling apart after trumps botched work were circulating for weeks before the Olympian came on the scene. The trump administration is trying to instill a chilling effect that trump cannot be questioned or you will be prosecuted, even if its on false charges. The trump administration knows the charges won't still. They just want to cost regular Americans money and time they don't have as punishment for making trump look bad.
They talk a good game, and it frightens people, except every time they try this bullshit, they lose in humiliating fashion. They are virtuosically incompetence, and they are ALWAYS bluffing.
We need to stop hearing them, and start jeering them.
The fact they ended up netting an Olympian of all people, and one who had previously canoed in the pond, shows how stupid this whole thing was. We all knew this would be the outcome. Trump wasted tax payer dollars, skipped over proven government contract bidding processes, and ended up with shit for a result. His ballroom and arch will end no differently.

Don't forget also driving an armored mortorcade across it before the sealant had cured, lol! Even if the job had been done properly with competent contractors, that probably would have fucked it up.
Hell, even if it was cured, I guarantee those vehicles destroyed it. The armored vehicles the president rides in are insanely heavy, heavy to the point of them having ground pressure same or higher than a semi truck.
Honestly if I were the contractor I would sue Trump and the administration since their motorcade stunt damaging the liner is now giving their company worldwide coverage on being incompetent contractors.
I mean, they probably are, but I would still sue to at least minimize the damage.
Republicans are wasting more taxpayer dollars than ever before! Look at the waste of time this witch hunt for Fauci is. The whole waste of obstructing justice for the Epstein victims is another obvious example. We're paying McConnell's salary while he's unable to vote in the Senate. They keep funding an unending illegal war in Iran. Republicans misuse public funds and they just don't stop!
They would gladly spend a million dollars of your tax money to hurt you before they spend one hundred to help you.
And it's all your money to begin with
Spending money to help people is the only use of tax money they consider 'waste'.
The point was the many headlines that said the ex Olympian damaged the pool and that's what most people will remember. Not as much press for the dismissal.
A half finished arch would be a perfect monument to this president.
UGA could surely provide some engineering know-how in the event the arch needs extra support at its apex.
Tap for spoiler
Go Jackets!
So the obvious was finally discovered?
Only after great costs were incurred by the would-be defendants and not at all by the person or people that matter.
If Trump is so heavily involved in these prosecutions then perhaps one should argue that he himself is liable for their failures and should forfeit the cost that his defendants incur on his behalf.
No the obvious was forced into their tiny syphillitic brains enough that they realized they would not win. Not that it was ever the point.
That dude needs to sue them for $75 trillion.
Dr. Evil pinky gesture.
There were others charged too, right? Did they drop those? I hate how the media just pick one person to update us on and ignore others in the same situation.
There were three other misdemeanor cases, at least one of which has been dropped so far.
A spokesperson for Pirro said the filing spoke for itself. Her office also moved to dismiss at least one of the other three misdemeanor cases that had been brought in connection with the Reflecting Pool.
Isn't that about the same guy?
They were also looking for a woman that dipped her hand in the pool for a bit.
A bit too long I guess.
When is Trump going to be declared a litigious litigant, and prohibited from filing lawsuits?
*vexatious litigant
Every lawyer that works currently for the DOJ should be disbarred.
And most of them belong in prison.
How much did this bullshit cost the 'Murican taxpayers?
How are you guys enjoying all the winning over there?
I want to get off Mr. Orange's wild ride.
I could have saved a lot of people a lot of time (and money) if they had just ASKED ME!
In other news, this is a smokescreen. Specifically for Trump and many other powerful elites fucked kids on a CIA/mossad linked pedophile island.
Jeanine Pirro will be drowning her sorrows in a few boxes of cheap wine tonight. 🍷
Say it with me now: "The cruelty is the point"
Or I guess, "was" in this case.
I can still feel the stupidity. It hurts when I try to laugh.
If they prosecuted someone in a canoe for damage to the reflecting pool this could set a precedent for prosecuting anyone for changes to the pool, including the hiring of a pool boy to refurbish it.
It belongs to us all. So does the white house.
I think it's high time we remind these motherfuckers & it's best we do it in court. That's all they know besides money.
I say bring it.
