Trump Announces Judge Jeanine Pirro As Interim US Attorney for DC

President Donald Trump appointed Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Known for her no-nonsense style and unapologetic defense of the America First agenda, Pirro’s appointment signals a sharp turn away from the politically motivated prosecutions and soft-on-crime policies that have plagued the DOJ under prior leadership.

In a Truth Social post, Trump announced that Pirro will serve as Washington’s interim U.S. Attorney, praising her as highly qualified and calling her one of the top district attorneys in New York’s history.

“During her time in office, Jeanine was a powerful crusader for victims of crime. Her establishment of the Domestic Violence Bureau in her Prosecutor’s Office was the first in the Nation. She excelled in all ways,” Trump wrote. “Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations, Jeanine!”

Good question. And why is this just an interim appointment? Same with Alina Habba!

Also, if Thom Tillis was not going to vote for Ed Martin’s appointment, what on earth would make him vote for Judge Jeanine? I’m sure she’s the more conservative and more supporting of the J6ers than Martin ever was!!!

I should be glad Trump nominated her, but she is more needed on The Five and on Fox! She will be greatly missed.

Pirro will be tougher on the bad guys than Ed Martin would have been (and he was not going to be a softie).

Tillis has egg on his face after this development. Ha. Ha.

Tillis FA’d. Now he should lawyer up because he’s about to FO. Going to make a visit to the proctologist look like a picnic.

Tillis sure did misplay his hand. If anything, Judge Pirro will be tougher on the swamp than Martin would have been.

What’s worse (for Tillis) is that the spotlight is now on him. And cockroaches don’t like spotlights. As Fred Sanford would say…

Hey Trailer Trash Tillis, we have a stable full of interim folks who would love a chomp of your corrupt ass, so keep it up, loser.

The rumor is that Tillis has engaged a firm that has a very large industrial shredder truck. What a pathetic, compromised schmuck.

I destroyed the evidence that I would have used to defend myself is not a defense.

In fact, in American law, if proven that evidence was destroyed, it is assumed such evidence was destroyed exactly because it would have not favored you.

I'm glad that I won't ever be going on to her docket.

She is one tough judge and I hope she gets Jack Smith as one of her first cases.

I hope so! Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino have all been quite disappointing so far. Praying and Judge Jeanine will come through!

They last up to a year. If Tillis wants to play this game, Trump can outlast him. I’m sue PDJT has a long line of people willing to take interim appointments.

Do Interim appointment have to go through confirmation prices by Senate?

With Alina Babba Jennine Pirro, Trump is finally getting women with guts on his staff.

Kristie Noem looks like a hooker with he blowjob lips and three inch hoop earrings. She spends more time in front of the mirror than kicking ass. Bondi makes me cringe with her breathless melodramatic delivery reading her scripts.
