Pirro once again hosted her Trump-fluffing <em>White Nationalist Hour<\/em> with all the drooling ferocity she had before her brief suspension. She obviously learned nothing from her time-out, and offered no apology. Her <em>&#8220;Opening Statement&#8221;<\/em> segment addressed the release of the <em>&#8220;summary&#8221;<\/em> of special counsel Robert Mueller&#8217;s report by Trump&#8217;s plant in the Justice Department, Attorney General William Barr. However, it began with a torrid tirade that might better have been directed at Trump:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;When someone lies to you, do you just say &#8216;Don&#8217;t worry about it. I&#8217;ll get over it&#8217;? Well that&#8217;s not how our system works. There has to be accountability. There has to be a consequence. Because as the President himself said &#8216;This should never happen again.&#8217; And I can guarantee you it will happen again unless we make an example of the traitorous, treasonous group that accused Donald Trump of being an agent of the Russian government.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jeanine Pirro says an example must be made of &quot;the traitorous treasonous group that accused Donald Trump&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CwRBUCHnkv\">pic.twitter.com\/CwRBUCHnkv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jason S.

His flagrant lies and avoidance of accountability really is not the how system ought to work. And there definitely should be consequences for Trump and his vast army of criminal accomplices.<\/p>\n<p>Pirro went on to warn that investigations like the one Mueller conducted could become <em>&#8220;a blueprint for a future effort to overthrow the government.&#8221;<\/em> But she got it completely backwards. Mueller was probing activities that included undermining our democratic election by Trump and a hostile foreign country. He was the one working to prevent government corruption. She further advised her viewers not to be <em>&#8220;satisfied with the Mueller report,&#8221;<\/em> which makes sense considering the fact that neither she nor any of her viewers have seen it. What&#8217;s more, what little we do know about the report is insufficient to vindicate the President. But what she meant was that they shouldn&#8217;t be satisfied with what she claimed was Trump&#8217;s exoneration, a conclusion that the report explicitly denied. And finally, she closed with a demand to stop all of Trump&#8217;s critics, by throwing them in jail, with what she called <em>&#8220;behind the bars justice.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A little later in the evening, Saturday Night Live weighed in with an appearance by Pirro (as played by Cecily Strong) during the <em>Weekend Update<\/em> news segment. It was a nearly identical portrayal of the injudicious judge who is pretty funny herself, albeit unintentionally. She made a point of thanking her superfans, the <em>&#8220;mean, horny men laying on in-home hospital beds and white prison gangs who control the remote on Saturdays.&#8221;<\/em> And I defy anyone to differentiate between Pirro&#8217;s wild-eyed raving and Strong&#8217;s satirical take on it. If anything, Strong&#8217;s impression was too understated.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b_y7gs4QTTU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two weeks ago &#8220;Judge&#8221; Jeanine Pirro was suspended from her weekly perch on Fox News after she made comments so reprehensible that they even offended the suits at Fox.
