And who knows where that money went? Clearly it wasn&#8217;t into renovating the Reflecting Pool that remains a disastrous example of incompetence. But even worse, it has become a political tool for persecuting people who refuse to align with Trump&#8217;s twisted agenda. And his U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia &#8211; former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro &#8211; has become the human personification of that tool.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70197\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s US Attorney in DC, Jeanine Pirro, Threatens Journalist for \u2018Vandalizing\u2019 Reflecting Pool<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In June Pirro announced that she was filing charges against former American Olympian, David Hearn, for allegedly vandalizing the Reflecting Pool. She was adamant that she had an open and shut case saying that <em>&#8220;The evidence shows, and we will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Hearn willfully destroyed property at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t quite work out that way. This week Pirro did an Olympic-grade flip-flop, filing a motion to dismiss the charges against Hearn. As <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/trump-administration-drops-reflecting-pool-case-blaming-damage-botched-rcna590303\" target=\"_blank\">reported by NBC News<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Trump administration has dropped its case against a former Olympic canoeist charged in connection with damage to the Reflecting Pool, acknowledging its allegations against David &#8216;Davey&#8217; Hearn don\u2019t hold water. [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Prosecutors said that after the indictment came down on July 2, the Interior Department provided additional documents to the U.S. attorney\u2019s office &#8216;indicating that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor [and] that the damage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Okay. So then everything that Pirro said previously was untrue, and she lied to the Grand Jury that returned the indictment. What&#8217;s more, everything that Trump said about it was also untrue. Particularly his insistence that the damage &#8211; imaginary 350 foot gashes &#8211; was the work of vandals with knives who hate America. Pirro now says that that there is no evidence of any deliberate damage.<\/p>\n<p>But here is where the plot thickens again. After Pirro dropped the charges, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/40410\" target=\"_blank\">Trump posted<\/a><\/strong> his disapproval on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70382\" target=\"_blank\">his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>. He raged that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool. I don\u2019t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned in giant letters on it, and other elements of the surrounding area. There may have been some contractor difficulty, but the major damage was caused by VANDALS!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"embed-x\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump is clinging to his lies, not because of evidence but because he says &quot;To me&quot; vandals damaged the Reflecting Pool.<\/p>\n<p>He&#39;s throwing his own DC US Attorney, former Fox News hack Jeanine Pirro, under the bus. And also his Interior Department that affirmed it was &quot;a botched job.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4rPv9GlNli\">pic.twitter.com\/4rPv9GlNli<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/2083612653252186441?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 1, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>So Trump has thrown Pirro under his bus and backed up over her a couple of times. He is throwing his Interior Department under there as well since Pirro blamed them for her incompetence. Meanwhile, Trump is clinging to his prior lies despite having no evidence to support them. Notice also that he is not reaffirming his position because of any new information or proof, but because he says <em>&#8220;To me&#8221;<\/em> vandals damaged the Reflecting Pool. So it&#8217;s just a feeling that he has. Which for him is enough to prosecute innocent bystanders and rebuke your staff.<\/p>\n<p><em>[UPDATE: Trump&#8217;s Interior Department Secretary, Doug Burgum, has issued a statement calling Pirro a liar and taking Trump&#8217;s side, like a good cult devotee. He says that <\/em>&#8220;The evidence is clear, vandals have repeatedly caused damage to the Reflecting Pool.&#8221; <em>But, like Trump, he produced no such evidence.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s post is like wading through a Deflecting Pool, wherein he attempts to shift the subject to a different incident involving the numbers <em>&#8220;8647&#8221;<\/em> on a grass field. Furthermore, in a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/40412\" target=\"_blank\">subsequent post<\/a><\/strong> Trump tripled down on his allegations saying <em>&#8220;Look for yourselves at the VANDALISM that took place at The Reflecting Pool. The material is being cut with a knife or a box cutter, for all to see!&#8221;<\/em> To no one&#8217;s surprise, the video he posted didn&#8217;t show anyone cutting anything.<\/p>\n<p>You have to wonder how Trump can keep Pirro on as U.S. Attorney in DC. He is undermining her credibility, which was already in short supply. She can hardly be relied upon as a prosecutor in any other cases that her office might file. She ought to be investigated for prosecutorial misconduct. In addition to that, Mr. Hearn is likely considering a lawsuit for malicious prosecution, defamation, and abuse of process.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just like many other cases that Trump&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Justice&#8221;<\/em> Department pursued that they wound up dropping for lack of evidence or other malfeasance. For instance, the case against former FBI Director James for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=67733\" target=\"_blank\">posting a photo of seashells<\/a><\/strong> spelling <em>&#8220;8647.&#8221;<\/em> Also, the cases against Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and four members of Congress for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68290\" target=\"_blank\">reminding military personnel of their duty<\/a><\/strong> to decline to follow illegal orders.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has a spotty record of loyalty in cases such as these. At times he will cut someone loose who has embarrassed him or failed to achieve his nefarious goals. At other times he has stuck by a failing staffer who he regards as staunchly devoted to him. Time will tell where Pirro ends up, although neither is a place of honor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70201\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Reflecting Pool \u2018Media Frenzy\u2019 Story Features Trump as \u2018MUSHROOM DICK MESSIAH\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70285\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Himself Confirms that He is the Most Deviant Lawbreaker in Presidential History<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70349\" target=\"_blank\">Herr Trump Threatens to Muzzle the Free Press in His Unhinged Infomercial for Voter Suppression<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The salacious saga of Donald Trump and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool continues to sink ever deeper into fantastical tales of soap operatic twaddle.
