33. You can't be serious?

The US attorney's office in DC (Jeaanine Prirro) has been no billed by a grand jury more in the past year than most us attorneys offices have in decades combined. The reason is she keeps charging innocent people. Here's just one eggregious example.

Jeanine Pirro Fails for the Fourth Time to Charge Same D.C. Woman
U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro has once again failed spectacularly, as she has been unable to charge the same D.C. woman in court four different times.

On Thursday, a jury found Sidney Lori Reid not guilty on misdemeanor charges of assaulting an FBI agent. Reid was accused of assaulting FBI agent Eugenia Bates back in July while being detained. Video shows Reid outside D.C. Jail filming Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who were waiting to arrest two people.

Pirro's office had already tried three separate times before this to federally indict Reid on felony charges, which can carry up to eight years in prison. They alleged that Reid "forcibly pushed" an FBI agent's arm off of her with the intent to injure the agent. That argument failed then, and it failed again on Thursday.

It's clear that Pirro's office is vindictively overcharging in a desperate attempt to make an example out of someone, to have a headline to tout for President Trump. But regardless of how many resources and indictments they throw, it doesn't seem to be working.


I have no idea why somebody who believes people don't get arrested unless there is at least some evidence against them is even on DU since that opinion is completely counter to what the site is all about.
