It's really hitting the fan now.
The whole vandalism story was cover for a costly, botched Reflecting Pool debacle.
Pirro played along as long as she could. But in court, you need evidence. And they didn't have any.
As with his election denial, and trumped-up indictments of his political enemies, @POTUS doesn't care!
In his world, nothing is on the legit, and the DOJ is but a club to use whenever and however he requires!

If this happened to a Democrat, Fox News would be calling it the biggest corruption story of the decade.

[ABC News @ABC]

JUST IN: Capital One says it closed hundreds of bank accounts associated with President Trump and his businesses in 2021 "for anti-money laundering reasons," according to a recent court filing from the financial institution.

I know a lot of people have already posted about it. But it's really just... I don't know. The president is selling 6-figure access to his social media feed so Wall Street algorithms can beat you to the punch and fleece you before news even hits your phone. He's making millions on a system designed to give a massive advantage to major corporate traders who can afford a feed that gives them information first. It's the single most corrupt thing I've ever seen a politician do with their office. Literally.

The corruption is stunning. This deal "shields all the Trumps and their businesses not only from enforcement of any taxes they may have dodged, or enforcement of any fines or payments they may owe to the government, but from ‘any and all’ consequences for violating any federal criminal or civil law." And @JohnCornyn and @SenThomTillis are ok with this.

CNN side by side video of Trump saying today he didn’t know the reflecting pool contractor and… 

Trump in April saying: I have a guy who's unbelievable at doing swimming pools. I'm going to send my contractor over.

The only people Trump has empathy for are men accused of domestic/sexual assault & Ghislaine Maxwell. Part CXVII

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

MORE CASES DROPPED: Prosecutors in Washington are now dropping charges against three more defendants who had been accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool.

Jeanine Pirro abruptly abandoned the four cases after investigators concluded that botched work by a contractor, not vandalism, was the primary cause of "widespread damage" to the pool's new blue lining.

Measles cases are surging, the CDC has 25% less staff, and we just had our first two cyclospora deaths. Whooping cough is back!

But sure, let's argue about whether "the science" is trustworthy instead of asking why his own agency is failing on basic public health.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

What this means is that Trump has stolen an estimated $100mm from US taxpayers by avoiding the pending audit of his filed returns.

The chilling thing about the Trump administration falsely accusing David Hearn is what it reveals: they have no hesitation targeting ordinary American citizens when it serves their agenda. It’s the same playbook they used with Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and countless others. The pattern is unmistakable. When the truth becomes inconvenient, they pick a citizen, invent a villain, and count on the wreckage to advance their interests. This is an administration willing to inflict real harm on ordinary people to protect its own power.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

This is a mental illness disguised as religious devotion.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

I don’t want to be an alarmist, but a commander in chief who wants to blame foreign cyber attacks against American assets on domestic partisans so as to avoid admitting he made a mess of things, is … suboptimal.

[Jessica Tarlov @JessicaTarlov]

New polling should terrify Republicans:

Jon Ossoff (Georgia) + 13
Roy Cooper (North Carolina) +9
Josh Turek (Iowa) +4
Sherrod Brown (Ohio) +8
James Talarico (TX) +3
Even Greg Abbott is only +1

GOP says we’re a bunch of lunatic socialists. Every one of them is running as a centrist Democrat on addressing the cost of living, healthcare, and cleaning up corruption. If that's the environment, no Republican should feel safe right now.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

Trump is lying. WaPo knows he is lying. We all know he is lying. Yet, the Post cannot say it.

Support independent pro-democracy media that never backs down from the truth. https://t.co/7W0yoPHmq2

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

This is what happens when you fire all of the professionals. What an international embarrassment this Administration has become.

[Barbara Comstock @BarbaraComstock]

So many lies -
@JudgeJeanine said she went and looked at the reflecting pool herself!
@DougBurgum said he was 100% sure it was vandalism!

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

As I reported a couple of weeks ago, Trump, the DOJ and the WH were lying all along. Cases against alleged vandals were all lies. Lawsuits should be filed and the liars should be shamed.
