'Here they go again!' Ex-prosecutor floored as Trump DOJ's Reflecting Pool case crumbles

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice floored a former federal prosecutor after a grand jury witness blew up one of its signature cases. On Monday, reports revealed that a grand jury witness admitted the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was damaged before the prosecution of David Hearn, a former Olympic canoeist who was arrested and charged with felony damage to property after he touched some of the peeling paint in the pool. The admission undercuts the Trump administration's claims that Hearn was responsible for damaging the pool. Hearn's lawyers slammed the indictment in a letter on Tuesday, arguing that the Trump DOJ prosecutors acted improperly. Those claims caught the ear of former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner. He argued in a new podcast that the case seemed destined to go the same way as the prosecutions against former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and the Broadview Six, all of which were dismissed by judges for prosecutorial misconduct. "You may find this shocking, but Donald Trump's dirty DOJ officials, including Jeanine Pirro, may have again been involved in prosecutorial misconduct," Kirschner said. "Here they go again!" he added.

Jay Clayton confirmed as Trump's new spymaster in party-line vote

The Senate confirmed Jay Clayton as President Donald Trump's new Director of National Intelligence, in a 51-47 vote following party lines, reported CBS News.The vote gives Trump his pick in an office responsible for coordinating all of America's intelligence agencies.Previously, the DNI role was held by former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, but she exited office after a number of reported ideological differences over the Iran war. Gabbard denied this was the reason for her exit, citing personal reasons instead.Trump initially wanted to replace Gabbard with loyalist Bill Pulte, his head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and installed Pulte in the agency on an acting basis. However, after bipartisan pushback, he instead selected Clayton, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.Democrats initially considered this an improvement, but remained opposed to Clayton's nomination after his hearing, due in part to his refusal to acknowledge the result of the 2020 presidential election, and his involvement signing off on a controversial set of subpoenas against New York Times reporters.Clayton enters an Office of DNI that is already in turmoil, thanks to Pulte making a series of ideological purges of intelligence officers.
