Jeanine Pirro is doing the work needed in DC!


OK So now we're a week into her tiem as Washington, DC’s top federal prosecutor and Jeanine Pirro alreadt is facing an urgent test overseeing the investigation into the murders of two Israeli Embassy staffers outside the city’s Jewish museum. The response to the young couples’ murder was under the microscope, as it was her first opportunity to enter the public eye no longer as a Fox News host but as a high-ranking government official leading the charge to bring justice after a public assassination. And not to any shock here her quick command over the investigation garnered high marks from Justice Department officials. Prosecutors who work for her felt cautiously encouraged.

But she’s also getting the benefit for who she is not: Ed Martin, her norm-busting, social media free-wheeling predecessor who drew attention for his email screeds to employees and letters threatening to investigate Democratic members of Congress and liberal groups. Like Martin, Pirro enjoys a close relationship with President Donald Trump and is expected to deviate little from the top priorities Martin was pursuing like immigration enforcement and reducing crime in the nation’s capital. But top officials at the Justice Department found Martin’s antics problematic at times.


So so far the way she handles things has been a welcome to officials at DOJ headquarters and prosecutors who work for her, many of whom are still exhausted by Martin’s tumultuous tenure. “Whew, thank goodness,” one official remarked when asked about Pirro’s handling of the murder investigation. A longtime media personality, the interim US attorney had so far only spoken through social media posts and press releases. One of the posts a video on X criticizing the fact that her prosecutors had to join a paid “water club” to drink from a water cooler at the office was particularly popular, officials inside the office told CNN, and people working there appreciated the notion despite feeling slightly annoyed by her method of delivery.

Her appearance on Wednesday was far more traditional, as she and Attorney General Pam Bondi arrived at the Capital Jewish Museum soon after a man fired point blank at 26-year-old Sarah Milgrim and her boyfriend, 30-year-old Yaron Lischinsky, killing both. Pirro’s decision to go to the scene of the shooting Wednesday night with little publicity or fanfare earned her respect inside the US attorney’s office, one person told CNN. She stood silently behind the attorney general as she addressed reporters, trying to maintain her composure but visibly shaken by the grisly murder at the museum.

The Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has previously been criticized by Republicans for crime in the city, and her role in the cover up on J/6 where Nancy Pelosi and her denied help in the capitol riot. She's someone who needs to be investigated as far as many on the right think and she while that's her history she has been relieved by the how smoothly the shared investigation has been conducted, and that Pirro, Bondi and Bowser found a mutual respect for the work each was doing under the immense pressure they faced, sources with knowledge of their relationship told CNN reporters. “A young couple at the beginning of their life’s journey, about to be engaged in another country, had their bodies removed in the cold of the night in a foreign city in a body bag,” Pirro said Thursday from a lectern in her office. She continued; “And I am not unaware, based upon my own background, of the repercussions of this kind of case.

This is the kind of case that picks at old sores and old scars, because these kinds of cases remind us of what has happened in the past that we can never and must never forget.” A spokesperson from the DC US Attorney’s Office said, While Elias Rodriguez has not entered a formal plea in court “Judge Pirro has a history of fighting crime for over three decades and will continue to utilize her expertise in implementing the highest standards to assess and prosecute cases. She expects nothing less from her staff. Her job right now is to bring Law And Order to DC and make it safe for everyone.” “As for this case, it is of the greatest import that the evidence collected be assessed and analyzed in a sterile courtroom setting and not in a publicized political setting,” the spokesperson added.

The murder investigation is still in its initial phase, and department officials, including Pirro, have said they are looking to bring potential hate crime or terrorism charges against the suspect, Elias Rodriguez. But even if the case went to trial with the charges filed Thursday, Rodriguez could face the death penalty. If the Justice Department does choose to seek capital punishment, it will be a major legal and political test for Pirro and the US Attorney’s Office, putting the case on a long path to trial that would need to be carefully handled in a largely liberal-leaning city. 

The federal court in the District of Columbia hasn’t had a death penalty trial since 2003, when Rodney L. Moore was convicted of 10 murders and Kevin L. Gray was convicted of 19 murders. The jurors said they couldn’t agree unanimously on sentences of death for the two men rather than life imprisonment. People close to the office felt encouraged by the fact that an experienced national security prosecutor, Jeffrey Nestler, was assigned to handle the possible death penalty case and was at the scene of the crime by midnight Wednesday to oversee evidence collection. 

Several other top prosecutors within the office had either left the Justice Department since the Trump presidency began or had been fired or demoted during Martin’s tenure.

Darrell Neely sentenced to 28 months in prison for stealing plates, police jacket from Capitol


Darrell Neely is now the first misdemeanor defendant to receive more than a year in prison in the so called insurrection. Or Capitol riot case. Right out of Washington a federal judge sentenced one of only a handful of D.C. residents charged in connection with the Capitol riot to 28 months in prison Tuesday marking the first time a misdemeanor Jan. 6 defendant has received more than a year behind bars.

Darrell Neely was convicted in a bench trial in May of five misdemeanor counts. Prosecutors said the radio and YouTube broadcaster had spent more than an hour inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and stole four china plates, as well as multiple items belonging to a Capitol Police officer, including the jacket bearing his badge. U.S. District Juge John Bates, who presided over the trial, acquitted Neely of a felony count of civil disorder.

Although the misdemeanor charges Neely was convicted of carry a maximum statutory penalty of one year in prison, prosecutors asked Bates to sentence him to 33 months behind bars. They argued his lengthy criminal history, which includes a domestic violence case, his decision to abscond from D.C. while he was on pretrial release and his lack of remorse warranted nearly three years in prison.

Bates, a 2001 nominee of former President George W. Bush, explained in court Tuesday that to give such a prison term he would have to use what’s known as “stacking” or consecutive sentences. Prior to Tuesday, no judge had ordered consecutive sentences in a Jan. 6 case. But Bates said he thought Neely warranted it.

“What really convinces me that the sentences should be stacked… is that criminal history, which is pretty unique among misdemeanors, your lack of respect for the law, which is glaring, and your flight while facing prosecution,” Bates said.

Bates ordered Neely held without bond last year after he failed to appear for multiple court appearances. Neely’s attorneys, Kira Anne West and Nicole Ann Cubbage, asked Bates to sentence him to effectively time-served for the period he spent in the D.C. Jail. West highlighted a number of continuing education courses Neely had completed while in detention, including courses in digital marketing and veterinary studies.

Neely said Tuesday he went inside the Capitol as a journalist because another Jan. 6 defendant initially described in his filings as the “woman in a pink beret” now identified and charged as Jennifer Inzunza Vargas Geller told him she would help him interview members of the Proud Boys. Neely also previously alleged, without evidence, that he believed Vargas Geller had a connection to law enforcement.

Neely asked Bates to look past his criminal record and sentence him far below what prosecutors were requesting. 
“A person’s record is not who they are,” Neely said. “You’re trying to make a person out of a piece of paper.” Bates ultimately sentenced Neely to 28 months. He said the DOJ’s request for 33 months was excessive, but Neely clearly had been deterred by his previous encounters with the justice system.

He also rejected the idea that Neely entered the building as a journalist. 
“The encouragement of other rioters is certainly not the conduct of a neutral, uninvolved journalist,” Bates said.

Neely was the first Jan. 6 defendant to receive a stacked sentence, but quickly gained company in that category Tuesday afternoon. Later in the day, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly ordered former Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio to serve 22 years in prison for his role in a plot to incite violence at the Capitol and stop the certification of the 2020 election.

Because the most serious charge Tarrio was convicted of, seditious conspiracy, carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, Kelly ordered the sentence on a separate count served consecutively to reach 22 years and he wasn't even at the so called insurrection. How does that work? You give a guy 22 years who wasn't even there and nobody from his group did anything to do anything. The Proud Boys have been other wise been known to STOP Antifa/BLM in the past from looting and burning down buildings.

Karine Jean-Pierre A True communist/Socialist! What a moronic answer...


So Biden's mouth piece Karine Jean-Pierre is back at it again making ignorant statements on things she's got no clue on. The banning of AR-15 and how many are in circulation. Her reply to a reporter here is stunning.

Watch in the tweet below and my reply!






REPORTER
: "There are 25 million [AR-15s] out there in circulation in the homes of millions of Americans, and therefore you can't ban them. What's the president's response to that?"



Karine Jean-Pierre
: "That's unacceptable."

FBI Headquarters in Washington DC - Boarded-up, Stairs Chained off - No one in Building


Ok so the video below from a Citizen Journalist reports that the FBI Headquarters in Washington, DC is vacant this morning, June 15, 2021, and the entrance doors are BOARDED-up.

Why is everyone gone tho is the question? Perhaps they feared something was happening cause it was Trumps birthday on June 14th and well they took these measures.

Remember we Trump supporters aren’t the issue but Black lives Matter, Antifa and the democRATS love this for optics purposes and they use things like this and use the spin to smear us, and Trump.

No one can even walk-up the entry stairs which have a small chain across them to keep everyone out… Nobody really has been told the actual reasons why this is taking place but it sure seems ominous, and serious.

JUNE 14th WHICH IS Donald Trumps birthday!
