2025 Bad Guy Crookie: Trump's Incompetent 'Prosecutors'
Jeanine Pirro, Lindsey Halligan and Alina Habba all showed us what failing upwards looked like this year.
Chris Hayes provided a nice summary on his show on Christmas Eve on these incompetent hacks, like Jeanine Pirro who couldn't even indict a ham sandwich back in September, and Lindsey Halligan, who had her cases against New York attorney Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey tossed out in court.
HAYES: Do you remember the DC sandwich guy? That would be the gentleman who chucked his Subway sandwich in the chest of a Customs and Border Protection agent on a corner in the nation's Capitol last summer, all recorded on a smartphone.
The Department of Justice tried to indict him on federal assault. A grand jury did something grand juries almost never do. It just said, no, not going to happen. There's that old saying about how any prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Apparently not at the prosecutor's work for Donald Trump.
Sandwich Guy's case was just one of many losses for the D.C. U.S. Attorney and former Fox host Jeanine Pirro. Pirro also tried three times to indict a woman for pushing an FBI agent in a protest. All three times a grand jury returned a decision of no true bill rejecting the indictments.
