Trump DOJ Says It Won’t Investigate Trump DOJ’s Reflecting Pool Vandalism Arrests
Who wouldn’t love the chance to clear themselves of misconduct? I guess not the Trump DOJ, which decidedly won’t be investigating itself, even though it could cook the books to an acceptable temperature (155-170 internally) to let itself off the hook in the Reflecting Pool prosecution debacle. It’s too many metaphors to be sure, at...

Court Permanently Dismisses Reflecting Pool Vandalism Case Against David Hearn
Finally. Now, it doesn't matter what Trump wants his DOJ minions to do. If he's going to try to pin a botched repair job on people who just happened to stick a hand into his algae-infested, liner chunk-filled Reflecting Pool/metaphor for his entire presidency, he's going to have to stick it to someone other than...

Reflecting Pool Contractors: Alleged ‘Vandalism’ Was Just Our Own Botched Repair Job
The truth continues to come out, and not via Truth Social. Everything former Olympian David Hearn might need to pursue a malicious prosecution lawsuit against the Trump DOJ has been leaking more steadily than the botched Lincoln Reflecting Pool repair job itself. This time, it's the contractor admitting its repair job didn't go as planned,...

Judge Demands Answers From DOJ For Refusing To Dismiss Reflecting Pool Case With Prejudice
There are multiple things this administration is incapable of doing: winning wars, curbing inflation, not acting like Nazis, wearing shoes that fit them, etc. But if there's one thing it's most known for, it's the unwillingness to take a loss and move on. That's why the DOJ is still trying to imprison/jettison into a war-torn...

Trump Wants The DOJ To Go After Olympian David Hearn Again In Reflecting Pool Vandalism Case
This is why having a case dismissed with prejudice is important. Trump's cronies/donors -- who were paid millions to do a job they'd never done before -- failed to bring the Lincoln Reflecting Pool up to spec by July 4th, preventing Trump from taking sole credit for everyone else's hard work while turning the nation's...

Judiciary Committee Dems Open Investigation Into DOJ’s Reflecting Pool Revenge Prosecutions
The current president continues to self-destruct. Fortunately for us, he insists on doing this publicly. After handing a donor and an unproven company the massive job of redoing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in "American flag blue" in hopes of being able to use it to celebrate himself during America's 250th birthday, everything went tits...

DOJ Dumps Reflecting Pool Charges, Admits It Was All The Fault Of Trump’s No-Bid Pool Guys; While Trump Sticks By His Vandalism Story
Hail to the Chief. Our country is being run by paranoid conspiracy theorist megalomaniac who openly wishes to kick-start America's first autocracy. Nothing that goes wrong is ever the president's fault. It's always the fault of officials with insufficient loyalty or the criminal acts of people out to get him. Trump decided the Lincoln Reflecting...

Grand Jury Witness: Reflecting Pool Was Already Damaged Before Arrested Man Touched It
Donald Trump swore he could turn the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool into something he could use to bask in his own reflected glory. Instead, it turned out to be everything we expect from Trump: braggadocio followed by abject failure. Trump hired some guys he used to do some stuff to his personal pool(s) back in...
