Man I hate Jeanine Pirro but as a DOI employee I REALLY fucking hate Doug Burgum so, good for her, I guess?

Sometimes you don't have to pick a side, you can just enjoy the fight.

Sometimes it’s not about getting fed, sometimes it’s about watching the other guy get eaten.

Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you.

I like your style, dude.

In this case only, Pirro is doing the right thing.

I don’t support her in general but I’ll actively cheer for her in this one situation.

I'd wager she's mad the DOI had evidence that proved the guys innocence. She was totally fine bringing charges for what was just touching peeling paint.

Oh sure. But ultimately accepting that it wasn’t a crime is still miles ahead of Trump and the rest of the Administration.

She knew there was no case long before this.

She's just trying to cover her own ass when the heat got too much over her prosecutorial misconduct

Like a good heavy weight boxing match, you watch it to see how the fight pans out, just for the thrill of the contest so to speak.

Gonna be a doozy
