https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/31/politics/doj-admits-reflecting-pool-renovation-flawed-drops-case-david-hearn

The Justice Department is admitting that a President Donald Trump-prompted $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing from DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

“It was not until after the return of the indictment [of Hearn], that the [Department of Interior] provided additional documents to the [US Attorney’s Office in DC] indicating that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor, Atlantic Industrial Coatings, and the rush to complete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration in the weeks surrounding Independence Day 2026,” Pirro’s office wrote.

Hearn’s attorneys said in a statement reacting to the decision, “The Trump administration’s case against David Hearn should never have been brought. Its dismissal today does not erase the abuse of government power in arresting and charging a patriotic American who did nothing wrong. The government’s approach was ready, fire, aim. The administration owes Mr. Hearn an apology.”

When CNN called the contracting company Friday evening, an employee with Atlantic Industrial Coatings said they hadn’t heard anything about the new filing, adding, “No comment.”

So exactly, line by line, what everyone who isn't a Trump loving retard knew as soon as this started
>>
>>1526789
Trump and his minions are so fucking stupid.
>>
>>1526789
Can't wait for the counter lawsuit pointing out they wasted like two weeks of this guy's life and owe him legal fees.
>>
>>1526789
But Trump said he had video proof.
>>
>>1526790
Yes, and I love how they’re deliberately phrasing this to avoid acknowledging that.
>>
>>1526790
>>1526799
Nah, I think its the the fallback cope after the actual investigation pointed to Trumps stupid fucking driverthrough damaging the foundation
We'll see if they do any patchwork to fix that as a confirmation

I don't think we'll see any actual adminission of guilt, and they'll quietly bury confirmation that we're still paying those chuckfefucks again to fix it.
>>
>>1526803
They already admitted to destroying the supposed crime scene by starting more work before anyone could inspect it, so they'll probably just say that no one can prove or disprove anything.
>>
>>1526790
Literally
>>1520581
>Make a big deal about how horrible the reflecting pool looks
>Hand relining job to contractor in April and tell them to get started before you even agree to a price
>Contractor strips and relines the pool, but the lining doesn't take. Strip and reline a second time. Still doesn't take.
>Strip and reline a third time, you tell them "Fuck it good enough, I want that shit filled in time for my rasslin' themed birthday party!"
>Contractor shrugs and fills in the pool, doesn't give it time to cure properly
>Algae immediately starts blooming in the pool because it's a giant pool of stagnant water in the summer heat
>Hire your convicted criminal buddy who paid you a bribe through your reelection fund to clean up the algae
>Convicted criminal buddy half asses the job, dumps in chemicals that dissolve the already weak lining
>Chunks start floating to the top of the pool
>Algae comes back anyway
>Start arresting people picking at the chunks of dissolved lining
>Try to blame the entire thing falling apart on them because cause and effect just kind of go whichever way you want
>Normal people see right through your bullshit, the retard base eats it up like they have every ridiculous lie you've told for the last decade
>>
>>1526809
This pool shit isn't the most maliciously corrupt shit they've ever done, nor is it the most seriously corrupt, but it might be the most flagrantly corrupt.

Tossing felony charges at random bystanders to save face is in some ways a new low for this administration.
>>
>>1526818
dpn't forget the fact that trump is a draft dodger who is scamming the shit out of his own countrymen and he arrested an olympian on false charges
>>
>>1526803
>I don't think we'll see any actual adminission of guilt

Name one single thing Trump has ever admitted to doing wrong. Over the course of his whole life. Just one single thing.
>>
Q: How can you tell when Trump is guilty?
A: He exists
>>
>>1526823
Hiring Pence.
>>
>>1526830
A. He's in New York, and it's an election year.
>>
And trump's fascist lawfare against real, honest American citizens continues.
Hopefully everyone involved in the prosecution is disbarred and sued for pain inflicted.

>>1526809
The big reason you got an algae bloom is because they used a very dark color, I know Republicans are anti science, but dark colors absorb heat more, which is why the water was warmer and the algae bloom happened.
Any non corrupt person could realize why this happened.

Also the chemicals were killing the local wildlife, like ducklings that used the pool too, so that's par for the course.
>>
>>1526886
So, how many times must liggeral bullshit be debunked before they stop spouting their retarded bulllshit?
>>
>>1526889
Projection.
>>
>>1526809
You're also missing the part where Trump drove an entire caravan of armoured vehicles over the damned thing because he can't walk further than twenty metres at a time.
>>
Q: How do you tell when a migger lies and spouts retarded bullshit?
A: 1526889 exists
>>
>>1526797
trump also thought that the MS13 letters on top of that guy's tattoos on that guy's knuckles were tattooed onto that guy's knuckles.

He's not very bright, and just believes what his sycophants tell him
>>
Lol Diddlin' Donnie is already throwing a hissy fit and whining that his feelings don't care about facts
>I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned in giant letters on it, and other elements of the surrounding area. There may have been some contractor difficulty, but the major damage was caused by VANDALS! President DJT
Even his handpicked Fox News lackey DA knows this case is bullshit, but Trumpy's feefees are all that matters
>>
I don't understand how this happened, as I was led to believe that tRump personally dealt with this problem.
>>
>>1526803
>driverthrough damaging the foundation
those presidential limousines are armored and heavy.

very entertaining episode from the penultimate season of the tRumps.
>>
>>1526983
Hell, anything heavier than a fucking golf cart would've risked damage to the thing. The only excuse that I can think of for that retard driving his motorcade directly onto it is that he is physically incapable of walking an even remotely respectable distance anymore. Even a fat fuck like him should be able to make a quick jaunt down the place, but the fact is he's badly ill. His body's coming apart at the seams and he'll never admit it.
>>
>>1526985
He did it to show off how tough and strong and indestructible the lining is, despite no pool lining anywhere being rated for that kind of thing
And this was after he made the contractor rush the job and half ass it so it would be done by July 4th
Why he waited until the last minute to reline the pool instead of taking care of it in the year and change he was in office beforehand, who knows
Then again, waiting until the last minute and half assing things his entire life has gotten him where he is, so why shift strategies now?
>>
>>1526981
Literally his admin is forced to admit it wasn't him and he's still insistent it was vandals. He physically cannot admit he was wrong.
>>
This whole thing has to go down as one of the stupidest wastes of taxpayer dollars ever conceived. From the moment they announced this idea people pointed out it was retarded; even if they took their time and used the best quality of paint (and also didn't drive over the damn thing), it doesn't change how that shade of blue promotes algae growth and the ways to prevent that (red lighting, hyperactive filters, massive amounts of chlorine) are completely inaccessible to a reflecting pool. But did they listen? Nope, and then they half-assed the whole thing anyway. And if the half-assing wasn't enough, they ran over it. And if the half-assing and the runover wasn't enough, when the algae inevitably turned the fucking thing green, they half-assed dumping chemicals in by literally just grabbing like a few dozen regular canisters of bleach from store shelves and dumping it all near the edges, which not only didn't kill the algae anywhere other than the edges, but also destroyed the new liner even further because you dumped bleach on it.

And then when people point out the fucking thing is falling apart, they blame imaginary vandals and arrest people just for touching it. So now in addition to the costs of draining and repainting a square space longer than most skyscrapers TWICE, we're also gonna have to pay for all the resulting countersuits for malicious prosecution.
>>
>>1526889
Still trying to push this forced racist term?
>>
>>1527001
This means the victim can sue trump for defamation, just like the women he raped and defamed did.
>>
>>1527010
they think you're triggered
>>
>>1526789
It's begun—Trump caves to leftist pressure yet again. Pack it up, the Communists won.
>>
>>1527015
I do appreciate conflating common sense and reality with leftists and communism.
>>
So how many times must the migger 1526889 be humiliated before it admits that all its opinions are more than wrong.
Just after the midterms when Trump is politically castrated, then a Democrat administration is in the White House just a few months after the presidential election: then the utter degradation of all rightards in /news/ can really begin.
>just after the midterms when Trump is politically castrated
Then 'TDS' will have a new meaning: Trump Destruction Schadenfreude.
>20th January 2029
Followed by 'TMD': Total MAGA Death.
>>
>>1527011
Aww, what’s wrong leftists?! Gonna sue your way through life again?!?
>>
>>1527011
Courts should really start penalizing Trump and the DOJ for wasting their time with this kind of thing
>>
>>1527021
>heh, I may be down a few million but- wait why the fuck am I bragging about you literally taking my money?
>>
Aww, what's wrong rightists?! Your orange god gonna frivolous lawsuit its way to death.
>>
>>1527011
Trump has made so much money off his presidency he could lose lawsuits for the remainder of his life and his friends and families will still be billionaires
>>
>>1527258
Unironically why I think there should be an amount of corruption that earns you a death penalty. if you have enough money to bribe away prison and fines mean nothing, having the reaper catch up to you is the only consequence that'll make people pause.
>>
>>1527285
China does it therefore we can’t do it
