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

>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
