Whilst Trump, for his part, had quickly asserted that “Deranged Vandals” were responsible for the damage now the DOJ blamed the Interior Department for failing to share information about the status of that work that would have dissuaded the government from seeking an indictment in the first place.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, in a motion to dismiss charges against former Olympian David Hearn for allegedly vandalizing the reflecting pool, wrote that previously undisclosed problems with the installation of its blue lining... blablabla

So in the end the big builder Trump can not even renovate a pool, wasting millions of tax payer money, and even after they had to admit previously undisclosed problems are responsible the same corrupt system gives renovation to the same corrupt company with no record of doing such work...

Trump said at a June 22 press event, after news reports surfaced of blue pieces of the pool’s lining separating from the bottom. “Probably a box cutter or a knife of some kind.”

If anyone is deranged it is Trump.

Her arms must be aching.......she has spent the last 24 hours pushing people under the bus and providing a route for never ending law suits by Hearn et al.

where are the trumpets who knew all along that sabotage was to blame? Pretty quiet from their side right now...

Anyone who’s ever watched ‘Murder She Wrote’ knows it was the Pool Boy that done it.

I believe the statement ‘The Pool

Boy had it in for me’ is the clue.

Jerry Falwell Jr will confirm for those who are skeptical.

Instead of just taking Trump's or Dept of Interior''s word for it, she or the DOJ should have checked and verified the evidence themselves before pressing charges.

Damages or defamation claims to follow?

Of course, she's lying like a good MAGA! 🤣🤣🤣

She was warned about the damage by the DOI 8 days before the former Olympian was caught!

"On June 11, a National Park Service engineer alerted Interior Department colleagues to some peeling of the liner around the perimeter of the pool, according to an email Pirro’s office obtained in recent days. Prosecutors noted on Friday that is the same part of the pool liner Hearn was accused of ripping up.

Hearn was arrested eight days later on June 19 and indicted on July 2."

Trump and his minions complained that the Biden administration used the courts to harass him. Now Trump is using the courts to pursue anyone and everyone whom he perceives to be a threat to him. Americans, and the entire world, are living in scary and dangerous times.

GLUG GLUG GLUG

The blame is right there.

it was expected that the blaming would be red-directed to the "leftists" radical left" anybody but him. I do think that somebody will soon be going back to be a TV judge again, heads will be cut off as "the MAGA never back down" and never will admit to their own mistakes/screw ups and no evidence to support their narrative, where is the evidence they claim to have, show is, post it, if there was so much evidence that was provided to the Pirlo lady why did she dismiss the charges, could it be "bogus" evidence, they are specialists on that type of evidence

Some of these acts were even caught on camera. We also provided the U.S. Attorney's office expert and eyewitness testimony to the damage done by vandals and provided every piece of evidence they asked for in the requested time line detailing each area of damage at the pool.

So even his forefront lapdogs can not find any proof of vandalism he, without a shred of evidence, continues to spread lies...

I wonder how many idiots agreed to his baseless suggestions...

as expected the truth about his lies are being exposed

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro acknowledged that the sheets of floating paint that appeared after the renovation were caused by a "flawed installation by the contractors."

The filing also blamed the Department of the Interior for "failing to fully and accurately provide" that information to Pirro's prosecutors before they charged Hearn with property destruction.

The "radical vandals" President Donald Trump blamed for ruining the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool have turned out not to be the culprits after all.....but his own Justice Department now says the damage was caused by contractor error.

The admission came in a filing Friday

Trump’s Reflecting Pool Lies Exposed in Humiliating Admission

https://au.yahoo.com/news/trump-reflecting-pool-lies-exposed-085032341.html

the reflecting pool saga keeps him going, his priorities do not concern if the American citizens are happy or not but the main priority is to hold a revengeful grudge against anybody who doesn't agree with him. He keeps claiming to have overwhelming evidence of the vandalism he claims that happened however as of now still no plausible evidence of any vandal act, the only evidence is the poor job done some (one of his supporters) unqualified contractor. Trump should concentrate on his campaign promises and help the American citizens as they are struggling with the high cost of living

that there was video evidence of an actual perpetrator committing the vandalism.

This is not true. His own Department of Justice already admitted that, in writing.

"Given all of this newly discovered information, it is difficult to attribute the widespread damage to the Reflecting Pool to vandalism, let alone to establish that fact beyond a reasonable doubt,"
