Justice Department Drops Case After Admitting It Knew Pool Damage Wasn’t Vandalism. Here’s what should alarm you about this story. It’s not just that the government got it wrong. It’s that they charged a man with a crime while sitting on evidence that proved he didn’t commit it.

The facts are straightforward enough. David Hearn, a former Olympic canoeist, visited the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on June 19. Federal prosecutors under Jeanine Pirro’s leadership brought charges. They painted him as a vandal who damaged a national monument. Except there’s one problem with that narrative. The pool was already falling apart.

A National Park Service engineer sent an email on June 11, eight days before Hearn’s visit, explaining that the pool’s liner was peeling. The top layer had begun separating because of overspray from the renovation work. The contractor had used polyurea on the perimeter joint, and the stuff was flaking off in strips one to two feet wide.

This wasn’t speculation or hindsight. This was documented fact, shared with Interior Department officials and park service personnel before Hearn ever showed up. [Americanconservatives.com]

Why is Trump still saying that Hearn should be charged if he is innocent?

Is he still saying that? He got bad intel in the very beginning. I never thought Hearn vandalized anything.

Yes, he is. He's urging Pirro to prosecute him.

I think the guy is really guilty of this crime, so many make so many excuses for sin and lawlessness, look at the followers of Luigi or Stacy the baby killers they have followings too, he is guilty!

You're right, 10:50. If we think Hearn is guilty, that should be enough. Like the guys on the boats that our military is blowing up. There's a good chance that they have drugs so it's okay to kill them all. Hearn put his hand in the water. What else could he be doing? He needs to go to jail for 10 years and I hope Pirro is brave enough to do it, with our without a trial. And if not Trump should order the military to do it.

@3:40...that is one wild comment...it has nothing to do with what you think about Hearn. He put his hand in the water to see what was floating there. Judge Pirro has proved his innocence because of the contractors who have come forward and testified that it was shoddy constructing.
I think you should go to jail for 10 years for condemning someone with NO proof and made up crap. Like that?

The haters will always disagree the haters are blinded by their hate! Anything that President Trump says or does they will disagree with and fight him to the tooth! It just goes to show you how they allow their hate to blind them! That's why they have Trump derangement syndrome they are deranged with hate!
