In the wake of a betrayal by Senate RINOs that left him unable to confirm former Interim US Attorney for D.C. Ed Martin in that position, President Donald Trump announced that he was making beloved, conservative Fox News Channel host Judge Jeanine Pirro the interim US Attorney for D.C.
Announcing as much in an early evening post on his Truth Social social media platform on Thursday, May 8, President Trump explained that Pirro is qualified for the position and will be a valuable fighter against crime, as shown by her past work as a prosecutor. He also noted that she is a contributor on FNC’s “The Five,” where she frequently burnished her conservative credentials by clashing with Jessica Tarlov.
Beginning the post, the president announced to what position he was appointing the FNC personality and former judge, and put a positive spin on what was foisted on him by RINOs in the Senate. He said, “I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia.”
Continuing, he started explaining what credentials she has for the new, important DOJ position, explaining, “Jeanine was Assistant District Attorney for Westchester County, New York, and then went on to serve as County Judge, and District Attorney, where she was the first woman ever to be elected to those positions.”
He added that she also was a serious fighter against crime and crusader against domestic violence, writing, “During her time in office, Jeanine was a powerful crusader for victims of crime. Her establishment of the Domestic Violence Bureau in her Prosecutor’s Office was the first in the Nation.”
Then, describing her career with FNC and noting that she has generally been a success at whatever she has tried, President Trump wrote, “She excelled in all ways. In addition to her Legal career, Jeanine previously hosted her own Fox News Show, Justice with Judge Jeanine, for ten years, and is currently Co-Host of The Five, one of the Highest Rated Shows on Television.”
Concluding, he insisted that she is qualified and noted again that she was hugely successful as a DA and in life generally, writing, “Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!”
Commenters on X had mixed opinions on the move. One, for example, argued that Pirro must show she is willing to take on the Swamp, saying, “We don’t want celebrities in charge of the DOJ. We want people in charge of the DOJ that will prosecute the democrat criminals. Unless she is willing to do that she is the wrong choice.”
Another, somewhat more positive commenter, insinuated that Pirro is a good choice in part because of how much she infuriates certain people, also arguing that Trump could troll the RINOs and left with an interim appointment strategy. That commenter said, “He should just rotate his nomination between her and Martin every 120 days. According to Google, there’s no limit on how many times you can nominate a person for this position.”
