The DOJ has dismissed the Reflecting Pool vandalism case against former Olympian David Hearn, saying that damage to the pool was "the result of botched installation and not vandalism."
Will there be consequences for this out-of-control regime that threatens people with made-up charges and attempts to ruin their lives?
Of course not.
But let's make sure the electorate is aware of the hideous and destructive acts of this regime.

"Ms. Pirro said that her prosecutors had been misled by the Interior Dept, which had awarded a no-bid contract to a first-time govt contractor to repair the iconic landmark. Ms. Pirro said that the pool’s new blue coating had actually started to peel within two days of the project’s completion, and that the Interior Dept kept that fact from prosecutors, telling them that “nearly all of the damage” was done by vandals." More gaslighting. As if they didn't know. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/us/politics/david-hearn-reflecting-pool-vandalism-charges.html 2/n
