Jeanine Pirro tried to turn the Department of Justice into a weapon against Trump’s political enemies — and we're not going to let her get away with it.
Pirro, serving as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, directed prosecutors to seek indictments against six Democratic lawmakers – including Sen. Mark Kelly – who told military and intelligence personnel they are not required to obey illegal orders. A grand jury reportedly refused to indict them — an extraordinary rebuke that raises serious questions about whether the case ever had a legitimate legal basis.
Prosecutors have enormous power. They can ruin lives, chill speech, and intimidate public officials. That power must never be used to punish political opponents for protected speech or to send a message that dissent will be met with criminal prosecution.
The Legal Accountability Center just filed a complaint calling for an investigation into Pirro's behavior. It alleges that Pirro violated multiple professional conduct rules by pushing a case that was frivolous, unsupported by probable cause, politically motivated, and prejudicial to the administration of justice.
Bar officials exist to protect the public and the integrity of the legal profession. They have the authority to investigate misconduct and impose discipline when lawyers abuse their power. Public pressure can help ensure this complaint is treated with the urgency it deserves.
Thanks for everything you do.
