Civil Action: MAGA Muppets – Judge Jeanine’s DC Takeover

Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose the absurd confirmation of Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as US Attorney for the District of Columbia—arguably the most important federal prosecutor position in America. They break down how this Trump loyalist hasn’t practiced law since before the iPhone was invented, with her last prosecutorial experience ending in 2005 in affluent Westchester County. The hosts reveal Pirro’s greatest hits: investigating her ex-husband with illegal wiretaps, claiming Ilhan Omar’s hijab shows disloyalty to America (getting suspended even from Fox), and spreading election fraud lies that cost Fox $787 million in the Dominion settlement. They explain why the DC US Attorney role is unique—handling federal crimes, congressional issues, AND serious local crimes—requiring independence, not Trump loyalty. A devastating look at how the Senate confirmed a racist conspiracy theorist with zero recent experience to one of the nation’s most critical law enforcement positions, illustrating the complete politicization of justice under Trump.
