Senator Richard Blumenthal has voiced strong opposition to former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro's nomination as the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, appointed by President Trump. Blumenthal describes Pirro as a political zealot, expressing fears that her prosecutorial actions may be politically motivated. He emphasizes the dangers of having someone with her partisan approach in a role that could target political adversaries and undermine justice, potentially following directives from the Trump administration. He reflects on the lasting impact of legal charges on reputations, regardless of the outcome in court.
I'm worried because I was a prosecutor. There's nothing wrong with being a politician, but she is a zealot, and having a zealot in a prosecutorial role is dangerous.
The question is whether she will follow orders from Donald Trump to go after political enemies. Even if charges can be beaten, they hurt one's reputation.
